What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁

As both a student who's gone through tutoring and someone who often assists peers and family with their studies, what I find most enjoyable about tutoring is the sigh of relief after finally understanding something difficult. While I also love applying the content I've learned in school in places other than an exam, my favourite part of teaching another person is seeing the moment things click into place. It is why I've considered teaching as a career path in the past.

My Strengths as Tutor 💪

I consider myself to be a very empathetic person which greatly assists me whenever I tutor others. I teach by attempting to view the content through their level of knowledge, then building on it until it reaches the level that they need to pass their quizzes, exams, or class. Another strength is my ability to recognise patterns within content; I like establishing guidelines for exam question types that tend to repeat. This allows me to answer questions correctly and more efficiently and I am more than happy to share these tips & tricks to students.

Most important things I can do for a student 🏅

In general, it is vital for tutors to provide support to students in a way that isn't already done in their classroom. This can be a number of things that vary between situations; focusing on exam techniques, fleshing out difficult parts of the subject, boosting morale by connecting through a personal experience with learning, providing memorisation tactics and study strategies, etc. A one-on-one tutor can benefit a student in many ways different to a classroom teacher.
