What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁
I enjoy the fact that I am able to help someone with their learning and move through their zone of proximal development. The trust they place on me makes me feel responsible to ensure they are learning well and the rapport built with students makes me happy.My Strengths as Tutor 💪
I think I am patient, hard working and sincere with my work. I always try going an extra mile to ensure children have grasped the concept well and always look at ways to improve my teaching. I love to include activities with teaching (whilst it is easier with younger kids) and research and read a lot about fun ways to teach lessons.Most important things I can do for a student 🏅
A tutor can help a student get more fluent, confident and clear about concepts and working. When they have someone who makes learning effective, fun and interactive it makes learning fun and worthwhile. I do believe in providing a lot of practice and exposure to many different ways of doing a problem and a tutor has to be that someone who guides and motivates them to the next level.Subjects Tutored 🎓
