Tutoring Approach

My approach to tutoring centers around one key goal: securing the highest possible grades for your student to unlock a world of opportunities post-qualification.

I firmly believe that students thrive when they feel comfortable and supported. Hence, I strive to foster a trusting and encouraging environment during our sessions. I have consistently received positive feedback for my friendly approach and maintain strong professional relationships with my students.

FAQ:

How will I start my tutoring journey?

To ensure a perfect fit for your student's needs, I offer a complimentary preliminary 30-minute session. This allows us to assess compatibility before committing to regular sessions.

What will a typical session look like?

A typical tutoring session ranges from 1-2 hours, which can be adjusted to accommodate the student's requirements. The usual structure includes a starter quiz, exam practice, thorough explanation of challenging concepts and misconceptions, exemplar A*/Grade 9 responses, and review quizzes.

Will additional work be set outside of sessions?

While homework / independent work is encouraged to be completed before each session for review, this aspect is negotiable.
