As much as I have no formal experience teaching or tutoring I have spent countless hours with peers and other students of varying ages teaching them maths, and the reason I am able to get along with these students so well is because i did not always find maths as enjoyable, some teachers explained things in ways that left me more confused, but working with a few great teachers and using a few methods to try and prioritise long term memory over short term cramming I was able to bolster my test scores.
regarding how sessions would go regardless of how many we end up having together I feel as though we should start by identifying strengths and weaknesses maybe in the way of a past paper for example. then from which point once I feel like I have an idea as to what needs to be worked on and how to deliver the content, we can go about working on these areas of weakness by me teaching the content, you practising the basic skills then putting it together in a few exam questions. I do not mind if you do not want to take notes and would rather observe me teach the methods, so you have an idea as to how to put the skills together.
For me this is how I was able to retain a lot of knowledge in the long term by giving myself the understanding to apply the skills to individual questions. With some practise I’m sure we can get there too.
