Katie Lord

My lessons are friendly, relaxed and tailored to each student’s individual needs. I like to start by finding out what the student feels they are struggling with and then focus the lesson around those areas. Depending on the student, lessons can include explaining key topics, working through practice questions together, completing homework or preparing for upcoming exams.

I aim to make lessons interactive rather than simply talking through content, giving students plenty of opportunities to ask questions and practise what they have learnt.

How My Sessions Work:
Set-up
· Our sessions will take place online using Google Meet.
· I will connect and screen-share my iPad and use Notability to work through questions and explanations with you.
· I will send you the Google Meet link 24 hours before each session.
· I will be ready and waiting on the call approximately 5 minutes before the session starts.

How Sessions Will Run
Check in and discuss your goals for the session. For example preparing for an upcoming test or working on a topic you don't feel confident with.
Agree on a plan for the session so that we both know what we are going to cover.
Go over any practice questions from the previous session and discuss anything you found difficult.
Work through our chosen topic, where I will explain the key ideas and model example questions.
Practise together, gradually moving towards you completing questions independently.
Review what we have covered and identify anything that may need more practice.
Plan what you would like to look at next session and discuss any practice questions or homework to complete before then.

I may set a small amount of practice after each session to help consolidate what we have covered.
