What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁
My favorite part about tutoring is that my students can really accelerate their learning, unlocking math roadblocks that help them to understand math and learn to believe in themselves and their abilities. It's very rewarding and fulfilling!My Strengths as Tutor 💪
With 10+ years of experience teaching math, I can help students understand math by exposing them to various ways of learning concepts, including hands-on and pictorial methods. I always try to make things fun by playing games and bringing my sense of humor into my sessions.Most important things I can do for a student 🏅
Besides the obvious of helping them to understand key concepts that they are struggling with (after all, seeing their progress is what truly makes a difference in the end!), I try to introduce them to the essential ideas of the Growth Mindset movement. I have seen so much open up for students that learn to believe in themselves and that they CAN learn hard things with effort. This shift in their mindset makes the tutoring more than just about learning mathematics- it empowers them to take on hard things in other areas of their lives and pursue their dreams!Tutoring students in 👦 👧
