I realised at an earlier age, during my sporting career, that I had a real talent for interacting with and motivating my peers through many rich experiences gained by teaching swimming to younger members in my club for over four years. From this, I firmly believe in the vital importance of motivating the pupil and raising his or her self-confidence. I achieve this through āpep-talksā before, during and after classes, paying close attention to and being sensitive towards how the pupil reacts to new levels of pressure and simplifying dilemmas when it is obvious the tutee is struggling. Only when a child or young person believes in themselves will they reach their full potential. These are principles I always treat with respect and importance when tutoring. So far, I have had great success with these techniques and wish to continue down this path.
