What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁

The moment when someone who has really struggled with a concept finally gets it, and their face lights up. Watching students go from being anxious and avoidant about subjects to becoming confident and excited.

My Strengths as Tutor 💪

An ability to empathise with students, and an ability to break down complicated ideas and concepts into specific learnable skillsets. Especially in english and economics, which can be very conceptual, giving students a strong grounding in the foundational skills of a subject can allow them to take leadership over the learning process and begin to tackle new problems autonomously.

Most important things I can do for a student 🏅

The most important thing a tutor can do with a student is give them confidence in their abilities and a growth mindset. Teaching students material is important, but spoonfeeding them leads to boredom, dissatisfaction, and poor results when tests ask complicated questions. By listening, offering encouragement, and being careful about when to intervene, tutors can help students learn to learn on their own.
