Tutoring Experience

Since 2018, my tutoring journey has undergone significant growth. In 2018-2019, I served as a Maths mentor during my year 13, providing crucial support to year 11 students gearing up for their GCSE Maths exams.

The following year, from 2019-2020, I shifted to delivering in-person tutoring to groups of GCSE and A-Level students. Adapting to the challenges posed by COVID-19 in 2020-2021, I seamlessly transitioned to online tutoring, utilizing technology to effectively engage students.

From 2020 to the present, my online tutoring journey has flourished, accumulating over 1000 lessons and garnering over 150 5-star ratings. Simultaneously, since 2021, I have been providing online tutoring specifically tailored for GCSE and A-Level students.

Currently, I am actively pursuing my PGCE in Computer Science, supported by a scholarship, representing the latest chapter in my unwavering commitment to educational excellence.

Tutoring Approach

I am dedicated to fostering a supportive and engaging learning environment, encouraging my students to ask questions and delve into new concepts comfortably.

As a recent graduate, I understand the challenges of grasping new ideas. I ensure clarity by explaining concepts in a concise manner, reinforcing key ideas weekly, and always welcoming questions during lessons.

The lesson structure is personalized to meet the student's needs and abilities. I incorporate various learning techniques, including quizzes, PowerPoint presentations, recap sessions, and exam-style questions. After covering the fundamentals, a significant part of my lesson focuses on thorough practice with exam-style questions, breaking down the process for efficient and maximized performance.
