where the most progress is made. The success in these one-on-one sessions is both exciting and rewarding not just for the student but also for the tutor. The key a good tutoring session is about listening. Taking the time to really listen to what the student already understands and where exactly the edge of their knowledge is. From here it is a matter of taking that prior knowledge and extending it in way that is...

some younger family friends if they were stuck on a particular subject. I like to try get students to understand the theory and basis behind solving a problem rather than simply rope learning. This allows the student to apply their knowledge for a swarm of different problems rather than the specific one they solved. I will try providing different ways of learning a subject if the conventional ways are not working as every person learns...

it is that I can help them with. I've worked at my home country, Mexico, where I've been a math tutor since I can remember. I've also been an English teacher in Japan and Russia. I've tutored one person and groups of up to six people. I know each person is unique and needs a different approach. I try to make every student as comfortable as possible so that classes can be a fun experience....

numbers. Instead, I ask my student to try a completely different problem to apply the concept in a different way. MY STUDENTS ARE CHEERFULLY REMINDED THAT THEY WON'T HAVE ME THERE TO SAVE THEM WHEN THEY'RE TAKING AN EXAM. I believe in a focused, systematic approach of enabling my students to solve problems with as little guidance from me as possible, so that they can be developed to their fullest potential and become independent from...

Nelson

Maths, English

Bachelors: Education (1969)

been a reliever and tutor in Nelson for 10 years. I have a casual approach, never heavy handed. I feel my students and I are both on the same team. I use a lot of humour to help make the students relax. Writing should be enjoyable and creative and if it is seen that way, it becomes much easier. This has been my experience. I love it when I can help my students see the...

I strongly believe that a little bit of work, every day, builds a strong foundation, so am very happy to continue working with students over longer holiday breaks to keep them in top-tip shape for a successful...

his/her student rather than have his/her student adapt to them. I take exactly that approach. It would work best if I were given access to the material you are struggling in and after some assessment on your current levels of proficiency in the given subject, we can chart out the most effective course to take in optimising your understanding of the subject. Gone are the days where a tutor/teacher forces you to learn in only...
