What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁

I thoroughly enjoy learning and teaching, thus it is truly a great experience to pass that knowledge onto another student and see them grasp the concepts well. As someone who truly enjoys mathematics, it was a great experience this year to aid the student through their difficulties to gain a newfound appreciation for the subject. It is rewarding to be able to guide a student to success and be able to see the improvement, no matter how small.

My Strengths as Tutor 💪

I possess strong listening skills to receive feedback about my lessons and tailor them specifically to the student to ensure that they are improving in a way that is beneficial and enjoyable for them. I am able to make lessons fun whilst still remaining on topic so that the student can associate what they are learning with an enjoyable experience. I am very punctual with both my attendance and my responses via email for questions thus exhibiting the support I offer to my students as well as a setting a good example.

Most important things I can do for a student 🏅

Firstly, patience is essential for a tutor to enable the student to ask as many questions as necessary and ask for guidance when they are unsure. Furthermore, as a tutor, I believe that I should not always give the answer straight away if the student is unsure but rather explain the concepts in a different way to allow the student to come to the conclusion themselves. This increases the likelihood that they will retain this understanding. Additionally, encouragement and positive reinforcement are key to supporting a student so that they can feel confident in their skills.
