I started tutoring around 2 years ago in October 2021 and gave since tutored over 1700 hours worth of lessons across primary and secondary school in both Maths and Science. I have worked with a range of abilities in this time from those aiming for grade 9 and those working at a grade 1. This has enabled me to understand the different approaches required in order to help give a student the best possible personalised tutoring experience. This experience has given me a thorough understanding of the Maths curriculum from KS2 up to and including KS4. I believe this helps me to tailor directly to the needs of my students as well as enables me to go beyond the curriculum when necessary.

Furthermore, I have a very interactive teaching style where I will constantly interact with the student to try and get them to engage with me as much as possible as I believe this allows me to understand the needs of the student and how they work best and then once I have established this I know how to work with that particular student.

A regular lesson would go along the lines of beginning with a starter covering the previous sessions work to help refresh the students memory. Introduce the new topic with a few examples. Then go through a question or two together before allowing the student to have a go independently. Then have a go at some higher level/more challenging questions together. Finally concluding with some self reflection discussing what went well and what was challenging and why.
