Information About Patricia - Kinsealy-Drinan tutor

Personal Description:

I achieved 9 H1s in the Leaving Certificate 2021, which includes 99% in Mathematics on the final paper. I am currently a second year Statistics, Economics and Finance student at University College London, with a first year average of 80.6%, with the individual scores of 98.15% for the core module of Calculus in Several Dimensions.
Throughout secondary school I attended both Trinity College University's STEM Walton Club and Dublin City University's Centre for Talented Youth programmes in maths and computer science. Additionally, I was a finalist at the Irish Junior Science Olympiad 2019.

Tutoring Experience:

Throughout secondary school, I planned and delivered weekly maths and accounting one-to-one lessons with high quality of teaching, proved by 96% positive feedback from students. I designed creative methods of explaining complex topics, resulting in 5 students out of 7 achieving the top-grade bracket in summer exams.

Approach to Grinds:

My online classes consistent of constant practice. For mathematics and accounting, this is truly the way to go. I structure each class based on the LC curriculum. I work through notes I create individually fro each student which include the fundamentals of the topic, hints and tricks and practice questions, alongside answering any questions students have. Then I provide some unseen and exam-style practice questions that students start to go through at home and I provide solutions in the next lesson, and answer any remaining questions. I believe actively displaying the student with unseen questions is the best way to increase problem-solving thinking that leads to a higher grade in the final exams.
