What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁
What I enjoy most about tutoring is learning new ways to look at a subject as knowing a subject and teaching a subject are very different. By teaching a subject, I am forced to think in ways I never would have if I did not have to teach it.My Strengths as Tutor 💪

The most important is to help and support the student in the targeted subject. A tutor should be able to identify areas where a student is struggling and help them to improve in these areas.Tutoring students in 👦 👧
