What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁
What I love most about tutoring is helping driven students succeed. Since I recently graduated high school, I know how stressful and important these years are. I remember fighting for my grades, just like they are now. It’s so rewarding to support them through the struggle and see them achieve their goals.
My Strengths as Tutor 💪
I feel my biggest strength as a tutor is being able to break down complex concepts and adapting to my students learning styles. I focus on deep understanding rather than memorisation, which helps students tackle all sorts of questions in an exam. I make sure they fully grasp each concept before moving forward.
My students have found this approach very helpful and have even started using it in all their subjects.
Most important things I can do for a student 🏅
The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is listen to their needs, and adapt lessons accordingly. Every students learns differently and struggle in different areas, so it is crucial that a tutor can adapt to them. Building their confidence and making learning engaging and managable is also very important.
