What do I enjoy most about tutoring? π
I love seeing students succeed where they were previously struggling. Their joy when they finally achieve something that was previously unreachable is incomparable.My Strengths as Tutor πͺ
I work through the skills that are required to answer the question, such as analysing the question and structuring a coherent and easy to follow answer, not just the theory covered in the course. These skills can be applied to any subject but in particular maths and science.Most important things I can do for a student π
Support them to develop not only their knowledge but their confidence in their knowledge and themselves. Additionally, whilst the sessions are about learning the tutor should attempt to make the session, and learning, as enjoyable as possible, fostering a joy and love of learning that will expand beyond the tutoring sessions.Subjects Tutored π
