I prefer to use a more hands-on approach by focusing on teaching the simple theory of topics then moving swiftly onto practice questions. With past students I have received better feedback when we practice a few questions together step by step before moving onto individual work.
During the initial lesson we have, I like to really nail down what the student’s weaknesses are and in which topics specifically. It’s best to start with these so we can get ahead of the game.
As an A-Level and University student in Mathematics, I understand what it means to have a difficult teacher and also what it takes to be a good teacher in each subject. I found it to be the engagement process of a lesson which bad teachers struggle with compared to good teachers.
This means that I choose not to focus on bombarding them with textbooks and theory work which will only bore them and make them not want to work with me or the subject anymore. I’d rather choose to get to know my student better and see what approach works for them rather than what I prefer to do as I think the most important part of a good teacher is being engaging and understanding enough to tailor your way to each students.
For credentials, I achieved an A in A-Level maths and currently still study at university where I am at 89% grade for my semester. In this time, I have done many projects at school and university to keep my knowledge sharp including tutoring at a l small scale.
