What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁

I enjoy helping students understand what they are learning. If they understand then they do not need to remember. I thrive in seeing students grow in confidence and do well on tests. I expect students to have a growth mindset and complete all homework on time. This means helping students be organised. Overall, I love "aha" moments and taking pride in my students achievements.

My Strengths as Tutor 💪

My strength as a tutor lies in my organisation and ability to set the bar high. Second to this, is my ability to relate to the students personal lives, e.g. if they do sport, and connect this with what they are learning about. Analogies help remember content and practice helps memorise skills and limit inaccuracies.

Most important things I can do for a student 🏅

The most important things i can are provide: - Organisation and structured approach to study - Analogies and metaphors for sometimes difficult concepts, e.g. in science and maths - Memory cues - Study and time saving skills, e.g. scanning text, focusing on the most important ideas - Ongoing motivation
