I begin any tutoring with a clear translation of the syllabus to the student, presenting clearly the weighting of assessment criteria before evaluating and discussing how this might align with the student’s strengths, as well as addressing areas where they might be struggling or lack confidence. This stage involves the outline of goals, achievements, targets […]

We all have different methods of learning and varying understandings of what the best approach to private tutoring may be. To me, grasping the student’s wants and needs come first, in order to come up with a lesson that is not only educational and efficient, but engaging and exciting at the same time. I love […]

My goal with private teaching is to ensure my students are learning in the most enjoyable and inspiring way! My approach is different for every student as each student learns in their own way. Through my past experiences, I have the skills to work in a variety of ways, including: intense exam practice through solving […]

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 […]

The best way to learn, to keep up with your school or university work and to pass exams is to be constantly curious about your subject. Once you’ve reached a point where you can’t wait to learn more and you’re reading around your subject just because you want to, the rest comes naturally. It’s that […]

I encourage my students to think for themselves and to learn the study techniques that will help them do that. I aim to act as a mentor and buddy, reducing any feelings of stress and allowing the student to see their work as easily doable, even fun, when approached in the right way.

I believe that people are naturally curious, and that finding that curiosity is the best way to motivate my students. I listen to them and try to find their personal strengths and interests, and tailor my tutorials to play to those strengths and interests. Perhaps also worth mentioning is that I have dyspraxia, which was […]

My approach to tuition is always goal-oriented. It is very important to identify the target the my client wants to meet. This could be succeeding in a university interview, preparing for an exam, or wanting to go up a grade for GCSE or A Level. To be a successful student of academic music at any […]

I pride myself in being able to construct a program for clients according to their needs. I am friendly, approachable and combined a firm sense of purpose with a good sense of humour.

I try as much as possible to use real world examples and context in both Science and Maths to help pupils to engage with complex concepts. I often use creative tasks and modelling alongside exam question practice, to develop pupils’ retention of key topics. I always emphasise the benefits of good revision and exam techniques […]

In a tutorial, I aim to encourage the student to reach conclusions for themselves, by creating a comfortable and efficient learning environment. In my opinion, it is the quality of understanding that is of paramount importance, and enabling a student to draw their own conclusions allows them to retain, and better understand, a variety of […]

I believe in cultivating the student’s enjoyment of the subject in question alongside an intimate understanding of exam and essay-writing technique. In my tutorials, I strive to create a friendly atmosphere that is conducive to constructive learning, encouraging the student to think independently and critically about the issues that they encounter.

I am an enthusiastic teacher who is confident in teaching all ages. Every student is unique and therefore my approach for each student is different, depending on what they need help with the most. I explain things in the easiest form so my students can understand exactly what is required. I am prompt and organised […]

I love music and I love teaching music: it is my absolute passion. Teaching music consists of two halves: form and function. Form is the art and the emotional performance. Function is the academia and theory behind it, the building blocks of music. It is essential to have an excellent understanding of both sides of […]
