James Small

The experience I have in tutoring is quite limited as I have only helped friends and classmates if they need it. However, from doing this, I have developed the necessary skills to be a tutor.

Throughout school, I have always received high marks in maths. In the summer and autumn exams, I achieved an A* for numeracy and an A* in maths. As maths is a passion of mine, I have decided to continue my study of it in additional maths this year and I have decided to continue maths at A-level next year.

I am hard-working and always passionate about what I’m doing, always putting in my best effort. As well as this, I am a great communicator who, when faced with a problem, can effectively overcome it. I also have great teamwork and leadership skills as a result of this.

During my lessons, I will do my best to fit as much in as little time possible. If a student has any questions, I will answer them to my best knowledge, and if I can’t answer their question, I will put in the time to research and obtain information on the topic in order to answer their question well. Along with this, each lesson will be tailored to the specific need of the student; not one lesson will be the same. I will work with their strengths and weaknesses in order to give them the help they deserve.

The content I will be able to teach will be anything from the basics up to GCSE, and before lessons, I will spend time preparing and refreshing myself on the specific topic the student needs help with. Before the lesson, we can determine what topics should be covered, and if I am ever unsure on the topics, I will spend ample time learning or revising the topics in order to teach them as best as possible.

I will also spend time before or within the lessons learning about the student to find out how they learn best and how I can teach them to my best ability. If you have any questions or enquiries, please feel free to contact me, and I will always reply as soon as I can.

Many thanks, James.
