I plan my sessions around each student so every session will be adapted. An example:-

1. What do you need to know and what is the assignment?
2. Pyramid of knowledge. Covering the wider topic and then becoming more focussed and more concise step by step.
3. How do you remember best? Whether its an exam or an assessment it is important to understand how memory works and apply it to our own learning. These techniques such as visual, oral, written and association will be explored to help the student best comprehend and store the information in a way that isnt viable in a class of 30 plus.
4. Being a confidant. One of the most important parts of being a tutor is trust. That your student can tell you when they dont understand or are feeling anxious about a topic without fear of ridicule or embarrassment. I find it important to highlight that I have been in their shoes and that sharing their concerns over educational uncertainties can truly be the building blocks for academic success. Confidence is key.
