لماذا الدروس الخصوصية؟
Over twenty years ago, I discovered the joys of tutoring/mentoring/governing believing the role is all about adapting to the aims desired by the tutee(s). I love both the challenge and the reward that comes with tutoring – seeing a student look at a text in a new light, develop the critical thinking skills that will help them in every facet of their life or seeing the pure delight on their faces when they achieve an outcome they initially felt out of reach, makes it a truly fulfilling career path.
شهادات
“Ron arrived at the University in September last year. We knew he had an interesting past and expected much. We were not to be disappointed. As a lecturer in English and Film, often his sessions attracted many students from other classes. Like a breathe of fresh air. He is attentive, forceful, funny, demanding the highest standards from his students and himself. Often his students smile as they leave after 100 minutes. With no break. He has given extra hours with his young people. And he gets better work from them than many others. More are industrious. He is the only foreign teacher to expect students to do hours of preparation for each class. His evaluations from them were very high. I hear nothing but good things.” – Li Dan, International Office of Anyang Institute of Technology, China
