I am a student studying BSc Economics at the University of Bath. Over the past three years I have been helping students with Maths, providing a friendly environment where students can work through difficult problems with my support. I aim to help solidify a student's understanding of all the major aspects of the exam specification, as well as providing insight into the best ways to structure revision and attempt past papers. Furthermore, as someone who is very familiar with exam anxiety, I aim to share my experiences in order to help students tackle the different scenarios that arise as a result of exam stress. Due to having worked with a number of students at various stages of their GCSE journey, I have an awareness of how to tailor lessons accordingly depending on person to person.
I structure lessons depending on what the student requires specifically at that time.
Usually I would ask for students to send any specific questions they want to ask about before the lesson, so we can go through them together without wasting any time once the lesson begins. If a student wishes to go over a topic, I aim to explain the concept and then work through a couple of different examples of exam questions with them before asking the student to make an attempt, making sure they ask for help at points they get stuck. I will also usually ask a student to complete a couple of topic-related questions during the week before the next lesson as consistent practice is a necessity in Maths.
I believe that exam stress is best managed through strategic and consistent preparation and that is what I aim to help my students with.
