Secondary School
I assist with the following:
Coursework, exam preparation and understanding course content.

A few examples of how I have assisted are explained below:

Adam was a student who was studying GCSE Economics. He did not have the confidence to draw diagrams and was reserved in class due to not understanding material. Within a few weeks with me, we went through each topic Adam was experiencing difficulty with. He regained his confidence in class and achieved an A at GCSE.
Sarah was studying Business at GCSE. She had taken time out of school due to being in hospital and therefore had significant catching up to do. After forming a schedule and ensuring she understood all the main concepts of her curriculum, we went through thorough exam practice. This assisted greatly and her grade went from E to B.

Tutoring Approach:

I have not had a student fail their modules after being tutored by me. Students often come to me distraught and worried about their exams or essays, however after one lesson they understand difficult concepts due to my teaching methods and are much more confident in the subject area.
I concentrate on understanding course content and exam preparation. As I have experience in setting exam papers and marking exams, I teach students exactly how to structure their answers.
Every pupil I have prepared for eleven plus has passed and entered the school of their choice.

I offer both face-to-face and online tutoring individually and in a group setting.
