How do you bring creativity into your tutoring/teaching? Please provide an example.
I would bring creativity into my tutoring/ teaching by being present with children’s ideas to approach a concept into a way that would suit them. I would also use multiple strategies, models, and methods to approach a challenging concept so the child recognizes that they can try multiple strategies to understand. For example, when learning English there are different ways to structure an essay that suit different people such as T.E.E.L or S.E.A.L that can help an essay become clearer and more concise.
