What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁
I have always enjoyed the Aha moments that I have had when concepts just click and suddenly they make sense. To see that in another person is what I most enjoy about tutoring.My Strengths as Tutor 💪
I am patient while dealing with concepts. Rather than pouring out the material to the student, I try to simply nudge the student in the right direction so that they can explore the concept in their own way. I think this approach has many benefits - the student is less inclined towards seeing learning as a boring chore, the student stands a good chance at understanding the material on intuitive terms, etc. I also do not get easily frustrated or angry.Most important things I can do for a student 🏅
In my personal opinion, the most important thing any kind of teacher can do for their student, is help them discover an expression of self in the subject. One may think this is quite impossible in the more technically oriented subjects, but I find that every branch of learning holds the potential for an expression of self.Subjects Tutored 🎓
