What do I enjoy most about tutoring? π
What I enjoy most about tutoring is watching students grasp unfamiliar concepts. Seeing the visible shift from confusion to clarity is highly rewarding and reminds me of the joy in helping others learn.My Strengths as Tutor πͺ
I've recognised subjects like math and science go beyond memorising formulas, but require deep theoretical knowledge. Because of this, I believe my greatest strength lies in my ability to break down difficult theory into clear ideas via analogies, diagrams and step-by-step reasoning. I'm also a patient tutor who is willing to explain things from different angles until the student is comfortable and confident.Most important things I can do for a student π
I think the most important thing tutors can do is create an environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and making mistakes. Too often, students stay quiet out of fear or embarrassment, so it's essential for tutors to slow down and check for genuine understanding, rather than rushing through material. Tutors also shouldn't just teach content, but how to study, and apply ideas in the context of an exam. This becomes especially relevant in senior years.Subjects Tutored π
