What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁
I love helping people discover their own ability. I am interested in helping people build on what they know, and to support them to develop confidence in the process of learning. It is a true joy to me when a person has that "Ah-ha"! moment.My Strengths as Tutor 💪
I am clear, honest, patient and can be direct. I take an interest in each person, and seek to make connections that are real. I like to understand each person I work with, so that I can best help them make their own way once I am no longer there.Most important things I can do for a student 🏅
A good tutor takes an interest in her student, wants the best for her student, and seeks every possible avenue to support the student to develop in themselves and in the subject being focused upon. An excellent tutor ultimately makes herself unnecessary!Tutoring students in 👦 👧
