My Approach to Tutoring
I take a highly professional attitude to tuition. The early steps include gaining an understanding of a pupils existing strengths and weaknesses as well as building a strong relationship with the student. Based upon areas identified for work, I can help to structure a study timetable and plan lessons that will plug gaps in knowledge.
I know the content and curriculum well for all major exam boards including pre-tests, GCSE or iGCSE as well as Edexcel, AQA, OCR, CIE, WJEC for A-Level. Due to this, I am able to structure lessons to exhaustively cover examination content as well as maximize time spent covering areas which are worth the most marks.
I believe that exam technique and confidence are particularly important to help students to fulfill their potential in the short time frame of exams. By allowing students to practice in realistic conditions, it reduces the stress and risk associated with final exams or interviews.
