Tutors in Maida Vale

Geoff

I have a very friendly manner for teaching my students. As a father of five teenage and twenty something daughters I know what is needed to foster success in education. I find that encouragement can help build confidence that is so often absent in very capable students. Finding this avenue to foster achievement is what I do best when tutoring. I...

Interaction, debate and discussion. Law and the other subjects I teach, are by their very nature, contentious. It is essential to understand the debates inherent in the subject. 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 perspectives in subjects, allowing students...

Confidence and inquisitiveness are to my mind crucial in the learning process. Building confidence and inspiring inquisitiveness thus lie at the centre of all my teaching. I work with tutees to help them develop the skills needed to acquire and deploy knowledge in a given subject, as well as to know how to resolve an aspect of a subject which...

I am passionate about teaching, because I think that passing on knowledge is always incredibly fulfilling. When I teach, I know that I can help others understand concepts that I have mastered. One of my most satisfactory teaching experiences and one that illustrates my approach to tutoring is when I helped my younger cousin improve her English language performance and...

I like to keep my lessons as fun and informal as possible. One of the reasons a home tutor can have such a great impact is simply the fact that they are not a recognised authority figure like a parent or teacher and can relate to the pupil on a different level. Thanks to my background in stand-up comedy I...

Building a strong working relationship and trust between the tutor and student is very important, and being easily approachable is a vital characteristic a tutor should have. Some students may have just lost their inspiration to learn and so it is the tutor's job to motivate and inspire them. An important role for a tutor is to build a students...

I aim to tailor my classes to the needs of each student, as everyone has different strengths, weaknesses and ways of going about their study. I seek to provide an encouraging and enjoyable space to learn and discuss the key topics in ways that are easily memorable. I am happy using both the students’ textbooks and recommending alternative...

I believe in structured yet dynamic and interactive learning, where patience and perseverance are key. Expect from me long-lasting understanding. Knowledge tends to fade out with time, specially if unused. Understanding on the other hand is virtually everlasting, it feeds from basic referential knowledge blocks and harbours the potential to feedback loop into building further solid knowledge. Just as an...

My method involves extremely thorough coverage of the relevant specification or curriculum, bolstered by bespoke revision materials which are in line with the requirements of the widest possible variety of examining bodies, followed by extensive exam practice.

I try to instil a sense for thoroughness in all my students, but I also think it's important to enjoy lessons. As...

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 level, a pupil has to...
