As an oxford-educated tutor, I believe my approach to any work will be thorough and inquisitive. My lessons are about catering to the individual student, to maximise their personal benefit. School can feel like a very systematic and universal way of teaching that might not work for everybody, so I would like to spend the first session getting to know the person: their organisational habits, their relationship to deadlines, their tendency towards visual/aural learning, their way of thinking, and their academic interests. I would never want a student to feel like a tick on my list, but to instead feel that I genuinely care about their academic progress, so that we can celebrate their accomplishments and work through any defeats together. I am there to support the student, any work they produce will be their own and they should be able to feel proud of their grades, to understand that I only help them fulfil the potential they already have. I prefer to work with neurodivergent students, due to my own neurodivergent thinking that is inevitable in my studies and work, but that is by no means a requirement. I work as an online tutor, but am flexible to the platform the student or parents might prefer (Zoom, Google meetings, Teams, etc.).
