STUDENT TESTIMONIES Rather than telling you myself why I'd make a great tutor, I'll leave this part to my former students. Here’s feedback from a recent university student experience survey. From 45 student responses, I received an average rating of 4.8 out of 5 across all 15 different categories. I’d be more than happy to share this report with you if you’d like. Students also wrote:
- "Alyssa is the kindest tutor ever, I feel so comfortable being in her class!"
- "I like how clearly my tutor explains topics and how she makes it interesting to learn about."
- "Love how Alyssa is alway cheerful with her big smile."
- "She always encouraged us to answer the questions, and also listened to our responses carefully. I really appreciated that she always answered my questions and was so patient."
- "Alyssa made the tutorials very interactive and fun while also making sure we learnt our content well."
