What do I enjoy most about tutoring? ๐
I enjoy talking with people about what I understand very well, and breaking down complex concepts with tried-and-true intuitive explanations into simple, easy-to-understand parts. I enjoy getting into my studentโs head and understanding how it is that they learn, how their brain works in viewing concepts and exercises. I enjoy sharing my study strategies, even though they wonโt work for everybody. I enjoy seeing the real progress that my students achieve over time.
My Strengths as Tutor ๐ช
Iโm friendly, calm, and approachable. I enjoy being prepared, for instance, I approach my friends and family in order to test my understanding through testing the clarity and conciseness of my explanations.
For maths subjects, I have done many practice exams in the past as a student and am currently still learning engineering maths and so I understand that itโs important to approach concepts from what students are already familiar with and build from there.
Most important things I can do for a student ๐
Having been tutored myself, I think the gold in being tutored comes from the connection with a peer who has recently gone through the experience of learning the content, who has completed the journey of studying that unit, and can be an accurate guide while still having similar perspectives. A tutor is somebody who also can motivate a student to learn at their best.
