My tutoring style is rooted in clarity, precision, and exam-focused preparation, shaped by my own achievement of three A* grades in A-level Maths, Physics, and Chemistry. Having gone through the process myself, I understand not only the subject content but also exactly what examiners are looking for, and I aim to pass on this insight to every student I teach. I place a strong emphasis on teaching in alignment with the mock and exam schemes, ensuring that my students are not just learning the material, but mastering the specific skills and structures that will earn them top marks. A key strength of my approach is the ability to break down even the most complex problems into simple, manageable steps, which makes challenging concepts far more approachable and less intimidating. I focus on building strong exam technique by guiding students through the best way to tackle different types of questions, highlighting common pitfalls, and showing how to present answers with clarity and precision. This equips students with the tools to maximize their marks under timed conditions. I also tailor my lessons to the individual, identifying areas of weakness and targeting them with practice and explanation until they become strengths. My goal is always to build both confidence and understanding, so students feel prepared not just to answer questions correctly, but to approach exams with a calm, methodical strategy. Ultimately, my tutoring style is about creating a clear pathway from knowledge to exam success.
