Having had my own maths tutor from a very young age and from tutoring my very own students, I have built my understanding of what makes a good, productive lesson. I like to start off from the basics, making sure your knowledge and skills are at a solid foundation level. Depending on what year you are in and what level you are studying at, I structure all my lessons differently, still making sure to cover everything on the syllabus, focusing on adapting it to your needs. I’d focus on parts that you find more challenging, finding different ways to explain so that understanding becomes a whole lot easier. Being captain of my badminton team throughout secondary school and into a levels, I have developed my skills of motivating people to keep going; focusing on achieving goals, no matter how small they seem. I used to tutor GCSE students whilst completing my A levels and thoroughly enjoyed it. I believe that being patient and persistent when tackling difficult topics is essential to building your knowledge in a way that is comfortable for you. I like to make my lessons fun, with different activities that make concentrating easy. Maintaining a positive attitude whilst studying is vital to making the whole experience better. I like to focus on this as I know how difficult it sometimes can be. Studying doesn’t have to be boring or difficult! Working on topics together builds your confidence! I’m looking forward to working with you and developing your mathematical skills :)
