What do I enjoy most about tutoring? ๐
I enjoy teaching math as it has been my favourite subject since primary school and I feel a sense of pride and satisfaction when I successfully teach a concept to my previously confused students.My Strengths as Tutor ๐ช
My strength is that I am patient and understanding of students, which is important as students will make mistakes sometimes. Instead of lashing out at them, a better method would be to go through the steps again to refresh their memory and let them try the question again. Although math is my best subject, I understand that many find it challenging so I hope I can make them enjoy math more. Of course, there are times when I have to be strict, for example, homework submission. Another strength is that I can break down complex questions down into simple steps to make it easier to understand.Most important things I can do for a student ๐
I feel that the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to help them in any way they can, whether to build confidence in a topic, correct their careless mistakes, or practice exam questions with them. Every child learn differently so it is important to adapt to their needs so that they can learn more efficiently.Tutoring students in ๐ฆ ๐ง
