What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁
I have been working with children for over 25 years. I enjoy helping children to learn and grasp the concepts that they find challenging. Seeing the ‘aha!’ moment on their faces when they finally do, is priceless.My Strengths as Tutor 💪
I am warm and approachable and yet firm when the need calls for it. I try to find a way that the child understands and not just the “correct†or generally accepted way of learning and understanding something.Most important things I can do for a student 🏅
Give them Confidence. Encouragement. Excitement to learn. The comfort and courage to make mistakes and to learn from them in not just academics, but in their development is something that I believe in.Tutoring students in 👦 👧
