What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁
Being able to provide quality, specific, catered tutoring to students, and forming a base of study that allows students to not only revise and study well, but to allow students to independently study, allowing them to gain confidence, which creates a sense of satisfaction in my role.My Strengths as Tutor 💪
-Able to tutor a wide variety of subjects, up to and including HSC levels Maths (Maths Advanced), Biology and Ancient History -My method involves identifying key weaknesses, and forming tutoring around strengthening these weaknesses, but also teaching students further knowledge ahead of current knowledge, in order to build confidence.Most important things I can do for a student 🏅
Having achieved high academic outcomes in multiple subjects, I believe that the methods I employed to achieve these outcomes, allows me to solidify students exam preparation skills and how to find resources, but also the mindset to think about problems and confidence to approach unknown problems.Subjects Tutored 🎓
