What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁
I like tutoring because I love the subject matter, and seek to impart my knowledge and interest to others. I enjoy helping students with their learning, and being a part of the process of improvement.My Strengths as Tutor 💪
As a high achiever who has earned degrees in several subject areas, I know what works in terms of study strategies. I have the ability to gauge where a student is 'at', and to explain concepts at the required level, and in various ways.Most important things I can do for a student 🏅
I believe it is just as important to be an encouraging and steady influence - building confidence and dispelling fears - as it is to impart knowledge and study skills. I pay attention to the factors that influence how a student learns best, and apply those to each individual circumstance.Testimonials 🏆
