What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁
What I enjoy most about tutoring is seeing students change how they feel about maths. The most rewarding moment for me was when parents told me their child used to hate maths, but started to enjoy it because they liked my lessons and felt more confident. That’s when I feel my teaching really makes a difference.My Strengths as Tutor 💪
I think one of my strengths is having a strong academic background, which helps me explain concepts clearly. I achieved A* in Maths and Further Maths in A-levels, and I currently have a WAM above 80 at UNSW. I also have quite a lot of tutoring experience. I started as a volunteer in maths help sessions in Year 11, and continued tutoring part-time after starting university, so I’m comfortable working with different students. Lastly, I’m quite outgoing and approachable, which makes it easier for students to ask questions and feel relaxed during lessons.Most important things I can do for a student 🏅
I think the most important thing a tutor can do is understand each student’s needs and adjust the lessons accordingly. I also think clear communication with parents is important. Regular feedback helps everyone stay aligned and makes sure the student is getting the most effective support.Tutoring students in 👦 👧
