I prepare methodically for lessons, tailoring sessions to the individual needs and interests of pupils. As a recent graduate, I am able to empathise with students - I know what students are going through on a personal as well as academic level so am able to deal with any issues they have. Finally I break concepts and ideas...
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...
As an individual, I am enthusiastic, determined and a real āpeople personā. Having sat exams every year for the past 8 years, and continuing to do so I feel I am immersed in the challenges of modern academia and this will serve as a real advantage in my approach to my tutees. I think different approaches are required depending on...
My aim as a private tutor is to understand the needs of my students, to clearly define learning objectives and to design stimulating activities to help them reach these goals. I very much believe in the concept of active learning ā whereby students are encouraged to think and make new connections for themselves thanks to a variety of exercises and techniques....
Tutoring should be tailored to the needs of the student because all students are different. However, whilst my approach is flexible, there are 4 things which I always try to bring to my sessions. My approach is interactive ā it is vital to be engaging. It is thorough, to make sure nothing is covered in too little detail ā for...
As someone who appreciates both traditional and innovative pedagogical methods, I make a conscious effort to understand effective learning styles for my students that combine print and digital materials. Furthermore, as someone who develops games as a hobby, I am constantly discovering new and engaging ways for students to learn through gamification. I view standardised exams such as the SAT...
I like to get to know the student beforehand and identify areas of confidence and problem areas. I tailor-made each tuition session with a lesson plan where we review key themes and topics (especially confidence areas), and then work through examples for problem areas. That said, I prefer a conversational style of learning (which has worked best in my experience),...
My emphasis is on working with students to resolve their problems, in an age-appropriate and exciting way. I get to know what a student finds difficult, assess their current attainment and then break down topics in such a way that we can deal with one or two key issues per session. I then informally test this knowledge in later sessions. This...
In a 1-on-1 context, I feel it is vital to be approachable. Tutoring can be somewhat disarming for a tutee, so it is important to make their effort and thoughts feel valued. My primary aim is to build their confidence & passion for the subject, providing fertile ground for them to improve and excel....
I believe that a student reaching out for help is already a successful student. My role as a teacher is to boost the studentās confidence and help them consolidate their knowledge and understanding of a subject. Early in my French education, I sometimes lacked the support necessary to understand my subjects, and as a result, I disliked them. I want...
