I like to have a full understanding of the content a student needs to know before I carry out a session. I will always revise through a student's syllabus before tutorials.
I am a firm believer that the best way to learn is to talk a topic through with someone else. By having a discussion, you can really establish exactly where your weaknesses and strengths are, and personally I find it much easier to remember information that someone has explained to me, as opposed to reading it from a textbook.
My sessions begin with an introduction to the topic we will be covering. I tailor every lesson to the student individually, whether they are a visual, kinaesthetic or auditory learner.
I also find diagrams very helpful as part of explanations. Everyone learns in different ways, and visual representation is often very effective. I also use short video's occasionally in lessons, such as demonstrating chemistry practicals, to reinforce that learning.
I am happy to run tutorials that are mainly prepared by myself before hand, or to just work on whichever topic the student wishes to on the day - it is up to you! I have lots of helpful A Level resources to use for lessons, as well as access to many different past paper questions to use as practice.
We work together on the interactive whiteboard and I bring aspects of the creative side of my personality into the sessions to distinguish from a typical "boring" maths class. Every student leaves my class feeling more confident in Maths and with a drive that they will achieve their dream grade in their final exam.
