What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁
What I enjoy most about tutoring is seeing the student genuinely enjoy the class. It’s directly proportional—when my students are happy solving questions, understanding concepts, and applying the same strategies to similar problems, it really satisfies me. Knowing they’re engaged and learning makes me happy and gives me a sense of accomplishment.
My Strengths as Tutor 💪
One of my strengths as a tutor is that I always start by asking about the student's prior knowledge. This helps me understand what they already know and where they might need more support. Based on that, I adjust my teaching strategies to fit their needs. I believe this adaptability makes my lessons more effective and ensures that students learn in a way that works best for them.
Most important things I can do for a student 🏅
I believe the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to ensure that concepts are fully clear. When a student understands the topic well, they should feel confident in solving similar questions on their own. Building this confidence not only helps in academics but also encourages independent learning, which is essential for long-term success.
