Preparing for US standardized tests can be daunting, especially for students who didn't grow up with the American system or who have been out of school for many years. My approach is to use past test questions and other materials to change the way you think about standardized tests. My goal is not just to teach you English and Math,...

I believe that the most important virtue in a tutor is the ability to empathise with a student's cognitive position. When teaching I guide a student through the mental steps needed to accomplish the goal of the lesson. I typically spend much of a lesson in dialogue with the student. I break this up with exercises to embed and reinforce key...

My approach to teaching is very much student led. I focus on understanding the strengths and areas of comfort of the tutee and use those to help the student overcome learning challenges. A number of times, I find real-life scenarios help put the topic in perspective. The stop and review tool is used sometimes to facilitate active learning as it allows...

As someone who struggled at school, I understand first hand where some of these struggles may come from. Therefore, I prefer to take the non-authoritarian approach to my tutoring and like to be seen as more of a support system and friend. I am always striving to find new ways of helping students overcome any obstacles that may be stopping...

One of the main reasons I decided to join private tutoring is I find the experience of teaching very rewarding. As a student who received some tutoring in the past, I realise the importance of the tutor’s approach as well as the student’s attitude. My aim is to make sure my student has no queries or doubts at the end...

A lot of people tend to overlook the importance of the sciences and mathematics in the real world, and often have the impression that beyond their exams their application to their everyday life is completely irrelevant. I strongly disagree with this, as science and mathematics are around everywhere. I find it extremely pleasing to be able to observe an object...

I treat my students with respect and listen to their needs and concerns. I like to create a plan of action together, with clear time-based goals based on what the student wants to achieve. I am friendly and approachable and want my students to feel reassured and happy through our sessions....

I am hugely passionate about learning and so I will always try to establish a thirst for the subject at the start of the tutorial. This is especially so for areas in which you might be struggling. We’re all familiar with that feeling of despair when something is proving tricky and it’s important to take an open and positive approach....

My tutoring style varies depending on the student’s preferences and their individual strengths and weaknesses. Lots of my lessons focus on one manageable topic and try to really grasp the concepts, and also include fun facts and setting the topic in a wider concept, both of which can make learning more interesting. I always pair learning with practising answering exam...

As each child is different, initially it is important to detect their learning style, which approach best suits them and plan accordingly. It is vitally important to get to know the child and make them comfortable in your presence, because no matter how well resourced or efficient you are as a tutor if the child does not take to you...
