James

I have just completed my first year studying Sport and Exercise Science at Loughborough University and am a junior international hockey player. I studied Maths, PE, Chemistry and Latin (as a distance learning course) at A level obtaining 4 A*s, with my mark in PE being the highest in the country for OCR. I also achieved all A*s at GCSE.

I am responsible and reliable; I was head boy and have worked with several coaching companies, giving me plenty of experience in helping young people develop and reach their goals.

Tutoring Experience

I have tutored (Maths and Chemistry) over the past 2 years and during Sixth form mentored younger students up to GCSE level in Chemistry.

Tutoring Approach

Obviously my approach would depend on the student and the way they seem to learn best but I have found that concentrated practice on topics to gain a thorough understanding followed by exam questions is most effective. This ensures they have the ability to apply their knowledge and builds confidence for exams. I have always had to balance my study with my sport and so have learnt how to be as efficient as possible. I try and pass on what worked for me in terms of exam technique and how to work and revise productively.
