My approach to tutoring builds confidence into every student by showing them how the topics they learn translate into questions on an exam. I have a firm grasp of what is in the syllabus of every subject I teach and what the examiners are looking for in answers. I have found that revolving tutoring around exam papers leads to excellent results through combining a good understanding of the topic with a method to answering questions. My teaching style focusses on the core concepts of the subject, an application of this core knowledge to practical examples, and its subsequent association within exam questions
I very much enjoy seeing students grow in their competence as mathematicians and come to have a real enjoyment of the subject. Topics are worked through from start to finish (except perhaps for when they are simply being revised) with staggered examples and questions so that the progression from the fundamentals through to the most difficult aspects seems as fluid and effortless as possible. When the time is right, I’m more than happy to challenge the student a little in an attempt to progress them more rapidly, but I’m equally happy to revisit a topic as many times as is requested and necessary in order for it to be fully understood.
I work intensively with my tutees, and closely with their parents and where possible their school teachers in identifying and overcoming barriers in the understanding and application of challenging concepts thus building confidence towards ongoing learning in the classroom and ultimately achieving their full potential in the exams. I listen, I am supportive and strive to ena
With younger children, I channel their natural curiosity, relating maths and science in a way that is meaningful to them. by MAKING LEARNING THE FUN , helping them to discover the fundamental building blocks they need to underpin future studies.
With older students, my focus is more on exam paper technique and practice. I help them to quickly derive the correct formulae to use to solve unfamiliar problems which arise in examinations
My learners reach their full potential, get top exam results and receive dazzling reports with the extra support, knowledge, understanding, enthusiasm and confidence I provide!
