What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁
What I enjoy most about tutoring is the moment when a tricky idea finally clicks for a student. As a teacher, I truly love my job, and tutoring gives me another opportunity to support those who might need a little extra help or want to extend their learning even further. I enjoy breaking things down in simple, clear ways and creating a space where students feel confident, capable, and excited to learn. For me, the most rewarding part is seeing students growth both in their understanding and in their belief in themselves.My Strengths as Tutor 💪
I think my strengths as a tutor come from the wide range of experiences I’ve had working with children with disabilities and learning difficulties. These experiences have taught me to be patient, flexible, and creative in the way I teach. I’m able to quickly adjust my approach to suit each student’s needs, whether they need instructions broken down, extra time, or a different way of understanding a concept. I also bring a calm, supportive presence that helps students feel safe and confident, especially when they’re finding something challenging. Overall, my ability to connect with students.Most important things I can do for a student 🏅
I think the most important things a tutor can do for a student are to build confidence, provide clarity, and create a supportive learning environment. A great tutor helps a student believe in their ability to learn, breaks down tricky concepts so they feel manageable, and offers encouragement without judgment. It’s also important for a tutor to listen carefully, adapt their teaching style to suit each student’s needs, and celebrate progress big or small. Ultimately, the tutor’s role is to help students feel capable, valued, and motivated to keep growing.Tutoring students in 👦 👧
