Across all of the different subjects I teach, I always notice the same thing: the main difficulty that learners encounter is getting overwhelmed by what they're trying to learn. It could be that there seems to be simply too much material to cover; it could be that the concepts seem too difficult; it could be that the whole thing causes...
My approach to tuition is to encourage a deep understanding of the course content, instead of learning a list of facts or how to pass the exam. I do this by trying to explain how the concepts fit within previous knowledge, how it’s applied in the real world and why it’s important that we understand it. Every student learns differently,...
When teaching science and maths I stress the overlap and interconnectedness of the different disciplines. I find this helps abstract concepts to fall into perspective, makes everything less daunting when you realise that the same principles feature in so many different topics and ultimately stands the student in better stead when grappling with unfamiliar territory. My interest in the history...
I will first identify how you study best, whether it is visually, aurally, kinetically, or logically – because knowing that will allow me to customize our classes to suit you. For example, if you’re a kinetic learner, we will build models together. And if you’re an aural learner, then we’ll burst into a song every now and then (it’s shown...
Communication is an essential aspect of the learning process. To know both students' expectations and their approaches to learning are fundamental to support them for getting their goal. The first thing I do as a tutor is to talk with my students what aspects they want to improve or learn more about. Secondly, it is important to find out her/his...
In my tutor sessions the interaction of the student is extremely important. I aim to create a relaxed environment where students can ask questions and attempt answers without fear of embarrassment. During sessions I ask students questions to test depth of understanding and set written problems to apply knowledge. Since everyone learns differently I tailor my sessions to meet each...
I am a graduate of the University of Oxford, and am currently studying to become a doctor. I have tutored for many years and have a 100% success rate with Medical School entrance mentoring. I particularly enjoy working with young people and aiding them in their journey through school. My personal philosophy to tutoring is based on the observation that...
I strongly hold that before any progress can be made, the tutee must realise that they are not alone. Getting to know my tutees - what drives and inspires them when they are at their most relaxed - is integral to enabling them to become motivated learners. It is my role to be there to encourage each step of the...
My teaching style highly varies for the goals which are to be achieved, as well as each student’s style of learning. I focus on understanding a subject matter and making my students gain confidence in themselves when approaching a particular area which they are studying or trying to discover for the first time. Therefore, my tutoring session can be purely...
From my own experiences, I understand that school tuition can struggle to tap in to the different ways young people learn, which may mean that they do not reach their true potential. I adapt my teaching style depending on the individual tutee, and try and make the sessions as fun and interactive as possible. I encourage open discussion and focus...
