I teach Maths, physics and chemistry at GCSE level, as well as offering guidance to prospective A level students in these subjects. By “guidance”, I am referring to advice about how to excel in these subjects, and the transition lessons I offer. This involves introductory lessons to each of these subjects (lessons of the first few topics) and transition homework.

The lesson structure will vary from student-student based on how they interact with my lessons. But this is the typical lesson structure you can expect:

- Starter on previous lessons work
- PowerPoint presentation/Video/Whiteboard
- Quick Q+A
- Worksheets
- Marking
- Harder problems (PMT or other online sites)

So that lessons are engaging, the way the content is delivered varies each lesson (as stated above). For more complex topics I may give you pre reading to do so that we make most use of lesson time.

With my students I have my camera on for the first 5 lessons and ask that they do as well so that we can get to know each other. After that, they should only do so if they feel comfortable. (Of course this excuses test/assessments when they will need their camera on).

Since I myself completed my GCSE’s last year I am not much older than my students, which in theory sounds unappealing to some, however I’ve personally seen it give great results: we build a friendly connection where they feel free to ask questions older tutors may deem as “silly”, ensuring they are confident in their understanding and learning.
