What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁
I truly enjoy the moment every connects in a student's mind. The "aha!" moment they experience once it all comes together is incredibly gratifying, both from my experience informally tutoring peers as well as from my experience as a student.My Strengths as Tutor 💪
I am very adaptable; capable of showing the student a multitude of methods and paths of thought until we reach one that suits them. I am able to break down concepts and map them such that I can quickly identify the misconception that is holding the student back, allowing me to remedy the misunderstanding and thus allowing the student to grasp the previously mentioned concept.Most important things I can do for a student 🏅
