Verified Tutor
What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁
I had a very difficult year 11/12 year due to external circumstances. I had a few teachers that took a specific liking to me, and assisted myself with what I needed to fix in order to get where I wanted to be. I believe it is also a privilege to be able to pass on knowledge to another and assist them get to where they need to be.My Strengths as Tutor 💪
I’ve grown up and worked with people from across the socio-economic spectrum, I think I have a particular ability to explain things in a way, which is specific to the individual. I think I also have the ability to relate and support the student regardless of their background or experiences.Most important things I can do for a student 🏅
I believe the three most important things I could do for a student is academic support, addressing study habits and confronting weaknesses. I believe focusing on these three aspects will do the upmost for the student in the short and long term.Subjects Tutored 🎓
