Marisa

Hi :)
My name is Marisa and I have an MA Hons in Classical Studies from University of St Andrews and an LLB in Scots Law from the University of Dundee.

Tutoring Experience

I have had experience tutoring students ranging in age from six to sixteen. For six to eleven year olds the focus has mainly been on literacy and maths, which I tutored using a variety of techniques including custom made games, drawing and quizzes. I have also tutored several students aged between eleven and seventeen in History and English and we usually focus on both technique and material, and during exam season we go discuss possible approaches to essays and/or source material in order to make the student as comfortable as possible both while studying the course and when faced with the exam paper.

Tutoring Approach

My tutoring methods are adaptable to the different needs of students, whether they prefer to learn through mostly written, verbal, visual or a mix of the aforementioned approaches, with particular focus on games for younger students. Furthermore, it's very helpful to look at and discuss a student's recent homework before making a lesson plan in order to get a good idea of the individual's strengths and weaknesses, which can either be done before or during the first lesson.

My approach to tutoring is enthusiastic and adaptable, and while I will put every effort into helping students make academic progress and do well in their exams/tests, I hope that I can bring enjoyment and genuine interest to their learning as well.

I hope to hear from you soon :)
