I primarily tutor maths online and use zoom as a format to tutor, using whiteboard features and presentation slides, as well as looking over exam questions and papers.
My approach to tutoring maths is first to understand the main concepts within a topic that you would like to work on and any essential information from your exam specification which you need to know to answer exam style questions - sometimes it can be useful to understand where certain formulae come from and the proofs behind certain mathematical concepts to broaden understanding.
Then we will go through example questions together, and finally attempt exam questions where I will help you to apply what you have learned and develop your problem solving skills, which will take up the majority of my tutoring sessions. I believe that attempting as many questions as possible will lead to the greatest improvement in maths, and when discussing example questions I aim to ask the right questions and prompts to my students so that they can confidently learn how to solve problems even if at first they feel stuck, which is very normal when studying maths.
As well as this since I have recently completed my A levels I can provide guidance on general exam technique and revision tips for outside of my tutoring sessions, such as helping you to plan what subjects you should focus on in your revision.
Whilst I do not have any formal tutoring experience I have always been eager to help former classmates and friends over the years with maths, and since I have just completed my A levels and achieved A* in maths and further maths I have an excellent understanding on a range of mathematical concepts and how to improve your problem solving skills.
