Verified Tutor
What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁
I relish the look on a students face when they understand how to solve the problem they have been facing. I like challenging myself in finding new ways to describe and present solutions to others to help them better understand it. I believe all students deserve the help to achieve their best, where tutoring often helps with this.My Strengths as Tutor 💪
I believe that I am good at describing solutions in a variety of ways to enable a student to better understand their problem. I think numbers and mathematics come easy to me, and that the challenge is to articulate this to others.Most important things I can do for a student 🏅
A tutor should connect with a student and approach problems in a way best for the student rather than what a tutor is more familiar with. With many problems, there are a variety of ways to go about it. The ability to adapt for the student to best understand it is important.Subjects Tutored 🎓
