To me, tutoring should not simply be helping a student understand a topic. Tutoring should also be about equipping the individual with the skills and mindset required to be an independent and confident student.
Based in Central London
Living in Central London, I offer face to face, private tuition to students in zones 1-3. Face to face tuition is important in helping to build rapport with students, creating a positive academic environment in which students feel comfortable making mistakes, asking questions and learning. Unlike the classroom, the 1:1 support provided by private tuition sessions are paced according to each student’s needs.
Experience
I have had 3 years of experience in GCSE and A level tuition to students from several different backgrounds.
A holistic approach
In the US, 11% of college and university students reported experiencing burnout in the past year. Being a student myself, I understand the anxiety and stress faced in academia. Caring for one’s mental health is fundamental in achieving success; taking time to destress is just as important as studying. This is why I take a holistic approach to tuition, I am eager to teach students the techniques I have developed to best cope with these pressures. Ensuring my students maintain a healthy work life balance and being an empathetic figure of support are key facets of my tutoring style.
Insight into exam technique
At A level and GCSE, exam technique is essential for success. Having recently completed A levels, I have an insight into what examiners are looking for in answers. This helps my students understand what exactly each question is asking of them, enabling them to access higher marks.
Smart studying methods
Time management is key to a healthy work life balance. With smart studying methods such as active recall, this is more easily achieved. I teach students how to navigate these scientifically backed revision techniques to enhance one’s revision.
Personalised tuition
I take a personalised, individualistic approach to each student. Understanding the individual’s strengths & weaknesses, learning styles and personality are all key aspects of this. Building a relationship with students based on mutual respect and trust to achieve this is imperative.
