What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁
What I enjoy most about tutoring is the deep sense of connection and impact I get to have on a student's journey. There's a feeling of true accomplishment when I see a student go from feeling lost or overwhelmed to feeling confident and empowered. It's not just about helping them understand a concept it's about showing them they're capable of overcoming their challenges. Those moments when they light up with understanding or proudly share their progress are the moments that make it worth it. It's more than just academic success; it's about helping them realise they are fully capable.
My Strengths as Tutor 💪
One of my strengths as a tutor is my ability to connect with students on a personal level. I'm good at making them feel comfortable, so they're not afraid to ask questions or admit when something isn't clicking. I'm also patient and willing to explain things multiple ways until something resonates with them. I don't just focus on the right answer. I want them to really understand the process and feel confident in their abilities. I also try to be flexible with my approach, adjusting based on how the student learns best. Ultimately, I want them to feel supported and motivated.
Most important things I can do for a student 🏅
The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to create a supportive environment where they feel comfortable and confident meaning being patient and approachable, so they're not afraid to ask questions or make mistakes. A good tutor also helps students build a strong understanding of the material, not just by giving answers but by guiding them to think critically and independently. Encouraging a growth mindset and reminding them that struggle is part of learning is crucial, as is boosting their self-confidence.
