Teaching experience

I have eleven years' experience working as a self-employed tutor in the sciences and mathematics, offering both face-to-face and online tutorial sessions. I have a track record of inspiring my students in the subjects I tutor, consistently helping them to much better understand these subjects and achieve or exceed their hopes and expectations. I have numerous happy clients who will testify to this, and I have lots of excellent reviews!

Approach

I take a bespoke approach to tutoring, as all my students are different: they range from early secondary school age, through GCSE and A-level, and sometimes beyond, to adult. Some are studying subjects that they are strong in and want to ensure an outstanding result/grade. Others are weaker or struggling, and are looking for someone to explain concepts, which they find difficult to understand. My initial approach is to understand students' requirements and to establish a rapport with them, which I tend to do quite easily. Different students have different abilities, personalities, strengths and weaknesses, so I tailor my approach to the requirements of each individual student. Tutorials are carried out in a relaxed atmosphere, where I involve the student in the session rather than just talking "at" them, giving friendly encouragement. I make extensive and effective use of various illustrative materials and exercises, including past and mock exam papers, for those preparing for exams.
