Tutoring Approach

In lessons a collaborative approach is encouraged students taking responsibility for their own learning. I see myself as a facilitator lessons being conducted in an informal manner. I have access to a comprehensive resource bank targeting all exam boards. Much of the lesson will address exam technique targeted at the student's individual needs coupled with issues from school homework and tests.
I develop harmonious and open relationships with students which is helped by not been involved in assessment.
Being an examiner allows me to have a deep knowledge of exam mark schemes and tips on how not to annoy examiners and to avoid careless mistakes.
