As an international school teacher, I have also embraced the rewarding world of tutoring beyond the classroom. My experience spans various grades and student types, each offering unique challenges and enriching experiences.
Elementary (Grades 3-5): With younger students, fostering a love for learning is paramount. I have tutored children in core subjects like English and Math, using games, storytelling, and hands-on activities to make lessons engaging. Seeing their "aha!" moments and improved confidence in tackling new concepts has been incredibly fulfilling.
Middle School (Grades 6-8): Navigating this transitional phase, students often grapple with self-awareness and academic pressures. I have supported them in subjects like Science and History, encouraging independent thinking and critical analysis through group discussions and project-based learning. Witnessing their blossoming curiosity and growing independent learning skills has been truly rewarding.
High School (Grades 9-12): Here, exam preparation and college applications take centre stage. I have guided students in subjects like Literature and Foreign Languages, emphasizing effective study habits, critical reading skills, and clear communication. Watching them overcome challenges, improve their grades, and confidently pursue their academic goals has been deeply gratifying.
Beyond Grades: My experience extends beyond traditional tutoring. I have also mentored older students (teachers doing their mentorship), providing guidance in research, writing, and career development. This experience has allowed me to connect with individuals beyond the typical classroom setting, share my knowledge in different contexts, and witness their personal and professional growth, which has been immensely humbling.
