Verified Tutor
What do I enjoy most about tutoring? ๐
Helping students to prepare for their exams and trying to get them to feel more confident for it as well. Students might have questions left unanswered from school or particular problems in their homework they might be stuck at, and I enjoy helping them clarify those questions and solve those questions.My Strengths as Tutor ๐ช
I am able to connect and better understand the student in order to provide a tailored approach to help them, be it in their assignments or revisions. Learning, especially with younger students is also heavily dependent on how open and well received the tutor is and that's why understanding the student's learning style is also important and to do it, you would have to connect with the student.Most important things I can do for a student ๐
I think the most important things a tutor can do for a student other than achieving results would be that they gain something out of it. Grades are important but not the end all. Learning is a process and whats important is that there is progress, no matter how small and as long as the attitude and willingness to learn is there, I believe that there would be results eventually.Subjects Tutored ๐
