Online sessions via google meet, where I can use my iPad to screen share to live record my screen and show the student exactly what I’m doing at all times. This ensures there’s no information gaps between myself and the student. I have used this technique with my previous students and found it to be the most effective for maintaining clarity and engagement.

Content-wise I tend to first find out what they’re studying at school, and what direction they’re going in, and then work on from there. If they’re closer to exams, I would go through a past paper with them and identify which areas they’re weaker in, and then also ask them what areas they personally want to work on the most. If further away from exams, I would follow a similar learning structure as they’re in at school, revisiting previously taught topics in small amounts to maintain that knowledge.

I have tutored multiple GCSE students in the last couple of years, all of which have achieved grades higher than they ever expected, and helped to discover an enjoyment when studying maths. I highly encourage my students speaking up when they’re confused, as to catch any doubts sooner rather than later, which makes future learning much easier and far more stable.
