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 […]

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 […]

Private tuition make it possible to teach the student one-on-one, which is rare in a school setting, and valuable because no two students are the same. I take an individualised approach and tailor my teaching style depending on the needs and priorities of each student. In some cases, the main aim of private tuition is […]

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 […]

I believe in creating a personalised, engaging and supportive tutoring experience for tutees. It’s no secret that different students learn different ways and test best using different strategies. A huge part of understanding how a student thinks is to listen carefully. However, part of tutoring is showing students things about themselves that they might not […]

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 […]

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 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 […]

I try to have each student engage with their natural curiosity to discover new things. To my previous students and I this has proved to be the most powerful way to have everlasting changes.

My primary goals during tuition are to build a good rapport with my students and work towards enabling them to become better independent learners. I encourage active learning through conversation and tasks. In addition, I use visual aids such as powerpoint slides, study books and diagrams. I like to discuss individual learning styles and habits: […]
