Why tutor:
You gain the opportunity to develop intellectually, psychologically, and personally. You express what you’ve mastered while rethinking the concepts and experiencing them through someone else’s point of view. You will build mutual understanding, and this will also help you in your own learning in lessons or with teachers. Through reorganizing concepts and contents, and adjusting your own viewpoint, you will improve your own study habits, and your own independent learning skills. On top of that, you will develop maturity and self-confidence, and build observation and communication skills that will help you for the rest of your life!
