Tutoring approach

“Tell me and I forget, teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn.” (Benjamin Franklin)
My teaching style is based around this motto. My sessions are as interactive as possible, explaining complex ideas in inspiring and interesting ways, making it simple to understand. I believe in setting a good base on which to build upon and then tackling exam questions and focusing on exam technique. Nothing is easy and I do expect the child to work hard in order to understand certain aspects, at the same time I am not stern.
Something I certainly found extremely confidence-building was learning beyond the restrictions of the course guide so that I walked into the exam hall relaxed, knowing that I had excess knowledge, and that the examiners could throw any question at me. It will also help the child’s understanding if they do intend to carry on the subject.
Of course I would not pile on too much information if the child does feel he/she is struggling, and would work at a pace they feel is comfortable.
Most important thing though, above all else, is to have fun and enjoy what you are learning.

 

Professional experience

During my A-levels, I was biology and maths prefect, so every week I would run drop-in clinics for year 10 pupils to help with areas they didn’t quite understand. Having had some very influential teachers throughout secondary school, I tried to emulate them when tutoring these boys. Since joining university, I have been tutoring three GCSE students in GCSE Maths and Sciences and take pride in watching them improve over the past few months, which have reflected in their in-class tests and past paper results. They felt very confident when it came to their GCSE's and feedback for me was high praise. I am fully aware of how beneficial a one-to-one session can be and look to bring the best out of the pupils.
