I have been a tutor for about 2 years now, tutoring students in year 9 to year 13. As a student who recently sat the exams myself, I have the best methods and resources to help you improve your grades. My approach is I like to start with a completely free consultation, where I can gauge what level the student is at, what grades they are aiming to achieve and which topics they struggle on. Every student is different so my approach will differ accordingly. If a student struggles with a specific topic or has a particular topic test coming up, we will start by reviewing those topics. I like to give the student a more tricky question and see where they get stuck. I will then work through it and show the best method and any shortcuts that they can use to complete these types of questions more quickly in the future. For those students aiming to achieve top grades, I like to start by giving them an exam paper to complete and seeing which questions they either can't complete or don't complete in the most effective ways.
