What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁
Tutoring allows me to tailor my approach to each individual student which enables rapid growth and improvement in the goals of the student. It is an opportunity which is rare in a classroom setting, that enables a personable and individualistic approach.My Strengths as Tutor 💪
I consider myself a strong tutor due to my qualities of being patient, understanding and creative. Being able to use the students individual strengths to help them gain confidence and skills in other areas. I am passionate about my students and love being their cheerleader.Most important things I can do for a student 🏅
Helping understanding topics and key areas is important, however for me, giving students the confidence to approach new topics with a 'can-do' attitude helps them in wider areas of their life and increases their self belief. Unleashing the potential that they may not realise they have.Subjects Tutored 🎓
