What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁

I'm someone who has always enjoyed learning, even as a child: I know that's a rare quality! Teaching, I see as the opposite side of the coin to learning: you can't have one without the other. As a teacher or tutor, I most enjoy when I'm able to instil the same enthusiasm for the subject/learning in general as I had when I was in the student's place.

My Strengths as Tutor πŸ’ͺ

I have a great deal of technical knowledge, and beside that, through my PhD and tutoring experience, I've also learned much about conveying that information in an understandable level, bringing it "to the student's level". I also pride myself on being a kind, patient and reasonable person who can adapt to any situation or personality type.

Most important things I can do for a student πŸ…

As I alluded to earlier, I think the student's enjoyment is extremely important. That's not to say that they should be having fun at the expense of gaining knowledge, much the contrary; I think the best way for a student to gain knowledge that will last beyond the next test or exam is to have it conveyed in such a way that they take a genuine interest in it, or a passion for it if possible. I think a tutor should always be encouraging a student, finding ways to connect with them and connect what is being taught with their own interest and learning style.

Xinyi enjoyed her lesson and felt she made a lot of progress. Xinyi said James could quickly identify what she didn't know even before she could understand where she was deficient. We are VERY HAPPY!
