Ask. Learn. Grow.

Rose Motete

Many students stay silent because they are afraid of sounding “slow” or “behind.” But the truth is simple:

If you don’t ask, you don’t learn.
  1. “Can you explain that again in a different way?”
    Learning styles differ. Clarity matters more than pride.

  2. “Can we practice this one more time?”
    Repetition builds mastery.

  3. “Why is this answer wrong?”
    Growth happens when you understand your mistakes.

  4. “How can I improve?”
    Feedback accelerates progress.

  5. “Can you give me a real-life example?”
    Application strengthens understanding.

  6. “What should I focus on before the test?”
    Smart learners prioritize.

Remember:
Your tutor is not there to judge you. They are there to guide you.

Silence keeps you stuck.
Questions move you forward.

Penny for your thoughts:
What question have you been afraid to ask?
