How I tutor

The students that I have helped have experienced success far beyond their expectations as evidenced by their results.  Many have gained grades 9, 8 and 7 when they were only predicted to gain 5. The same success has been achieved with my A level students.  This is my approach to tutoring.

First Meeting

• I meet the student to assess where the student may need the most significant assistance after listening carefully to their concerns. I endeavour to ascertain their learning style and areas of struggle in the initial meeting.

•  I then provide a taster session to give them an idea of how I teach. 

Ongoing Tutoring

• I cover exactly the syllabus course material during the tutoring session so that they are exam-ready. 

• I explain scientific concepts and test them throughout to see how much they have understood.  

• I provide a stress-free, quiet environment to enable students who have struggled to gain confidence and catch up. For more able students, I will enable them to reach higher goals and achieve better grades.

Assessment Methods for Exam Success

• I thoroughly practice exam questions with students so that they are well-prepared for their exams. My guidance encourages confidence and establishes exam expertise.  I teach them valuable exam techniques that can make a signficant difference to their overal grades.

• I use quizzes prepared by myself, which the students really enjoy. Not only are they receiving exam question practise in a fun way but I can instantly see if they have grasped scientific concepts and provide necessary feedback and assistance.

• I provide revision resources such as Google Classroom where they can learn independently.

My Teaching Style

I am told that I am warm, calm, and patient and explain things very well.
