My lesson formats vary depending on the student, but will typically include going through any work set last time, discussion of concepts in some format, then going through example questions together. Between sessions, after discussion with the student, I may set some work to be done individually to continue building confidence and reinforce the skills learnt. Having tutored for three years, I have experience tutoring students who learn in a variety of ways, so the contents and precise format of this lesson plan may vary significantly. For example, some students may benefit from repetition of guided questions, but some may prefer methods like the creation of memorisation devices or similar. The main concepts needing refreshing may also vary, some students may need more of a focus on how to answer exam questions or how to learn and revise concepts, whereas some may need a greater focus on the concepts themselves.

My focus is on creating a collaborative dynamic with the student, building an environment in which they feel confident and are willing to both make mistakes and improve on them. As well as tutoring, I am a swimming teacher, so have experience building a rapport with individuals from a variety of backgrounds and of many ages, allowing me to rapidly build these relationships and assess how students best learn to accommodate this. Overall, I will work with the student to create an environment in which they can learn best, building confidence and their skillset to set them up for success.
