What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁
I enjoy a connection with the student and those lovely AH HA moments. It's important to work to the student's interests. I had one student who was preparing to train as a baker and I tried to find realia and texts that demonstrated required grammar in a pertinent way.
My Strengths as Tutor 💪
I continually check comprehension. I try different avenues to aid understanding. I will only progress levels of difficulty if I believe the student is ready to continue but obviously the pressures of curriculum might drive us onward.
Most important things I can do for a student 🏅
Listen. Support. Clarify. Seek expert advice if needed. Build confidence. Empower. If a student has requested (or their teaching team has seen fit to find) a tutor, then there must be some perceived need or reason to address.
