What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁
I enjoy tutoring the most because I love making people understand what I understand. To be specific, I like Science and maths, and the way they work is so fascinating to me. I like tutoring because it helps me share this passion and excitement I have, to make them understand how the world evolved using the foundations of maths and science is always so fun and rewarding, especially the moment when a concept clicks for a student, the 'oh!' moment is a satisfaction. Sharing my knowledge and learning new things is something I'll always sign up for, even for free.My Strengths as Tutor 💪
My strengths as a tutor are: I believe I'm great at giving relevant real-life analogies to the topic I'm teaching. This process simplifies understanding not just for me but also for my student while also making it exciting for them. I also believe I'm good at being organised, which helps me plan lessons according to the students' needs and pace.Most important things I can do for a student 🏅
The most important thing a tutor can do is to make learning fun and not tiring or boring. The subject taught or the way it's taught should always be exciting, even if the test marks are not that high yet. Once the student finds their interest in the subject, I'm sure they will climb back up and succeed in no time.Subjects Tutored 🎓
