What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁
I really enjoy seeing the people I have tutored exceed in their studies and learn to enjoy the topic at hand.My Strengths as Tutor 💪
I am patient. I never lose my cool when someone is struggling to understand a concept. Instead, I get creative with explaining problems in a way that caters to their interests.Most important things I can do for a student 🏅
Play to their strengths and interests, and encourage their effort and engagement with studies - not their marks. Something I have learnt studying Psychology is that students enjoy their studies and improve more when their efforts are praised rather than their grades. Playing to their interests means being able to link what they're learning to what they already know and like. This requires patience and creativity.Tutoring students in 👦 👧
