In contrast to lecturing to large groups of students, private tutoring has the great advantage of being much more flexible, adapting each next step to the specific needs of the student in a dynamic way.

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...
When it comes to exam preparation, practice makes perfect, so I place particular emphasis on going over past papers and thinking about what kind of questions could come up in the exam. For languages, it’s all about confidence and enjoyment, so I really try and help the student realise that languages are a gateway into a whole different culture, and that...
Making complex topics accessible to all ability ranges inspires me to teach. I always endeavour to explain concepts in the most uncomplicated manner possible, in ways that resonate with students.

I will find out with which method(s) the student can work best with. A one-to-one tuition is a great way to work this out and then use...
I consider myself a very encouraging teacher who loves motivating students in and outside the classroom. Having studied psychology has also made me more aware of any difficulties that a learner has to face as well as the importance of the teacher as a supporting figure. Therefore, I have a good sense of humour, which is essential when you work...
I help my students reach their goals by having a clear understanding of their needs and expectations and building a constructive and trusting relationship. I make sure that along the learning journey, students become increasingly confident and independent. I do whatever it takes to prepare them for exams and apply sound examination techniques. At the same time, my own enthusiasm...
