Information About Kavin - Dublin tutor -

(2 reviews)

Personal Description:

Hi, I am Kavin! I am currently pursuing a PhD in Chemistry at Trinity College Dublin (TCD). Previously, I graduated from University College London (UCL) with a first-class MSci qualification in Physics.

I have consistently tutored students in Mathematics, Chemistry, and Physics for the last 8 years.

Thanks to my targeted approach and emphasis on understanding rather than just memorizing formulas, my students do well. As a result, I'm proud to say most of my (A-Level/College) students were able to get into prestigious universities in London such as Imperial College London and UCL.

I hope to use my passion and my experience in teaching to help you achieve your goals!

Tutoring Experience:

During my first 2 years at UCL, I was actively involved in a teaching volunteering society called Team Up. I volunteered as a tutor to teach underprivileged kids around London in which I taught GSCE Mathematics and Science. As Team Up's assistant program manager at Sacred Hearts High School, I tutored and mentored 3 students. I was also in charge of reforming and constructing new teaching materials after analyzing a survey by students and tutors to increase the effectiveness of each session.
In my final year, I tutored a student from King`s College London on a first-year Physics degree module (Electromagnetic Theory).

While waiting to be enrolled at UCL, I have been a full-time GCSE tutor for Physics, Mathematics and Additional Mathematics for 9 months.

Furthermore, I have also been a tutor at college and have been formally certified by Methodist College Kuala Lumpur as an A-Levels Mathematics and Physics peer-tutor.

Approach to Grinds:

Method of teaching:
I believe the best way to teach someone is to inspire them to learn more about the topic by sparking their interest. I encourage my students to ask me questions in and outside of class, as teaching is more fun and productive when the students are well engaged in the topic. For every student I teach, I will begin by asking which area/topic are they least comfortable with and customize my teaching based on that to boost their confidence and results. Moreover, as I do encourage my students to ask me questions, I will be giving them my contact detail so they can contact me anytime outside of class to ask me questions.
