I have always enjoyed interacting with children and strongly believe that interacting with younger students has taught me the importance of patience and understanding. Tutoring enables the expansion of an important skill set, such as, the ability to break explanations down into new perspectives when a pupil doesn’t at first understand. It is thrilling when that ‘lightbulb’ moment in a pupil’s eyes arises once the answer/solution clicks.
As a student, I achieved high grades and enjoyed sports although I would say my main strength has always been empathy and ability to connect with people. Interacting with both children and parents has always come naturally to me. During my time at secondary school, I was often chosen to tour prospective parents on Open Day and younger children would regularly approach me for guidance (both academic and otherwise). Moreover, in 2023 I was diagnosed with ADHD. At school I often found it difficult to study and didn’t know why it was so hard to simply sit down and concentrate. Having undiagnosed ADHD meant that I resorted to trying different learning methods and experimenting with a multitude of revision strategies to complete my studies. Despite having ADHD I managed to retain strong grades throughout my academic journey. The diagnosis simply enabled me to deepen my understanding of how to navigate my studies whilst having an attention deficit. The knowledge and patience I acquired on this journey I would be glad to share with tutees regardless of whether they have learning difficulties. |
