Tutoring Experience

I have been tutoring for 3 years, offering a range of tuition from GCSE to A-Level and University admissions assessments in Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics.

Tutoring Approach

Before each session, I will ask for a list of topics that the student wants to be covered, this allows me to make my sessions flexible towards the students and gives me time to prepare appropriate material that will make the most out of the session.

You also have the opportunity to get to know me via a free meeting that can be arranged. I aim to improve my student’s confidence by probing their current understanding and filling in gaps in knowledge where required. I will move through at a pace that is suitable for the student, whilst encouraging them to exceed expectations.

At the end of each of my tutorials I will ask questions on the material covered, and will finish off by giving them a challenge question that I will discuss at the beginning of the next tutorial. Undoubtedly, problem solving is the most useful skill for tackling any subject. This is a hard skill to learn, but through giving students questions and encouraging them to defend their answers using their understanding of the subject, I hope to take them to a point where they can attempt puzzling questions without the need for guidance.

Everyone learns differently, and as a tutor I aim to help my students learn how to revise and what makes 'effective' revision. I have a wealth of resources and notes I used whilst preparing for my A-Levels that I can provide to students. Having been interviewed twice by Cambridge, I have the relevant experience to provide tuition for the STEP, NSAA and PAT exam.
