Hello, As a second-year Physics student at Durham University, I know next to nothing about the fundamental workings of the universe. However, I do know plenty of the basics.

My lessons are as follows: I first create questions on a given topic, based off any spec. I prefer to make questions to teach specific concepts, rather than jumping between topics. I then check which ones the pupil already has a good understanding of: it's a bad use of time to put effort into these. For the difficult questions, I will explain the concepts behind them, demonstrate and explain the method, and then provide a new question to check if the pupil now has a better understanding. Pupils won't always understand things immediately, and I'm willing to explain things in different ways or start from simpler footing if required.
