What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁
My favourite thing about tutoring is being able to engage with my students when teaching a certain topic or subject. I feel a sense of accomplishment when a student is finally able to understand a certain question they had troubles on.My Strengths as Tutor 💪
My strength would be the ability to create a positive learning experience for my students. I try to make my sessions as interesting as possible and in turn it would make them feel more inclined to learn and ask questionsMost important things I can do for a student 🏅
In my opinion, the most important thing we can do for a student is not just to teach but to also listen. To ensure that the student can make the most out of each session, its best to first understand the areas that the student is having trouble with and then to work as a team to increase their understanding in these area.Tutoring students in 👦 👧
