As a first-year university student with a wealth of experience studying for exams and coursework throughout secondary school, I've developed effective methods to help others succeed. Having recently been in a similar situation myself, I understand academic challenges and how to overcome them.

My Approach:
When we begin, I'll start by walking you through some practice questions to assess your strengths and areas for improvement. This helps me identify where you might need the most support. From there, I’ll explain concepts in a way that makes them intuitive and clear, as I’ve found that much of the confusion in subjects like maths and physics comes from the language and terminology used. I’ll help you break down and visualize these terms, so you can develop a stronger, more intuitive understanding.

Once you’ve grasped the basic concepts, we’ll work through problems progressively, starting with simpler questions and gradually moving to more complex ones. The goal is for you to confidently tackle exam-level questions without assistance. By building up your problem-solving skills one topic at a time, you’ll develop the tools you need to handle unfamiliar questions when they appear on exams.

Everyone has different courses, goals, and timelines, which is why our first session will include creating a study plan that aligns with your deadlines and priorities. This personalized schedule will ensure we dedicate the right amount of time to each topic, maximizing your progress without overwhelming you.

I understand that everyone learns differently and my goal is to teach in a way that best suits your learning style, whether that means using visual aids, working through examples, or breaking down complex ideas into simple, relatable terms. I believe that learning should be a collaborative process, and I aim to create a supportive and relaxed environment where you feel comfortable asking questions and making mistakes—because that's part of the learning process.

I know how important it is to make learning enjoyable and engaging, not just effective. I hope to create a friendly, dynamic atmosphere where we work hard but also make the process enjoyable. I want our sessions to be as much about understanding the material as they are about building your confidence and problem-solving skills.

By taking this personalized and patient approach, I’m confident that together we can improve your understanding and help you succeed in your studies.
