Shanille Les

I am an approachable and patient tutor with experience working closely with secondary students, including those in lower bands who may need more time, guidance, and reinforcement to understand new concepts. I understand that every student learns differently, and I tailor my teaching style to match their pace, personality, and level of confidence. My goal is to create a safe, supportive environment where students feel comfortable asking questions, making mistakes, and celebrating their progress.

In my lessons, I focus on building strong foundations before moving into more challenging material. I break down topics into simple, easy-to-understand explanations and use practical examples to help students connect the lesson to real life. I always encourage active participation so students can strengthen their critical thinking skills rather than just memorise information.

I also pay close attention to each student’s strengths and weaknesses, creating personalised mini-goals to boost their motivation and track their improvement. I believe consistency, patience, and positive reinforcement are key to helping students grow academically and feel more confident in their abilities.

My teaching approach is structured but flexible: I adjust the lesson format depending on the student’s mood, energy, and learning style. Whether a student needs revision, exam preparation, homework support, or a full explanation of new concepts, I am committed to helping them improve at their own pace.

Overall, I aim not just to teach—but to help students actually enjoy learning and believe in themselves.
