What is your specialty as a tutor? What topic, problem, subject, or process do you most enjoy helping students to learn?

I have been studying English for over 6 years. I understand the challenge of learning second language.  I can make a comfortable environment where students can speak in second language. I never force students to study. I would like to enjoy language learning with students and grow up together. Also, I guide student with examples and questions to make students discover approach independently.

Which of the CLASS 5 Keys – Respect, Inclusion, Growth, Support, and Pizzazz - resonates with you the most and how do you put it into practice in your work as a tutor?

The key that resonates with me the most is respect. I believe that tutors should not be a boss. I want to study and confront problems with students. Also, I would like to know students' opinions and share them to improve my perspectives.
