Verified Tutor
What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁
From providing support to small student groups/giving subject specific study advice, I've really enjoyed the contrast to the competitive nature of VCE. Quite frankly, I hated the way that sacs pitched us against each other, so it was nice to be able to support others for a change. Through tutoring students I can have their back in the same way.My Strengths as Tutor 💪
I'm reliable and diligent, and willing to put effort into providing help/finding answers in my own time. My ability to be clear and articulate helps with explaining concepts.Most important things I can do for a student 🏅
I was never a fan of the uncertainty of exams/tests, in not knowing if I would achieve the grade I wanted. As a tutor, having confidence in my students is vital in boosting their own self-confidence.Tutoring students in 👦 👧
