Mathematics undergraduate at the University of Exeter. High-achieving student at both GCSE and A-Level - Grade 9 and A* respectively. Having recently been on the same path as prospective tutees, I understand the needs and requirements of the newer mathematics specifications.
3 Years of prior tutoring experience at a tutoring company - demonstrated my competencies as a Mathematics tutor
Awareness of the current focus on problem-solving as opposed to linear format. Recently sat exams of the newer specification - can empathise with the difficulties faced by students in this age bracket - more focus on problem-solving and applications to real-life situations(modelling).
Tailored to the needs of the tutee - work in a structured manner. I.e. Worked examples, increasing in difficulty - building up the basic skills in order to tackle the harder problems. Methodical approach to gaining all possible marks - appreciating the value of correctly laying out answers - especially useful for questions which carry high marks Utilising an approach centred on steady progression - especially the increase in complexity of algebra over the course of the GCSE course - e.g. linear equations to quadratics.
