What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁
Definitely being able to watch students learn and slowly understand concepts they struggle with, in real time. Another part is being able to act as a mentor and being able to trouble-shoot strategies for understanding these concepts.My Strengths as Tutor 💪
I like to think that I am patient and am able to convey my ideas clearly and effectively. Furthermore, I am able to listen attentively and work with the strengths and weaknesses of those that I am tutoring.Most important things I can do for a student 🏅
I think the most important things revolve around helping the student learn and grasp things they find difficult, without necessarily processing information for them. I think doing this, while being able to be flexible regarding the students' needs and their own strategies is really important.Subjects Tutored 🎓
