What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁

Personally I enjoy being able to make change and help students achieve their personal goals. Although I do value the importance of improving student academic performance, I also strive for the student to become enthusiastic and engaged with their chosen subject.

My Strengths as Tutor 💪

Reflecting on the comments I have received while tutoring, my personal strength lay in explaining content in a simple 'easy to understand' manner. If a student is not able to understand the teacher’s explanation or my initial explanation, I am able to explain a content area in a number of alternative ways. After working through a number of examples, I like to get the student to solve a problem without assistance. This demonstrates they have fully understood the content and my explanations.

Most important things I can do for a student 🏅

The most important thing that a tutor can provide for a student is support and motivation. When a student is struggling, they have low self-efficacy and motivation to engage with the subject. What is important is to use this knowledge to provide tutoring in a way that is relaxed and engaging. In addition the tutor should always value and strive to achieve the students’ academic goals.
