I am a Year 12 Student at St Paul’s Catholic School doing Mathematics, Further Mathematics and Engineering at A-level.

I achieved a grade 8 (A) for my Maths GCSE and did achieved a 6 (B) or above for every other subject.

My experience consists of being a Mathematics ambassador at my school which allows me to teach younger years that require a greater amount of help than other students.

My teaching methods consist of firstly getting my student to understand the general basics of a specific topic through simple notes and trying to explain the topic in the easiest way possible. Once the basics have been reinforced, practice questions are the main focus as they provide the best representation of what an exam would look like. Some of these may be worked through together whereas there will be instances of the student attempting them by themselves with little to no help. This is a continuous process that will develop the students skill in this area and once they have progressed significantly, the process will be repeated for a new topic.

In addition to this, I find that it is critical for a good connection between the tutor and student. To achieve this, I ensure to always speak to the student in a friendly manor, constantly knowing how they are feeling in a particular topic to best adapt to their needs. From experience, learning is a lot easier for students that get along with their teacher as they feel like it is an opportunity rather than a task.
