I specialize in the power of communication. My skills are: Patience; I have the ability to remain calm and respectful at all times. This is because I have advanced knowledge in a subject and need to help someone with little-to-no knowledge. By staying calm, I can not only ensure that the session runs smoothly, but I can also help ymy students practice self-patience to conquer challenging subjects. Positivity; I can make the difference between a motivated student and an unmotivated student. As a tutor, I always give my students praise, emphasize their strong points and encourage them to challenge themselves. Empathy; Some people naturally enjoy learning while others could enjoy learning more if they had the right person to help them. That is why it is so crucial for me to show compassion towards my students who struggle with learning and retaining information. I remain dedicated to my students while also empowering themselves to continue learning. Confidentiality; It is another essential skill. As part of a tutoring agreement, I am not allowed to mention the names or other personal information about my students to those without authorization. This means not talking about students with other tutors or those outside of the program. Technical knowledge; It is one's level of understanding about a subject or procedure; an appropriate level of technical expertise to help my students master and advance in a particular subject or skill area. Active listening; Active listening is the process by which someone demonstrates their attention toward the speaker by taking notes, maintaining eye contact, nodding and interjecting dialogue when appropriate. Tutors should display active listening when a student voices their concerns or has a question. This not only helps the student feel heard and valued, but it also helps the tutor determine the best way to help them. Communication; It means to have excellent verbal communication skills to help my students understand complex ideas. However, written communication is also important as I might have to contact my students by email or write comprehensive notes for them to use in the future. Leadership; Having excellent leadership skills allows me to guide my students and keep them on task. Problem-solving; Ability to identify a problem and create solutions, contributes to a beneficial tutoring experience for students. This is because I regularly help my students problem-solve and reach new skill levels in a subject. I am always able to identify what is holding students back from fully understanding a subject, before starting to provide solutions. Time management; Means being able to manage my time productively, I always make sure tutoring sessions don't go overtime. Additionally, staying on task ensures I can cover everything my student wanted to accomplish during the session.
