Verified Tutor
What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁
The ability to help others feel confident in their skills. Everyone deserves to be able to feel comfortable getting an education, and I love helping that happen.My Strengths as Tutor 💪
Patience! I understand how frustrating it can be for students who aren't achieving the goals they set for themselves, or who aren't understanding a concept and I endeavour to help others remain calm, patient and understanding with themselves to take the time they need!Most important things I can do for a student 🏅
Be available and help them develop transferable skills. In my opinion, there's no point handing them an A+ essay to study and learn phrases, but rather help them understand why each type of connection and phrase is important and adds value, so that they can build their own skills which can be used under pressure in exams and across all of their subjects.Subjects Tutored 🎓
