What do I enjoy most about tutoring? ๐
Although I haven't had much experience about tutoring, I really enjoy being able to help people as much as I can. This applies especially when I try to explain questions and content to my friends when they are stuck at something. I really enjoy simply making a difference to other people's lives.My Strengths as Tutor ๐ช
I think my strengths as a tutor would be my patience. When I explain something to people, I do not rush into helping, but rather slowly and carefully show each step of the problem ensuring they fully understand and learn about the topic. When I help my friends and they don't understand what I'm saying, I stay calm and not frustrated as to how they don't understand, but rather go in their shoes and ask myself why would they not understand.Most important things I can do for a student ๐
I consider the most important things a tutor can do towards a student is having a friendly relationship between them. I think this maximises the learning of the student where they are more willing to learn if they are more comfortable with the tutor. Another thing a tutor can do for a student is key preparation. This involves planning how the session goes before attending to avoid any mix ups and potential time wasted figuring about what to teach. Having good management and preparation would also make it clearer for the student to know what he is learning and how this helps him academically.Tutoring students in ๐ฆ ๐ง

Teaching Philosophy
