What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁
Although I haven't had the chance to formally tutor any students, from past experience in high school where I was able to help create and participate in a peer mentoring/tutoring program, being able to connect with my students and foster a love for learning was what encouraged me to continue tutoring. Watching students become increasingly more confident with the content they are learning and thus developing a passion for the subject was truly the most rewarding experience I could have asked for.My Strengths as Tutor 💪
As someone who understands deeply the significant and profound impact a tutor can have on one's passion and interest in learning, I believe that my ability to nurture such a love for the content I am teaching is my greatest strength. Although of course seeing the fruition of a students' hard work extremely rewarding, I think one of my strengths when it comes to tutoring is removing the strict focus on tangible improvement and instead looking at ways to make learning engaging and something that they will want to put time and effort into. It is only then that they can truly achieve success.Most important things I can do for a student 🏅
I believe that one of the most fundamental tenets of education is the ability to recognise the different support systems and forms of motivation students require to excel both academically and holistically and thus catering lessons to best suit those needs. Additionally, creating an environment in which students can express their concerns and freely discuss the specific struggles they are facing without fear of judgement or disappointment is something I strive to achieve and is one of the most impactful things one can offer a student.Tutoring students in 👦 👧
