What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁

The most enjoyable part of teaching/tutoring is when a child who has been struggling with a concept 'gets it'. You can see their whole face and body change. Their confusion has been 'lifted' from their body. They are smiling, even laughing. The parents sometimes cry. All because I have spent the time to help the child overcome a difficulty.

My Strengths as Tutor 💪

I have had 29 years experience as a classroom teacher. During this time I have developed a repertoire of strengths that are essential in identifying the educational needs of a child, developing a suitable plan of teachings, on the go assessment of the child and adjusting the teachings along the way. My biggest strength is catering for each child's individual learning needs so as to ensure each child achieves their personal best and achieves at least one learning success each session, however big or small that success is.

Most important things I can do for a student 🏅

Provide a calm and supportive environment where learning is a partnership and where a strong relationship between tutor and learner is established. Having positive learning experiences are key to a child's success, along with making the learning fun and engaging.
