What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁
I enjoy helping people. I love seeing people thrive and eventually achieve their goals. I enjoy allowing students to express themselves and learn in a helpful, non-judgemental and relaxing environmentMy Strengths as Tutor 💪
I am good at explaining concepts in different ways to allow students to learn easier. I am a good listener and I understand the difficulties of school. I required tutoring throughout year 11 and 12 but it helped me to achieve the grades I needed to get into law.Most important things I can do for a student 🏅
The most important thing is to be there for the student. Sometimes being unable to understand a subject is really demotivating and can be frustrating. I have been in those shoes and having someone to sit with and spend the time to teach in multiple different ways is very importantTestimonials 🏆

I also just want to note that last nights session with Jaz was amazing. We did a physical exercise (with her not sitting down the whole session), trying to help her visualise numbers and tables better. I could see the cogs in her head clicking when I asked her questions and she was able to verbalise her thinking a lot better than when we sit and work. It was amazing to see. She is a bright lil kid and it was great to see her understanding grow and having those 'ohhhhh' moments when something finally clicked in her head.
