Science tutor teaching students of all ages

The main thing to know about my style of lessons is that it will most definitely be as interactive as possible. I want the lesson to be more of a conversation where we bounce off each other rather than spoon-feeding information; what's the point when anyone can just go on a YouTube video and absorb info in that way? Learning is supposed to be like a construction site; the foundations are built first (the bigger picture), and then we can start adding the final touches (filling in the details, the knowledge gaps).

Via my online lessons, I will explain topics using a blank canvas on the laptop and draw a 'mind-map' of what it is we are discussing, and after that, I will basically 'test' via active recall methods, the content that has been learnt in that session, whether that may be through interactive MCQs, past paper questions, oral questions, etc.

My experience involves teaching Year 5 children science classes (where I achieved the CREST Silver Award), and generally I have been teaching students my whole life without even realising it! I often make 5-minute videos of me explaining topics in university (which are complex and contain lots of intricate details), to my friends and they have praised me about how incredible it is that I was able to convert really long-winded topics, into a 5 mintue timeframe that addressed all of their confusions and difficulties with that particular topic. This is a skill that I believe is not easy to get by, and I truly hope that I am fortunate enough to instil that within our lessons!

My personality is laid-back, down-to-earth, but also very committed in ensuring that, by the end of the lesson, you (or your child) manage to leave with at least one piece of valuable information engrained into your memory which you are able to put into effect at school or via exams. I look forward to teaching you!
