Description of tutoring experience
As a tutor, I provided academic support and childcare to children aged 4 to 7. Duties included homework assistance, learning activities, and customized educational materials. I also handled basic care tasks like diaper changes and grooming. I focused on fostering academic growth and school readiness, including speech assistance. Additionally, I provided aftercare support, offering guidance on projects and assignments. These experiences honed my interpersonal skills and deepened my understanding of child development, enabling me to offer comprehensive support..
