Having completed 11 GCSES, achieving five 9s and no grade lower than a 7, I initially studied a year of the International Baccalaureate before deciding instead to do A-Levels in order to focus my studies more. I am now studying economics, maths and psychology (maths and economics being two subjects in which I got a grade 9 in at GCSE level).
When studying the International Baccalaureate, I worked as an Economics Prefect with students on a one-to-one basis every week. We went over content they were struggling with and then practiced exam-style questions and techniques. Furthermore, in my role as a German Prefect, I helped younger students during their GCSEs in both speaking and writing. These students found this very beneficial and my support helped boost their confidence, particularly with the speaking aspect.
I always aim to tailor my tutoring based on the individual strengths and weaknesses of my students. Therefore when I am working with a new student, I try to cover a general overview of the subject in our first few lessons and make notes of areas, whether content or exam technique, that the student seems less confident in. When I have gathered a few topics, I will search for resources that will specifically help the student and begin to tailor the lessons for their needs. I also always make sure to encourage them and tell them when they have completed a task particularly well or quickly to help their confidence.
