What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁
I have always enjoyed learning maths and physics, and as a tutor, I want to try to spread my passion for this subjects to students. The thing I enjoy the most about tutoring is being able to help someone else fully understand a concept, and allowing them to achieve their "aha moment". Not only is this helping a student build their confidence, but it also allows me to feel a sense of achievement.My Strengths as Tutor 💪
One of my main strengths as a tutor is my patience. One of my earliest career aspirations was to become a teacher, and although I did not end up following through with it, I still frequently helped my friends at school with questions and concepts that needed understanding. I have experience with patiently going step by step and breaking down problems and helping solve them from scratch. Another strength is that I am able to adjust my teaching to suit many different learning styles. Explaining questions in different ways is useful in teaching students of different learning backgrounds.Most important things I can do for a student 🏅
One of the most important things a tutor can do is creating a comfortable, friendly atmosphere to learn. I believe that first creating a connection with the students is important for them to feel at ease, and create the right space for learning. This can be achieved through speaking to them as equals, making jokes, and generally creating a friendly atmosphere that they can look forward to going back to every week. This is important to allow students to be completely comfortable with sharing in class, and to not be afraid of making mistakes.Subjects Tutored 🎓
