What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁
I enjoy seeing student's progress and growth as they gain more confidence with a subject. Tutoring mathematics, I have watched students who have initially struggled with their multiplication tables, deterred by mathematics grow into people who are able to confidently recite their tables. My happiness not only comes from celebrating in their academic achievement but also in watching them grow into individuals becoming more responsible for their studies.
My Strengths as Tutor 💪
I think that one of my strengths is being patient with students and explaining concepts through various perspectives to ensure their understanding. I also think that my approach to teaching mathematics with real life examples, silly analogies and challenging questions deeply engage students.
Most important things I can do for a student 🏅
As a tutor, I believe that the most important thing to do for a student is to find a way to explain concepts until it is finally able to "click" with students. Every individual has different experiences and skill levels, especially in a subject like mathematics. Thus, sometimes it is important to approach the same concept from different perspectives until students can find an explanation that works for them. This might mean spending more time however, I believe that a deep understanding will hold them in good stead and equip them with confidence to face whatever maths problems that lies ahead
