What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁
I enjoy the moment when the student discovers the value of a new concept and enjoys their "discovery". In fact, since learning goes through a number of stages (from exposure towards authority), when the student starts to enjoy his/her work, that means that he/she's about to become self-driven on the road to learning excellence.My Strengths as Tutor 💪
I have developed my own teaching/tutoring philosophy. I call it the 4CE philosophy (pronounced Foresee). It consists of five tenets: 1- Coaching/Coordination 2- Critical Thinking 3- Continuity 4- Complementariness 5- Ethics. The selection, interpretation and implementation of these tenets are points of strengths of my tutoring methodology.Most important things I can do for a student 🏅
To motivate him/her, and pave the way for him/her to become autonomous with his/her learning. This is typically done by instilling in the student a number of good learning habits.Tutoring students in 👦 👧
