What do I enjoy most about tutoring?

I enjoy working with students and helping them understand information and concepts as it is extremely rewarding when they finally get what is happening. Being able to help them apply knowledge and make connections with their daily happenings is extremely gratifying as it will directly impact their lives and futures.

My Strengths as Tutor

Through attending boarding school, I have learned to become responsible and understand the ways to communicate with those of different ages and backgrounds while remaining patient and empathetic. Having taught in both Hong Kong and also the UK, I have also been able to observe different cultures and methods of teaching, allowing me to incorporate it into my own practices. I enjoy listening to students, giving them the freedom to express their thoughts without boundaries, and encouraging them to remain creative.

Most important things I can do for a student

It's important to keep students engaged and interested by guiding them through questions without revealing the answer so that they learn to problem solve on their own. I also strive to also make lessons fun to keep them curious and develop a passion for learning so that they continue to ask questions on their own.
