Rakeen

My name is Rakeen Raveendran and I have recently graduated from Surrey University with a Masters Degree in Digital Marketing and Channel Management. I enjoy tutoring on the side and I am passionate about teaching maths and empowering students to unlock their full potential. With a warm and approachable demeanor, I strive to create a supportive learning environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and exploring new concepts.

Tutoring Experience

I have around 2 years experience in tutoring all kinds of students from different ages. I have particularly tutored 11+ students in maths and helped them progress.

Tutoring Approach

In my 11+ Maths tutoring sessions, I aim to provide a supportive and engaging environment where students feel empowered to excel. Drawing from my experience and academic background, I've developed a structured yet flexible approach that caters to each student's individual needs. I understand that each student has their own way of understanding concepts, so I will adopt a flexible method that caters to each student.

One of the key strategies I employ is analyzing past papers to pinpoint areas where students may be struggling. Once we identify these topics, we dive deep into them, revisiting concepts and practicing until they are fully understood. I firmly believe in the power of repetition to solidify learning, and I make sure my students have ample opportunity to master each topic.

An approach that I've found particularly effective is encouraging students to teach me back what they've learned. This not only reinforces their understanding but also boosts their confidence in their own knowledge. Additionally, I integrate timed practice into our sessions to help students become accustomed to the exam conditions they'll face. By practicing under timed constraints, they gain the skills and confidence needed to perform at their best on the day of the exam.

Despite the focus on academic rigor, my tutoring sessions are anything but stressful. I strive to create a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere where students feel comfortable asking questions and expressing their concerns. No question is too small or silly, and I'm always ready to provide encouragement and support every step of the way. Together, we'll work towards achieving your goals and ensuring success in the 11+ Maths exam.
