Advert description
A big reason I want to teach comes from my own experience as a student. Growing up, I often felt that lessons were delivered in one fixed way, and if that way didn’t suit how your brain processed information, you were simply expected to keep up. I found that visual learning, modern examples, discussion and breaking ideas down into smaller stages helped me far more. That is the kind of tutor I want to be for someone else.
I think my fresher approach is actually a strength. I remember what it feels like to be the student who understands something only once it is explained differently. I want to be able to spot that quickly, adapt the lesson, and make even a dull or intimidating topic feel manageable and relevant. If one explanation doesn’t work, I’ll try another.
Ultimately, I want students to leave with more than just a better mark. I want them to build a system for learning that works for them personally, and that they can carry into future exams, university and whatever they choose to do next.
My academic and professional experiences have taught me how to take complex information, work out what really matters, and communicate it in a clear way. Through both legal and financial work, I have had to explain ideas carefully, and adapt how I communicate depending on the audience. I also hold a Grade 8 LAMDA Public Speaking Distinction, which has helped me develop the confidence and communication skills to support students not only in their written work, but also in expressing their ideas clearly and confidently.
