From the perspective of a past student who's worked with tutors. I've found the best environment to learn is one that feels inviting and open to questions. I hope I can build such an environment where students do not feel worried about asking questions or use me as a resource to aid their learning. Furthermore, I think it's paramount that a tutor…
One of the most important things a tutor can do is be patient and supportive. Different people learn different things in different ways, and at different rates. A tutor must cater for that, and not skip over important things that students have not yet understood. A tutor must use the method of explaining/teaching that students will understand. I…
Allowing students to become independent thinkers and restorning their self confidence is one of the most important things a tutor can do for a student. This means while you guide them in filling gaps in knowledge and breaking down difficult concepts, the tutor is able to build these fundamental skills in the student. In instilling these skills, I…
Be relatable and have patience with each student as everyone learns in their own way and pace. No one person will learn the same as another. As a trainer/tutor I cater to the needs of the individual. Whether they are visual learning or they need physical aids to help explain the concept. I always break down in common terms so that the individual…
I believe that a tutor needs to communicate with the student about their needs. I think that if the student and the tutor communicate well and both parties understand each other, then it will help the student tremendously. They will be willing to ask questions and participate during the lesson. I am an approachable person. I feel like my passion…
Truly personalise the learning. Incorporate connections to the student's interests. Teach to the student's strengths. I will be a good listener to better understand students’ misconceptions and errors. The patient is probably one of the most important characteristics of a tutor. I never act
annoyed that the student does not know something. Even…
Friendly nature comfortness and a good communication with the student so that they feel free to ask questions and guiding all the concept which are very difficult for them to understand in such a way that they love that subject. Being a tutor I am aware of my responsibility of how to teach a student in a basic and easy way so that they will…
Changing a student's attitude to enjoy the subject and want to learn more about the subject is definitely the most important thing a great tutor can do. A good attitude is key to succeeding in anything, not just school subjects. Strengths:
- I am passionate, love teaching and mentoring, and familiar with the subject
- I am very patient and I…
I think to act as a mentor is truly the most important thing a tutor can do for a student. Whether that manifests in the form of emotional support or providing advice regarding school, because I have been in their shoes before, I can pass on to them invaluable advice. My organisation, drive and determination to push my students and address their…
The most important things a tutor can do for a student is to make sure that the student feels comfortable and safe while being taught. This is so that they have an easier time learning the information rather than being constantly stressed out. I also think, as a tutor we should put in the effort to analyse in which type of learning the student…
Thanks for your email. Our decision to discontinue the tutoring was not due to any dissatisfaction - quite the opposite. My daughter only had a few sessions with her tutor, and in that time gained a huge amount of confidence in her abilities. The tutor was able to reassure her that she wasn't as bad at maths as she believed. This new-found confidence enabled my daughter to discuss openly with her teacher the difficulties she was having, and get some extra help at school. Since then, she has performed markedly better in her assignments and tests.
Natasha is an excellent tutor and I would highly recommend your company to anyone experiencing difficulty with Maths.
Thanks for the follow up and for all your help.
Douglas was great & Liam responded well with him - But the school have always had in house tutoring that Liam was uncomfortable attending - But with Douglas's input he now feels confident to go and take that path. As I pay School fees this makes more sense than another outlay on top. He is making great progress and all is well.
Just wanted to let you know that Mark seems like a good match for Nik. He really likes him and had a really successful first session.
Thanks for your support and assistance in finding him!
