What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁
What I enjoy most about tutoring is the opportunity to offer the kind of support and guidance I know can make a real difference. During university, I was involved in running workshops and often found myself helping fellow students understand complex ideas more clearly. Even in high school, I naturally stepped into that support role when classmates needed help. While I haven’t worked as a tutor in a formal sense, I understand how valuable it is to have someone patient and encouraging beside you and I genuinely enjoy being that person.My Strengths as Tutor 💪
One of my key strengths as a tutor is my ability to explain things in a clear and relatable way. From my experience running workshops at university and helping peers in high school, I’ve learned how to break down complex ideas and adjust the way I communicate depending on the student’s needs. I’m also very patient and genuinely empathetic, I know what it’s like to feel stuck or unsure, and I aim to create a space where students feel comfortable asking questions without fear of judgment. I’m also highly organised and reliable, which helps me stay consistent and supportive.Most important things I can do for a student 🏅
I think one of the most important things a tutor can do is create a safe and supportive space where the student feels comfortable asking questions and making mistakes. Learning can be intimidating, especially when someone is struggling, so it’s crucial that a tutor builds trust and encourages curiosity without judgment. When a student feels safe and respected, they’re more likely to engage, take risks, and grow in confidence. Beyond that, I believe it's also important to tailor explanations to the individual student’s needs and pace.Subjects Tutored 🎓
