I believe every student learns differently, and it is essential for a tutor to understand the child’s mindset, personality, and learning style before anything else. This helps me tailor each lesson so that it is clear, engaging, and suited to how the student best understands information. I make sure to build a comfortable, trusting bond where students feel confident to ask questions and express when they find something difficult. In the past, I have used a range of teaching techniques including breaking down complex topics into simple steps, using real-life examples, interactive questioning, visual learning tools, and short recap activities to reinforce understanding. I also provide mini-quizzes, personalised feedback, and homework support to help students build confidence and track progress over time.

I also maintain a balanced approach to discipline. I believe in setting clear expectations, creating structure, and encouraging good study habits while still being patient, respectful, and supportive. This helps students stay focused, motivated, and responsible, which ultimately leads to better results and personal growth.
