Why are tutorials important and beneficial?
Tutorial's aid students in thinking through a problem rather than just waiting for someone to give you the answer. When you stand at the whiteboard and explain what is confusing you, your classmates and tutors ask guiding questions that help you unlock the solution yourself, which drastically improves your critical thinking skills and test performance. This process also builds incredible public speaking confidence and reinforces a tight-knit, supportive family bond where it is entirely safe to admit you need help.
