MY APPROACH
As a high-level private tutor with a proven track record of success across all UK exam boards, I have crafted a distinctive and effective method for empowering students to achieve academic excellence. With a rich blend of hands-on teaching experience, both in traditional classroom settings and individual online lessons, coupled with the latest insights from cutting-edge pedagogical research, I empower students to cultivate not just academic prowess, but also real-world problem solving skills to serve them throughout their professional lives.
HOW I STRUCTURE MY LESSONS
Exploration &
Understanding
I begin by introducing exam-style questions that are multifaceted and extensive, covering a whole topic within the subject area. Together, we unravel these questions step by step, ensuring complete comprehension.
Visual
Engagement
Utilising visual aids and live drawings, I vividly illustrate the problem-solving process. This multisensory approach not only clarifies complex concepts but also adds an engaging layer to the learning experience.
Interactive
Teaching
I encourage students to actively participate by working through questions together with me, allowing them to feel involved in the problem-solving process as opposed to being merely a passive observer.
ASSESSING PROGRESS
At the start of each subsequent lesson, students complete a related exam-style question to demonstrate their grasp of the previous material. This ongoing assessment allows me to decide whether to introduce a new topic or to deepen understanding with further practice and exploration of the existing one.
REMOTE MARKING & FEEDBACK
As part of my multifaceted approach to tuition, I provide detailed, thorough, and meaningful feedback for mock exams, unit tests, or any other independent work. This allows me to precisely identify any knowledge gaps the student may have, which can then be addressed in an exam context.
TAILOR-MADE LEARNING RESOURCES
Detailed notes, diagrams and workthroughs created during lessons are made available afterwards, allowing my students to read back over the material to reinforce their understanding of the topic, or to use as a guide for completing subsequent problems.
Why This Method Works
What sets my approach apart is its focus on problem-solving from first principles. Instead of merely memorising answers, students build on their existing knowledge, cultivating a highly transferable skill that transcends subject boundaries. The result is not just better grades, but a more holistic, value-rich learning experience that equips students for success in all their future endeavours.
Discuss target grades, whether they be those set by the school, or those desired by the student
Identify learning styles, in particular any areas that a student might find particularly challenging
Determine a personalised learning plan, tailored to fit the specific needs of the student
Discuss further goals, such as university or college admission, and idenfity the right strategy for achieving success
