Materials (for student):
- notebook
- pen/pencil

Content:
- students exam board (AQA, Edexcel, OCR) going off the specification

Experience
- tutoring at school for year 10/11 for GCSE’s, focusing mostly on the Sciences and Maths
- weekly assisting lessons (Science subjects)
- recently sat GCSEs and can share good advice that got me top grades

Why choose me?
- lessons based around students needs: we will focus on sections that students find most difficult
- aim to get through all specification before GCSE exams, and allow students to have a stronger understanding
- flexible times: the length and dates of sessions will be suited around students needs
- homework/extra work can be set if students find it beneficial
- I will be understanding and be patient with students

Teaching Methods:
- First 30 minutes: a lesson on a chosen section/topic by the student
- 10 minutes: quizzes, active recall to make sure students understand what’s been said. I will ask the student questions on the topic and see what they understand the most/least
- 10/20 minutes: going over sections less understood
- 10 minutes: blurting, students will explain at the end of the session what they learnt to make sure they leave with a strong understanding of the topic
(times can vary depending on what the student finds most beneficial)

Sessions will be weekly, and will last between 30 minutes to 2 hours. Session lengths and dates will be discussed with the student.
