I'm a student at Cambridge, who lives in London outside of term time. I believe in an integrative style of teaching, which focuses on making sure the student fully understands the topic, rather than regurgitating formulas that they were told to use, without knowing why.
I've been a tutor for a year, but I have had experience teaching younger children in school.
I am diagnosed with ASD and ADHD, so I understand how difficult it can be to find motivation to learn, especially if it's a subject you struggle with. I try to make sure the lessons are as engaging as possible, and if one way of teaching isn't interesting, I try to change my methods.
My lessons are between half an hour and an hour long, I can also teach for longer, on request. I have no issue overrunning slightly, because I do not enjoy leaving loose ends. I don't expect people to pay more if the lesson overruns.
Thank you so much for considering me to be your tutor.
