Katie

I'm Katie, a 25 year old chemistry graduate (2:1 MSci) from Glasgow. I studied both biology and chemistry during my degree and since graduating have gone on to work in a biochemistry research laboratory for over a year and a half.

Tutoring Experience

I have extensive knowledge on the subjects I teach. I volunteered with the voluntary tutor association and taught a young child general arithmetic and English. We completed her homework each week and then extra reading to help her catch up with her class. I have worked at the Scottish Children Reporter's Administration, engaging with vulnerable, sensitive children and teenagers and have great experience at staying calm and appropriately dealing with the situation at hand. I have tutored using First Tutors previously and received great feedback from my students.

Tutoring Approach

My approach to teaching is to focus on particular areas of the subject the student is struggling with, find interesting ways to learn and teach this to them effectively and consistently ask for feedback so that the student has control over how and what we are learning.
