What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁
The thing I enjoy most about tutoring is seeing genuine growth in students and knowing that I had some role to play in that because it is really fulfilling. I've worked with students on placement and have worked with family/family friends and seeing smiles on faces when activities get done is an awesome sight to see which makes me passionate and motivated to help more students.My Strengths as Tutor 💪
I think one of my strengths as a person but especially a tutor is the ability to be able to explain things in Layman's terms. At university, there are many lecturers and tutors who don't understand the importance of this skill and I can see that it disconnects not only me but the others in the class. I generally speak in ways that people can understand the message or lesson that I'm trying to get across and I have found that this really helps when I'm helping students in class or at home.Most important things I can do for a student 🏅
I consider the most important thing a tutor can offer a student is comfortability. Not only regarding the subject they are tutoring but also comfortability in speaking to a "person in power" and asking the "dumb questions". As a current university student, I encounter lots of peers who ask me questions that they are afraid to ask the coordinator due to fear of sounding stupid. I believe it is vital that a tutor establishes themselves as one that understands why these "dumb" questions are asked invites any questions about misunderstandings, no matter how obvious they may seem to the student.

I hope for David's sake that the surds topic ends soon. It is important, sure, but repetitive and frankly a little boring to him I feel. Which is more than understandable.
Ben and I are both confident going into his exam in a couple weeks time. His practice exam will show a lot.

Sometimes I think that time (in an exam) could be a problem for Ben in the future as he sometimes can take a bit of time to find the correct path. More importantly however, he does find that correct path.
This was a fun lesson, Ben seems to be in high spirits both generally and with his math which is a great sign.

Ben can sometimes be unsure of how to start his quadratic solving which can provide problems but once he has started he is fine.
Ben has made a lot of headway on his assignment which is just awesome to see, it probably helps that the assignment seems somewhat enjoyable.

Ben probably wasn't as on top of the quadratics stuff than I'd like him to be, but that's probably because he is focused on his assignment and other subjects which is more than understandable.
