What My Lessons Are Like

My lessons are designed to provide students with a clear understanding of their subject, boost their confidence, and equip them with the tools needed to excel in their exams. I focus on Higher Maths, Chemistry, and Biology, tailoring each session to the specific needs of the student.

The structure of my lessons is both flexible and organized, ensuring we cover all necessary material while addressing any problem areas. Each session typically lasts between 1 to 2 hours, depending on the student's preference and ability to focus. All lessons are conducted online, providing convenience and access to a wide range of digital resources.

A typical lesson involves reviewing the previous topic to ensure a strong foundation before moving on to new material. I use a combination of past papers, detailed explanations, and practice questions to build the student’s confidence and understanding. Past papers are an essential part of my approach, as they help students become familiar with exam formats, identify common question types, and practice under exam-like conditions.

To enhance the learning experience, I also incorporate online resources such as revision guides, diagrams, and interactive tools. These not only help explain challenging concepts but also make the lessons more engaging. I encourage students to ask questions and provide step-by-step explanations to ensure clarity.

My tutoring has already helped my current student make significant improvements in her understanding and grades, and I am confident that my method can support more students in achieving their academic goals. I am committed to creating a supportive and encouraging environment where students can thrive.
