What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁
While knowledge and retention are valuable, the process of creating genuine enjoyment in learning and the ability to develop self motivation in students is always an exciting prospect. It drove me to engage with my students in my swimming job, and allowed me to create an efficient dynamic in the class when I did religious education.My Strengths as Tutor 💪
I have a wholistic understanding of topics I am able to teach. A full and thorough understanding of a topic and all that it entails are vital to being able to communicate with a student in a way they will resonate with. I also have experience motivating children and young teenagers in achieving their goals.Most important things I can do for a student 🏅
The most important thing a tutor can give to a student is love for their subject and love for learning. Once a student has the love for their learning, they create their own motivation to work hard and drive their results.Testimonials 🏆
