All my lessons are delivered with enthusiasm, good humour and understanding - we've all struggled with learning and everyone needs help from time to time. Here's my method of how to help:

To begin with I always assess the existing knowledge of the student. I ask the student to tell me what they would like help with and then ask them to explain something that they already understand to me. This simple exercise creates the expectation that the tutoring sessions are a two-way process; checks existing knowledge and also helps to build confidence in the student as it proves they do understand parts of the subject.

From there, I will create a personalised 6-week plan for each student, giving them the tools and resources they need to achieve their goals. My lessons engage the students by encouraging active participation, using novel demonstration methods and relating the subject matter to the students' interests and aims. Once a topic has been covered and the student feels happy I ask the student to explain what they have learned to me, this can highlight any areas of the topic that are still unclear and need further work or explanation. Short, regular homework tasks will be set inbetween lessons to keep the topics covered fresh in the students' mind and make the knowledge gained permanent.

If you'd like some help please get in touch - I'd be delighted to work with you!
