Information About Sorcha - Leixlip tutor

Personal Description:

I am a second year student in Trinity College Dublin. I am a first class honour student in a maths and computer science course called MSISS. I completed my Leaving Certificate in 2018 and achieved a H1 in Maths, with an average of 97% across the two papers. I am a friendly, helpful and hardworking student and would like to help any Leaving Cert students, especially given the current uncertainty.

Tutoring Experience:

I have given grinds to honour level leaving certificate maths students over the last two years and have moved to online since the Covid 19 restrictions. I have a whiteboard and am comfortable giving grinds online.

In addition, I have coached kids of all ages in basketball.

Approach to Grinds:

I would take a very friendly approach to grinds. I believe students learn best when they are comfortable in their environment so I think this is a key consideration for giving grinds. Every student learns differently and has different goals which I would carefully consider within the grinds. I believe for students to get their best result in maths they need to have confidence in their ability. This confidence is something I would try to give to the student. I have both the Active Maths textbooks and the Text and Tests textbooks so would look at going through topics with these before switching to the more challenging exam questions. Potential students could give me the area they want help with and I could prepare the best way to help them understand the topic.
