Katie Smith

I am a student myself so including relevant and current knowledge of a broad range of subjects, I also possess the proven ability to learn and not just memorise information which I would love to share with other students. I have myself practiced different revision strategies with proven success and aim to really support and engage students with their chosen subjects but through patience, trust and commitment build on confidence aiming to provide the structure to improve independence and passion for learning.

With copious amounts of experience with children and families I wholeheartedly believe I can offer a safe and nurturing environment where children don’t just succeed academically but thrive and discover the love for their subject choice as in my opinion that is just as important as knowing the material.

In the sessions I can provide activities and material to make it enjoyable but of course educational simultaneously. I would attempt to guide and encourage the students to think for themselves to develop independence but I would give help and explanations where needed. I have a lot of patience and understanding for children struggling with subjects and I am able to assist or even go back fully to basics. I aim to break the work down to make it simpler and go bit by bit to cover all the knowledge and further. I am also more than happy to experiment which learning methods benefit the student (which they can then apply for future courses as well) as I strongly believe every student is unique and learns differently.

Thank you.
