The SAT has a reputation for being “uncoachable”, but at Tavistock Tutors we wholeheartedly disagree. The SAT physics exam is designed to test your aptitude for the physical sciences and mathematics. It has strict time limits and challenging questions. Our tutors have all gone through exactly what you’re going through now; they passed with flying colours and so can you. In just one hour, students must answer 75 questions without a calculator on diverse topics ranging from magnetism and mechanics, to waves and thermodynamics.
Our tutors can give you the knowledge to achieve the top scores, while their handy tips will give you the confidence to ace your exam.
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...
“I am keen to discover each student’s creative potential: whether this is using a new art material or reflecting a fresh way to approach a mathematical problem, and open and exploratory manner to tuition, guided by a firm hand, is key to my approach.”...
My job as a tutor is to ensure that my students are understanding and engaging with material, and enjoying their learning! So often, schools are unable to provide an individualised approach to learning, as they are required to follow a strict curriculum to prepare for exams. I think that it’s really important that we work together to ensure that sessions...
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...
Tutoring is very much an interactive process and I see three steps in my tutoring method. 1. Explain difficult topics in textbooks and help my tutee with assigned work from school. Conceptual understanding is much more important than memorizing a particular method. 2. Deliver a custom-made course of the exam syllabus, offering much more clarity and depth compared to lessons at school....
Out of all of my years of tutoring students, there's one thing I can say for sure - no two students are the same. Within the first few sessions with my pupil, I aim to quickly assess skill and confidence levels and individual learning styles and to plan future lessons accordingly. Above all, I will aim to boost confidence and to...
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...
Often so much emphasis is placed on examinations, that students tackle questions in a pre-set format, without understanding the process behind what they are doing. This leads to students become disinterested and disheartened by what can appear to be impenetrable subjects. My goal is to make lessons enjoyable and effortless for students, and impart skills that will foster good learning habits...
My approach to tuition depends on your needs. I understand that some of you will be looking for tutoring to achieve a specific grade, and some of you will be looking for tutoring to support your overall understanding about a subject. Starting from our first session and throughout our sessions together, I will make sure that we build an engaging...
