Personal Description:
Hi! My name is Ed . I am a Chemistry Bachelors graduate and Nanotechnology masters graduate from Ireland. I have been a freelance tutor for over 4 years, specializing in Chemistry, Physics, Maths and Biology. I find tutoring to be an incredibly rewarding profession, especially when my students reach the goals they have been working towards.
Tuition Experience:
Over the last four years I have taught a wide age range of students Science, Maths and reasoning. From volunteering to teach nanotechnology to primary school students in disadvantaged areas in Dublin, to helping university graduate students achieve their goal of entering Medical school in Ireland. The majority of my experience lies within the Irish education system (both primary and secondary level), which tracks very closely to the Australian Curriculum. I also have experience teaching the International Baccalaureate (IB) curriculum as well as University level chemistry.
Tutoring Approach:
I believe that a core understanding of the learning materials is key to exam success and long-lasting knowledge of a subject. Memorization works temporarily but doesn’t lead to mastery of a subject. l enjoy using real world examples to explain difficult topics in order to keep lessons light, energetic and fun while doing mock tests along the way. I will start with the basis of the problem and work towards the more difficult material, doing exam papers along the way. I can tutor one-on-one or in groups.
