Tutoring Experience

I have over 10 years experince in tutoring both in Australia and the UK. Both online and in-person. Mainly in Maths, Science, Marketing and TESOL.

Tutoring Approach

My approach to tutoring is centred around fostering an engaging, supportive, and personalised learning environment. I believe that every student has unique strengths and areas for improvement, and it is my role to identify and nurture these individual attributes. By understanding each student’s learning style, interests, and goals, I tailor my teaching methods to suit their specific needs.

I prioritise creating a positive and encouraging atmosphere where students feel comfortable asking questions and expressing difficulties. This open communication is crucial for building trust and ensuring that students are not afraid to seek help when needed. I also focus on developing critical thinking and problem-solving skills, which are essential for academic success and beyond.

Using a mix of interactive activities, real-world examples, and practical applications, I aim to make the learning experience both enjoyable and relevant. Regular feedback and progress assessments are integral to my approach, helping students stay on track and feel a sense of accomplishment.

Ultimately, my goal is to empower students to become independent learners, equipped with the confidence and skills to tackle any challenge. By fostering a love for learning and encouraging a growth mindset, I strive to make a lasting positive impact on their academic journey.
