William Gardiner

As a tutor, I focus on creating a calm, supportive, and patient learning environment where students feel comfortable expressing themselves. I tailor my teaching methods to meet the unique needs of each learner, particularly those with Special Educational Needs. My approach involves breaking down complex topics into manageable steps and using clear, simple explanations to ensure students understand the material at their own pace.

Building confidence is central to my teaching; I believe that learning should be empowering, so I encourage students to ask questions, make mistakes, and learn from them in a safe space. By celebrating small victories along the way, I aim to foster a sense of achievement that motivates students to keep progressing.

I have experience tutoring maths and literacy students aged 11-13, focusing on building strong foundational skills in both subjects. My approach includes using real-life examples to make concepts more relatable and providing structured guidance to help students develop critical thinking and problem-solving abilities.

While I’m still gaining experience in tutoring SEN students, I am dedicated to continuously learning and adapting my methods to best support them. I use a variety of tools and strategies, including visual aids, hands-on activities, and structured routines, to accommodate different learning styles and needs. My goal is not only to help students succeed academically but also to help them build lifelong learning skills and confidence in their abilities.

Ultimately, I always strive to make learning an enjoyable and rewarding process, helping each and every student unlock their full potential.
