A typical lesson with me:

- Quick chat with the student to establish trust and a positive working dynamic!
- Recap of the last lesson... let's see how much you remember after a busy week! Our brains our muscles we need to constantly train, so we have to keep coming back to older concepts.
- Introducing our topic we will be focused on - why is it important and why should we care?
- Let's go over the main bulk of the content. I take care to not ramble on, and check in with the student to make sure we are on the same page! I keep the floor open to be asked questions or for clarity. Learning is communication!
- Quick questions to check understanding! This can also be a time in the lesson to practice exam questions, or make clear what content must be known for exams.
- Wrapping up the lesson - what did they learn? Did they understand and enjoy the content? Do they feel more confident than an hour ago?
- I will also ask if they would like me to structure the session any differently. Every learner is different, and it is important to adapt to that.

I have 2 years of tutoring experience, and am confident that my approach increases motivation and passion of the subject. Do not hesitate to send me any questions!
