What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁

I enjoy most seeing students understand concepts that they have struggled with in the past. The fulfilment and satisfaction felt by students as they figure out a problem, come up with an idea or solve an equation is a genuine joy to watch.

My Strengths as Tutor 💪

I believe I am approachable and patient, through my previous jobs and volunteering I have extensive experience building connections and refining my interpersonal communication skills. I think I excel most working with younger students through my extensive experience as a sports coach, martial arts instructor and volunteer.

Most important things I can do for a student 🏅

I think the most important thing a tutor can give a student is confidence. However, this is not just a feel self-assurance in their learning but a confidence and self-security to be wrong. The imperative of tutoring is not to build knowledge but to create an environment for learning, this means allowing students the freedom to express their thoughts and ideas with confidence, without fear of being ridiculed for getting a wrong answer. The fear of being incorrect does not cultivate learning, for it is often the best learning is made following the worst of mistakes.
