What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁
I love spreading my love and appreciation for learning. It is evident that excitement towards school and academic success reinforce one another in a positive feedback loop. Hence, it is extra rewarding to see students become more motivated and value their progress when they understand what they are doing and the important real-world implications. These practices cultivate strength and confidence, guiding students to find their passions; they are key factors for academic proficiency.
My Strengths as Tutor 💪
I am a very patient person and a perceptive listener. I appreciate vague questions from students as they allow me to infer knowledge gaps and provide complete explanations with the context that aids understanding of how details fit into the big picture. I communicate with clarity and concision, while always doing my best to put myself on the same level as a student to make them feel comfortable asking questions. I cater my explanations to be most effective for the individual. I also love organising content to flow in a coherent manner where information builds on fundamentals.
Most important things I can do for a student 🏅
A tutor is there both to teach content and to improve a student's study habits. Seeking advice from teachers, peers, and my past tutor, I have developed helpful study skills and I recognise inefficient habits.
I have gained an appreciation for tuning study practices to the individual for optimal results. Learning to work with my ADHD has taught me to dedicate energy to finding study techniques that I work well with, and I would love to help students find what is most efficient for themselves.
Most importantly, a great tutor supports a student's confidence, and in turn eagerness to learn.
