What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁
My passion for tutoring is inspired by the satisfaction which stems from finally seeing a student grasp a difficult concept, and seeing that spark of curiosity to learn more about it, owing to an engaging learning experience. That joy of being a catalyst in providing such a positive learning opportunity would be the most enjoyable aspect of tutoring for me.My Strengths as Tutor 💪
I believe I could be a keen listener and personally having faced several challenges and having overcome them as a student myself over the years, I could be patient with the students and adapt to their learning styles, as deemed fit, to keep up a student's morale which ultimately defines their ability to succeed.Most important things I can do for a student 🏅
I think Empathy should be at the forefront of a tutor's principles in teaching. Being able to empathise with a student's needs and struggles, enables a tutor to design specific learning strategies for a student and gradually build the student's confidence in themselves, and hence motivation and a desire to succeed. Supporting a student and structuring a modus operandi to help themselves allows them to grow in the long run, which is the ultimate goal of an educator.Tutoring students in 👦 👧
