What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁
Watching kids' faces light up when they have a eureka moment, sharing my passion for topics I love, and opportunities to learn more myself (students so often make you question things which you've never stopped to think about before).My Strengths as Tutor 💪
Memorable and concise communication. The best explanation in the world isnt going to help if you can't remember it. Understanding and empathy. Sometimes kids have a lot going on, and it's important to recognise that and support them with what they need help with.Most important things I can do for a student 🏅
Teach a student how to learn, not just remember things. A student who can learn can make the best of the natural curiosity which lives inside each and every one of us, so much more than a student who can simply recite facts.Subjects Tutored 🎓
