It always took me longer than my peers to understand concepts in science, until I worked out the best way for me to learn was to listen to how my teacher explained, then look for YouTube videos, then interactive quizzes and write flash cards. By this, I mean that the approach I find best is to use multiple resources and to get stuck on one way of explaining as I completely understand that sometimes all it takes is someone to come at it from a different angle.

We can look at the notes you've made in class or lectures and we will identify where it is that is causing you issues and find alternative ways to explain and understand. I find that once a concept is clear, it can be memorised for exams so much easier.

We can create a robust revision plan together so you are fully prepared for your exams. I will help you make resources such as flashcards and mind maps that will really improve your information retention. I truly understand how daunting exams are (I have had to do many over the years) so I will hopefully be able to ease you into the exam period and you will come out with excellent grades!

I will also let you lead if you would like, be that focusing on the homework you have been set by your teacher or working through a book. This is your time and we can understand how to get you comfortable with the content, together!
