For the past two years, I have been tutoring high school and university students, even with learning disabilities, in chemistry and other sciences.
This experience and the knowledge I acquired through my studies led me to develop a teaching method that is based on the student's needs and expectations. I believe that everyone has their own personal method of understanding and processing new information, therefore I always try my best to personalize the lesson in order to make it the most interesting possible for the student I have to deal with.
Although I tailor my teaching based on the person I am tutoring, my method can be summarized as follows. A lesson usually lasts from 1 to 2 hours and it is split in three main parts: introduction and explanation, exercises and revision.
I usually ask students to provide me information about the topics they want to focus on few days in advance, in order to be able to prepare all the teaching material and exercises.
I also give students optional assignments that cover topics of the lesson and the opportunity to contact me throughout the week if they have doubts.
