My teaching style

I have tutored throughout my education, including both one-on-one sessions and teaching larger groups. My tutoring style focuses on understanding the core material to learn how to work through questions and come to the correct answer, rather than just memorising facts. In this way, I hope to help my students develop key methods and skills that they can apply across any subject and into their future career. How I go about teaching the core material depends upon how the student prefers to learn and their current level of understanding, so I’m very flexible about how the sessions can be run. This can include preparing resources, such as flash cards, to working through simplified diagrams and practising exam technique, or we can simply talk through complex topics together.

I really understand how stressful exams can be, and how easy it is to become overwhelmed with the amount of content that has to be learned. As such, I am more than happy to help students with developing a study plan and how to manage their time, and give advice on revision and exam technique. By sharing my experiences, I hope to make learning an easier and as stress-free experience as I can. And, if possible, to make it fun!
