Tuition/Teaching Experience
New at teaching actual students, but I've always had fun teaching my friends particular topics that I was stronger in from my schooling days. I've been described as cheerful and patient, traits which I find are important especially in teaching, as every person absorbs subject matter better if they are having fun, or at least learning without a heavy heart!

Commitment / Other Details
I am able to start immediately. I have exams near the end of October but I am able to work out a schedule!

I have a few family trips in in early November and December but they are less than five days each and are relatively short.

In January, I start school again but my classes are from 12-3pm as of now so I will be able to maintain any tuition jobs that I have currently running.

As a Good Tutor
I think the basic qualities of a good tutor is to be able to make a subject interesting, if a tutor is able to do that, the rate of which a student can absorb the material will greatly increase. It's proven that when students learn more when they are mentally stimulated.

Patience is also important for certain students who require more time to learn or memorize certain formulas, and knowing that every student takes different times to learn the same material is vital when you are a tutor.

Also, to be friendly and warming will generally make any conversation, for education purposes or otherwise, much more entertaining and engaging.
