Verified Tutor
What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁
I'm really there to support my students in reaching those breakthrough, epiphany moments. To me, being able to cultivate a genuine love for learning and seeing those I'm responsible for flourish as a result is the reason I'm pursuing tutoring professionally.My Strengths as Tutor 💪
My greatest strength shine through in my ability to simplify and break down difficult learning material into their basic parts, and then approach that material in different ways (eg. I could introduce hyperbolic functions from an analytic or geometric approach, depending on the strengths of the student) that at a fundamental and intuitive level to build solid understanding.Most important things I can do for a student 🏅
From my experience working with my friends' younger siblings, I strongly believe the most important thing is to engage with students with genuine empathy and respect. I want my students to develop the confidence to overcome their weaknesses and strive for excellence both in and out of the classroom.Tutoring students in 👦 👧
