What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁
The most I enjoy about tutoring is the ability to teach someone a topic that they find hard to comprehend or grasp in such a way that at the end of it they find that particular topic very interesting and in fact try to learn more in detail about that topic outside of classwork.My Strengths as Tutor 💪
- Ability to relate with the difficulties faced by the Students. - Try to explain the solutions in the most simple manner as possible. - Understanding of the Students state of mind to address his fear regarding any particular topic. - Guiding the Students in the right direction.Most important things I can do for a student 🏅
For me the most important thing a tutor can do is to guide the student in such a way that at the end of it, the student is able to lead by himself in the direction he was originally intended to go. It is similar to the lines of giving a man a fish to teaching him to fish. The tutor has to ignite the spark of interest in the student so that the student finds the particular topic interesting and can do well in it provided he puts in the required hard work needed (with the assistance of the Tutor).Subjects Tutored 🎓
