What do I enjoy most about tutoring? ๐
I am very passionate about education, and love seeing my students grow to acheive their goals. It is very rewarding to see how my help can further someone's knowledge and skills, especially when they get an "ah-ha!" moment, get their desired mark, or simply are happy with their progress. I felt this when I taught sailing as well, as later during the camp week, the kids would get to sail on their own. It was incredible to see the students that knew nothing about sailing a few days ago be so independent.My Strengths as Tutor ๐ช
I believe that I am patient and good at explaining. I understand that things may very well not click the first time, as I have been in that position in the classroom, and will be very happy to look at a concept or proplem from many different angles and mindsets until my student and I find something that works. I also think that I am adaptable to different students and learning styles to support every individual they way they need.Most important things I can do for a student ๐
I think the most important thing a tutor can do is listen. It is very important to be tuned in to how your student is doing and how they feel about their work. If the work is way too hard or way too easy, not as much progress will be seen. To help the students as best as possible, you must understand their current level, what they want or need to acheive, and how they learn best. If you listen and keep a keen eye on the student, you can adapt what and how you teach to best suit them. Doing this, you may also find new strengths and weaknesses along the way.Subjects Tutored ๐
