What do I enjoy most about tutoring? ๐
The thing I enjoy most about tutoring is "re-learning" content that I've been rusty on since I graduated from high school. When preparing teaching material, I enjoy the part after I finish covering content for myself, because it means that I will be able to teach my students properly.My Strengths as Tutor ๐ช
My strength as a tutor is how I communicate concepts. I think the concept is the most important thing to teach a student because it serves as the foundation of their learning in a particular topic. I make sure that the student knows their concepts, making it easier for them to learn down the road.Most important things I can do for a student ๐
The most important thing a tutor can do for their student is to let them learn on their own. I think the best tutors know how to balance their student's learning pace by guiding them only when they have to. This helps the student learn on their own, and, as a result, learn more efficiently.Subjects Tutored ๐
