What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁

What I find most enjoyable about tutoring is seeing the increase in confidence in students once they start to understand concepts that they previously found intimidating. I find it especially rewarding to break down complex ideas into simpler concepts and watch as things "click" for them. I enjoy building a supportive learning environment where students feel comfortable asking questions without being scared or embarrassed. Having tutored students in challenging circumstances, I know how powerful patience and encouragement can be.

My Strengths as Tutor 💪

My biggest strength as a tutor is the ability to cater to a student's individual needs. This is evidenced by my time tutoring children suffering from terminal illness at AIN Society. I recognize that teaching does not just entail academics. Tutors must also be compassionate, flexible, and adapt to a student's physical and emotional capacities. I can easily adapt a lesson to suit any individual student and still encourage them to learn. I do not enforce a rigid structure but rather meet students in the middle to create a supportive learning environment.

Most important things I can do for a student 🏅

I believe the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is build up their confidence while teaching them concepts. A tutor should not be harsh and instil fear in students in order for them to learn a concept. I have learnt from my time tutoring as well as being a peer mentor in my uni society that students learn best when they feel encouraged and supported. Beyond explaining content, tutors should help students develop problem-solving skills and independent thinking so they can succeed on their own.
