Tutoring Approach

Student Centred!
Restoring self confidence for a subject is an essential part of Tutoring. As is explaning misunderstood concepts, going over topics missed or not explained thoroughly in the first place.
Most students have an exam goal to aim for - so a positive approach to answering exam questions is a tutoring essential.
