What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁
Assisting in a student's developing knowledge, just like with teaching in a classroom, primarily using relevant information and hobbies that each student has. An example of this was helping a struggling primary student that loved football and applying that to his mathematics; specifically multiplication and division.My Strengths as Tutor 💪
