What do I enjoy most about tutoring? đ
I enjoy seeing a student understand a subject after struggling and gaining the confidence to approach exams and assessments without additional help. It is very rewarding to hear and see a student succeed where they had previously struggled.My Strengths as Tutor đŞ
I am creative when it comes to different subjects. For math and sciences, my creativity allows me to explain the step-by-step processes in different ways that a student might understand better. For English, my creativity helps to better understand concepts through garnering interest. It can be easier to write and understand when the student is excited by the subject.Most important things I can do for a student đ
A tutor should be able to build confidence for a student in a subject that is not their strongest. By building this confidence, students can go into exams with a clear understanding of the subject. For the studentâs future, the confidence from succeeding in a subject can flow into other aspects of their lives, allowing them to help others.Subjects Tutored đ
