I am a 22-year-old graduate from the University of Cambridge, tutoring in Maths, Further Maths and Physics.

Advert description
I am looking to teach passionate students at a GCSE and A Level standard in Maths and Physics whilst also being able to offer my experience for University application including personal statement, interviews, and entrance examinations. I performed extremely well in my own GCSE's and A levels and would very much enjoy working with students who want to be challenged to improve their skills, test their knowledge, and share my passion for the subject with them to aid their engagement. I am very used to learning in small group settings and understand how to maximize the effectiveness of these whilst keeping them entertaining and useful learning experiences.

I am a graduate from the University of Cambridge and throughout my time there my learning was most significantly aided by the supervision style of learning unique to Oxbridge, and is what I will attempt to recreate in my sessions.
Here, a student will complete a problem sheet before the lesson, which is often challenging and comes without answers and bring their work to the supervision. The supervision itself will be with an academic in the area and a maximum of three students. The supervision begins by discussing the general lecture content covered in the week, and in this case would be any topics in school that have come up that the students may have questions on or desire more information about. It will then move on to the problem sheet where the student can raise any questions they have and places they need guidance for as well as having the answers to the questions provided. This allows me as a tutor to see which areas the student is struggling with and those which they are comfortable with and need less time on.
This challenges the student to become responsible for their own learning by coming prepared with questions and use me to guide their learning rather than the tutor simply telling them which areas they need to focus on. By actively engaging with problem sheets, especially without answers, it really aids the student to engage with their subject and remember techniques which are likely to be used repeatedly during exams and interviews.
