Tutoring Approach

I understand that each person has a different learning style and I adapt my tutoring sessions to reflect this. I'm friendly and personal and aim to put every student at ease because learning shouldn't be stressful. I use a writing tablet to go through ideas, concepts and calculations and I always adept the content of my sessions to suit the different exam boards and curricula.
