What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁
I enjoy building a long-term relationship with a student and their parents. Being able to understand the student's needs and having a chance to observe how they learn and to reflect on it is deeply satisfying. When I work with students one-on-one I can find the resources that work for that particular student. I enjoy designing learning programs for one person. Moreover, I see a teacher-student relationship as a collaboration and exchange of ideas, where both parties can learn from each other.
My Strengths as Tutor 💪
I'm an empathetic person who can sense when a student, perhaps, doesn't have as much energy or on the contrary, is ready for a challenge. This skill of understanding the student's needs and capacities allows me to adapt the lesson to make sure the student enjoys every minute of it. My other strength is having a clear structure in every lesson. I plan my lessons in advance, give students homework, and reflect on what worked and didn't work in my lessons, which helps me improve. Finally, my other strength is incorporating creative thinking into lessons and encouraging students to use their imagination.
Most important things I can do for a student 🏅
A tutor can notice the student's strength and nourish it through a structured set of activities that the student can do in class as well as independently. A tutor can also notice the areas of student's weaknesses and supply the student with a learning program that can tackle these weaknesses gradually and methodically. Additionally, a tutor is a person to whom the student feels comfortable asking questions without any fear of being judged. Also, if a student wants to achieve a specific result in final exams, a tutor can work with the student to achieve it.
