Tutoring Approach

Do you struggle sometimes to understand in a classroom setting? I am able to sit down with you and explain concepts that you may have failed to grasp during class. I can work through exercises with you that will develop your understanding and give you the confidence to face tests and exams knowing you have the ability to achieve a great pass mark. I have a deep and clear understanding of the new syllabus and can confidently work through any problems you may have with it. I would normally ask pupils to bring, to the first tutoring session, some work they have recently completed at school. I would also ask if there were any particular topics that he/she would like us to work on. This normally gives us a good starting point. I like to get to know my pupils' hobbies, interests and aspirations for the future. Knowing this often helps me to make my teaching more relevant. We can try to work on examples set in a context where the pupil is confident and familiar. I will always have work prepared for each session however the topic or example on which the pupil would like to work will always take priority. I feel it is important that the pupil leaves a session feeling that any particular difficulty has been resolved. During each session I will also try to revise previous work. Any difficulties encountered during this revision exercise may provide topics for study at future sessions. My lessons are tailored to each individuals needs and learning style. I deliver weekly reports to parents/guardians to keep you up to date with our progress as well as access to all the content and examples we work through.
