What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁
I love it when students grasp a new topic and regain their confidence. Students who are having difficulty are not as dreadful as they believe; they simply lack the necessary information and do not know where to go for it. This difficulty can easily be rectified by relearning the principles and modifying their methods of thinking about the subject. I appreciate teaching complex topics to students in a straightforward manner devoid of technical jargon, and I want to demonstrate to them that they, too, are capable of receiving high grades.My Strengths as Tutor 💪
I believe that my capacity to empathise with students who are falling behind in their studies will make me particularly effective in this situation. Even though I have an honours degree in chemistry and physics, I constantly practise math and want to comprehend physics at a higher level. I have a lot of patience with students and would rather encourage them to achieve their best than make them feel inadequate.Most important things I can do for a student 🏅
I believe that a tutor should be extremely cautious in what they say; can everything be supported with a logical statement? Because the steps the tutors take to construct the answer are how the students learn from them, a tutor must prepare well and be confident and knowledgeable of what they are giving to the students. It's not about providing students answers to problems or forcing them to memorise anything; conversely, it's about teaching them how to learn and come up with solutions on their own.Subjects Tutored 🎓
