I am currently an undergraduate student at Loughborough University studying maths at university level, and I previously achieved grade 9 (A**) in GCSE maths and GCSE further maths. So, when tailoring a lesson structure for students I will consider learning methods that work best for them, as well as effective methods I highly recommend from my own personal experience. I aim to establish a comfortable environment in which students can freely communicate any doubts and queries they may have and express which topics they may struggle in. Additionally, I will utilise and can provide access to exclusive topic question compilations that mimic the real exam type questions, and I also use specific textbooks and workbooks that delve deeper and provide more coherent topic explanations than the usual textbooks and workbooks issued by schools. These specific books cover every possible type of exam question across the board specification, so homework and in session practice from these materials will be particularly useful in striving for improvement and top grades. When teaching a topic, I prefer to introduce the topic to my student using simple questions that clearly show the basic concept of the topic, then according to the current abilities of the student, I follow up with questions that become increasingly difficult. While doing so, I ensure to provide an in depth walk through of every question, breaking it down and helping students to familiarise themselves with the structure and nature of the questions. I encourage students to tackle questions that challenge their current mathematical ability and that making mistakes is a key part of learning. This is because, students are able to identify and understand their mistakes which is essential to help prevent such mistakes from being repeated. I offer sessions that can range from a duration of 1 to 2 hours according to the students’ and parents’ preferences.
