What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁
Helping student make progress and feel proud of themselves. When they finally 'get it' or learn a concept they struggled with in the first place, they feel accomplished and being part of that is really special.My Strengths as Tutor 💪
Patience, knowledge/skills, techniques, improvising and quickly thinking of another way to explain, model or show that will finally make sense to them, use of concrete materials and manipulatives, experience with neurodivergent/special needs students, resilience.Most important things I can do for a student 🏅
Help them feel accomplished, proud of themselves and overcome their difficulties by finally learning/understanding a concept or skill. Help them feel better about themselves and hopefully convince them that a bad grade does not define them. Restoring their faith/belief on themselves and maybe even start enjoying a topic they used to dislike or struggle with in the past. Show that their best effort always pays off. Build a bond based on trust and hard work.Subjects Tutored 🎓
