What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁
I have always loved collaboration; with my friends, with mentors, and with younger people I can help. For example, in my time as college captain, we worked closely with younger cohorts to deliver engaging workshops on how to improve recognition of gender inequality in male dominated environments. I grew up with tutors in my house for myself and my brothers, and they were always such kind people who became life mentors as well as academic mentors. What I love about tutoring is now I can be that person and that role model.My Strengths as Tutor 💪
Whilst I was always a keen mathematics student, interpreting texts and creating fluent essay responses or creative pieces within English has always been my area. This means, while I would be more than happy to help tutor maths, I feel as though my help within humanity and writing-based subjects such ans English and History would be truly the most effective, especially given the prominence of people who are happy to tutor maths.Most important things I can do for a student 🏅
I believe the most powerful way a tutor can aid a student is by giving them confidence. More than often, students can show more vulnerability in a one-on-one session than in a classroom surrounded by their peers, and so the best thing I can do is use these private sessions to impart confidence in the students by making them see ways they can succeed. I think a natural result of this is a bond and friendship, which can give the student things to look forward to and someone to look up to.Subjects Tutored 🎓

Obviously there are still some gaps but that's so natural with a brand new topic.
Great progress, pretty much able to answer all questions correctly with limited help.

N/A, really quite happy with how she is going. Sometimes she gets distracted but she doesn't mind when I steer her back on track!
