What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁
What I enjoy most is the 'aha' moment, that instant when a student finally gets something after a long session of working through it together. It never fails to make me smile.
I think that's why I'm drawn to tutoring in the first place: I've always loved puzzles and chess (I'm rated 1400 on Chess.com), and teaching feels like the same kind of challenge. Every student thinks differently, so the real puzzle is finding the right explanation that makes a concept click for them. That search for what finally works is what makes tutoring genuinely fun for me.
My Strengths as Tutor 💪
I was personally mentored by Adrian Tirtadjaja, founder of Lexus Indonesia, who built it into one of Indonesia's top luxury brands in a fiercely competitive market, largely through storytelling in sales. That's the biggest lesson he taught me: storytelling makes knowledge stick, long after the conversation ends.
I bring that into tutoring by wrapping difficult concepts in stories students actually remember. Combined with my ability to simplify complex ideas, storytelling is my biggest asset as a tutor
Most important things I can do for a student 🏅
Empathy. Teaching is fundamentally a transfer of knowledge, but that transfer only works if you first understand how the student thinks, where they're stuck, and what's making them anxious or disengaged. A good tutor adapts their explanation to the student's learning style rather than repeating the same approach that didn't work the first time. Without that understanding, you're just talking at someone, not teaching them.
