What do I enjoy most about tutoring? ๐
The best part about tutoring is seeing something click for a student that has been struggling. Seeing students reason through some complicated problem with the mental models I've helped them build is extremely rewarding to me.
My Strengths as Tutor ๐ช
Because of my higher study in physics and engineering, I am able to explain where topics fit into a larger context. I've found this helps students click to the "why" of a topic instead of just simply the specific short-term details.
I am also extremely experienced with generating learning resources on the fly: I often make written resources, graphs and diagrams digitally during my sessions, and formalize these into study guides that students refer back to. This visual element is a huge help to some students who respond to that style of learning.
Most important things I can do for a student ๐
The most valuable thing you can provide a student is a high level intuitive understanding of a topic. Once someone has this, the details become easier to understand, as they fit in as a part of a bigger picture instead of details to me wrote memorized.
