What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁
I enjoy seeing a student improve and gain confidence with what they are doing. When they themselves start to see the progress they have made and are proud of themselves, it is a moment that is great to see in someones personal journey.My Strengths as Tutor 💪
I am a patient, approachable and organised individual making me a great tutor. I myself struggled with maths whilst I was in primary school and attended tutoring at this age. This then improved my skills and confidence, and in high school, Maths became my favourite subject and I went on to study some maths courses whilst at University. This allowed me to understand struggles that some students face and what makes a good tutor.Most important things I can do for a student 🏅
The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to increase their confidence, so that even if they are struggling with a concept/ problem they know that they can achieve a solution and that they have the skills to do so. It is important that the student feels that they can achieve their goals after you have stopped tutoring them.Subjects Tutored 🎓
