Advert description
From the start I like to establish a clear plan that both myself and the tutee can stick to ensuring that together we can achieve academic success. Within this plan we identify any academic obstacles a student might be facing (e.g. knowledge gaps or lack of motivation to study) and begin devising ways to overcome them.
In my lessons I put a strong emphasis on helping students hone their study skills rather than just acquiring more knowledge, making sure that a student knows how to study and revise for exams such that they can transfer these skills to other subjects and areas of life. Moreover, I curate lessons that are interactive and often incorporate student interests (e.g. football or music) into the material to keep students engaged.
When preparing for approaching exams I guide my students through exam material, making sure they can comfortably do past papers and understand both how to do them and mark them such that they maximise retention of exam material when revising. Furthermore, I provide lots of homework designed to reinforce and develop the skills we work on in lesson, varying the amount set based on a student’s speed and capacity to complete work as well as the closeness of their final exams.
