What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁

I enjoy tutoring because I am given the opportunity to help children achieve their best and inspire them on a personal and academic level. I have tutored students with no confidence to begin with and by the end of the academic year they have achieved several grades higher and progressed onto apprenticeships and to university level. I enjoy tutoring because I am helping them to achieve something they want and the journey is much more important than the destination. It excites me to see how energetic a student becomes as soon as they understand a topic they have struggled with.

My Strengths as Tutor 💪

I believe as a tutor I adapt each lesson to the ability of the student. If one student has a particular weakness in a subject then adapting the lesson is essential for allowing the student to progress. I also think that by making the lessons fun and interactive students begin to enjoy difficult subjects and topics. I also think an important strength when tutoring is patience. Particularly as not all students understand the first time, I am able to explain topics in several ways so that students can learn through different methods and explanations.

Most important things I can do for a student 🏅

Confidence. I believe from past experience that once a child has gained some confidence in a particular subject then learning becomes more fun and interesting. I’ve tutored students who’ve had some difficulty with Maths for example and then after having lessons started to enjoy the subject and learn better in classes. So, I think that the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is give the student confidence in their own abilities.
