What do I enjoy most about tutoring? π
Seeing a student's confidence grow as they begin to grasp something that initially felt out of reach. There is a unique satisfaction in watching a concept "click" for someone is incredibly rewarding. I also enjoy the individual focus that tutoring allows. Since each student learns differently, I find it fulfilling to adapt my explanations, break concepts down in a different way, or create examples that I otherwise wouldn't have thought of.
My Strengths as Tutor πͺ
One of my key strengths is my ability to break down complex ideas into simple concepts. This is because of my strong understanding of mathematics and science. Another strength is my patience and calm communication style. I understand that learning can be frustrating, and I aim to create a space where students can feel safe and unintimidated to ask questions. I also bring strong leadership and mentoring experience from serving as a Vice-Captain and as a scout leader. These roles have taught me how to guide younger students and how to adapt to all kinds of personalities and learning styles.
Most important things I can do for a student π
I believe that the most important thing a tutor can do is build a student's confidence in regards to the subject their teaching, not just their knowledge. When a student feels capable and supported, they are much more likely to take more of an interest in that subject outside of the classroom. Thus, they become more willing to take risks, ask questions, and push themselves academically.
