Personal Description: I am currently studying as an undergraduate at The University of Edinburgh. My main strength is mathematics and I have tutored all ages, receiving very positive and encouraging feedback from all. I will continue to teach mathematics up to Higher level and additionally tutor chemistry and physics up to Standard Grade level.

As it hasn't been that long since I completed these qualifications I have a very clear idea of the subject and what it feels to study it, the common difficulties and the ways to achieve the top grades!

Tutoring Experience: My main experience has been casually based, helping many classmates after class, teaching siblings/family members and friends, reinforcing their knowledge of the subject and feeding them the key information in order to achieve the best possible grade and understanding. Everyone who I have taught has complimented on my teaching technique and how I emphasize those key principles which are so important for the overall comprehension of the specific subject.

Tutoring Approach: My approach to tutoring is ensuring I always come across clear, effective and assertive in the way I teach. If a student doesn't quite grasp one particular idea, I ensure that a full insight is achieved for them. I do this by providing tests, useful tips and clever ways to make the process of learning fun and aspire to change the view of many pupils that these subjects are boring and pointless. I am very familiar with all the Scottish qualifications resources and will provide extra books and exercised to maximise success. I focus on the areas of difficulty of the student and continually test understanding which has provided all my students with excellent grades in exams.

Many tutors these days concentrate on old fashioned techniques and parts of the courses which confuse the student, decrease understanding and never appear in exams. Being young and enthusiastic, I help my students achieve great results by teaching them techniques which helped me become successful. I address highly relevant and common material which appear every year in national exams and provide extra information which boosts understanding. Tuition is normally at the students home and I will travel to homes preferably near to me on the south side of Edinburgh, possibly further on request.
