Mia S

Hi, my name is Mia and I am a first year college student, studying Maths, Psychology and R.E A-levels. I am passionate about learning and creativity and, being the eldest of three siblings, have extensive experience of babysitting and helping with school work. In addition, I completed two of my GCSEs' earlier - Art and Religious Studies and achieved a grateful grade 8 in both subjects. Outside of my academic endeavours, I enjoy partaking in sports such as swimming, karate and badminton. Being an art lover, I also enjoy spending my time making and creating a variety of art forms. I am happy to help with KS3/GCSE Maths or science, alongside GCSE Art and Design. I look forward to working with you and learning together!

Art and Design GCSE - more verbal feedback, tips and advice and use of inspirational sources such as pinterest etc.

Sciences(Biology/Chemistry/Physics) GCSE - I will use powerpoints, knowledge organisers or make mindmaps/notes with the student. Before the lesson ends, I see it beneficial to try exam questions with them or give them some to try after the session to help familiarise themselves with what to expect in the exam.

Maths GCSE - I like to go through examples and talk about the topic, slowly bringing more confidence in the student to try exam questions by aiding them with it first and then letting them have a try independently, giving them feedback and making sure they have grasped the concept.

Overall, I like to begin by helping them understand the content, then learn to manipulate the exam questions, learning what to expect and concreting their knowledge through retrieval.
