Mathematics undergraduate at the University of Exeter. High-achieving student at both GCSE and A-Level - Grade 9 and A* respectively. Having recently been on the same path as prospective tutees, I understand the needs and requirements of the newer mathematics specifications.
3 Years of prior tutoring experience at a tutoring company - demonstrated my competencies as a Mathematics tutor Whilst at the Royal Grammar School High Wycombe, ran weekly sessions to help younger students (Yrs 7-11) - with a focus on individualised approach Awareness of the current focus on problem-solving as opposed to linear format. Recently sat exams of the newer specification - can empathise with the difficulties faced by students in this age bracket - more focus on problem-solving and applications to real-life situations(modelling).
Tailored to the needs of the tutee - work in a structured manner. I.e. Worked examples, increasing in difficulty - building up the basic skills in order to tackle the harder problems. Methodical approach to gaining all possible marks - appreciating the value of correctly laying out answers - especially useful for questions which carry high marks Utilising an approach centred on steady progression - especially the increase in complexity of algebra over the course of the GCSE course - e.g. linear equations to quadratics
Closer to the exam period, specialise in working through past exam papers and applying the knowledge gained over the course of the tuition period. Make sure to go over the more obscure / historically difficult questions in order to certify a level of competence.
