The point of tutoring is that it is the student’s time to learn. It is all about them, not anyone else on their course, or their ordinary tutors. The student needs to feel comfortable showing where their weak points are, and being honest about how much they can do to improve. I believe that it […]

My approach to tutoring is to let the student take control. Independent thought is the perfect method to learn- there are many ways to get to the right answer, and I believe that allowing a student to develop their own method is much more beneficial than forcing them to learn my method. Communication shall be […]

Although I believe that it is important to tailor my approach to the needs of every particular student, I like to use an interactive Cambridge-style method of tutoring. Instead of giving outright answers to my students, I pose questions in order to navigate them through the relevant issue to a logical conclusion. This way, my […]

Whilst tutoring I would pay particular attention to the needs of each student, and tailor their tutoring sessions to best meet their needs and wishes. My approach to tutoring emphasises clarity, flexibility, and an enthusiasm for learning, within an informal and relaxed yet structured and interactive environment.

I believe that with discussion and interaction even the most difficult areas of subjects become understandable. I approach private tuition by confronting the debates and flexibility of […]

I am a well-prepared tutor, and adopt a planned and practical approach to tutoring, with an ability to provide students with clear learning objectives, as well as assess and evaluate their progress. I can adapt to the student’s preferred learning style, and incorporate a range of interactive teaching strategies to promote student participation and independent […]

Three simple steps: (1) work with the student to understand where they are at, including an assessment of strengths and weaknesses; (2) together identify one or more goals; and (3) devise a plan of how to get there.  All the while not forgetting to have fun along the way!

What fascinates me about it, particularly when learning about case law, is to understand how legal rules are developed by looking at real-life situations and how they should be resolved in a just way. This human aspect of how law mirrors individuals’ […]
