What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁
I enjoy seeing students gain confidence in their abilities and develop a deeper understanding of the subject matter. It's rewarding to break down topics into simpler concepts and witness the "aha" moments when students grasp something they previously found challenging. I also appreciate the opportunity to tailor my teaching approach to each student’s learning style, making the experience more engaging and effective.
My Strengths as Tutor 💪
One of my strengths as a tutor is my ability to explain concepts clearly and adapt my teaching style to suit different learners. I am patient and approachable, which helps create a supportive learning environment where students feel comfortable asking questions. Additionally, I have strong problem-solving skills, allowing me to identify where a student is struggling and adjust my approach accordingly. My background as a physiotherapy student has also trained me to communicate complex ideas in an easy-to-understand way.
Most important things I can do for a student 🏅
The most important things a tutor can do are to foster a positive learning environment, personalize their teaching approach, and encourage independent thinking. A tutor should not only provide answers but also equip students with the tools and strategies they need to problem-solve on their own
