What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁
I really love working with children! I enjoy teaching them and helping them, I've been tutoring my sister for years.My Strengths as Tutor 💪
- Patience - Good understanding of subject matter - Multilingual (English, German, Afrikaans)Most important things I can do for a student 🏅
Listening to their questions, as many children are too scared to ask questions in class, and I hope to provide them a safe space for this. I also think it's important to be flexible, to work with what the kids need. Especially with younger children, who may not necessarily know what exactly they're struggling with.Subjects Tutored 🎓
