Verified Tutor
What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁
What I enjoy most about tutoring is seeing students grow in confidence in their own abilities. The opportunity to make a meaningful impact on someone's learning journey makes not only me but the students have a sense of achievement and self assurance. Tutoring also allows me to foster a positive and engaging learning environment, which not only helps students succeed academically but also encourages a genuine interest in the subject.My Strengths as Tutor 💪
One of the key strengths as a tutor is the ability to adapt to individual students. Having multiple unique teaching styles, whether they thrive on visual aids, step-by-step explanations, or hands-on practice. Another strength is my ability to break down complex concepts into simple, understandable parts, not only making tutoring beneficial but achieving interest in the subject. I am also very sociable approachable person, winning an award 'social butterfly' during year 11, creating a supportive environment for students to diligently learn.Most important things I can do for a student 🏅
The most important things a tutor can do for a student are to build their confidence, assist students for high academics, while also creating a supportive learning environment. A tutor should also teach students individually at times and not simply providing answers. Ultimately, a tutor should aim to empower students to take ownership of their education and become diligent learners.Tutoring students in 👦 👧
