What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁
I like explaining Maths to students and seeing the light go on in their eyes when they start to understand. I enjoy using creative ways to help them to understand Maths. For example I use their interests or everyday life to teach them, such as sharing a pizza or buying things they love. I enjoy recognizing when the complexity of the equation needs breaking down into smaller steps. For example they may not have understood BEDMAS or BODMAS and therefore are not able to solve an equation. I will go back and explain that. I enjoy Maths and I enjoy helping students reach their goals.My Strengths as Tutor 💪
