Simran

I am an Accounting Associate working for a Big Four Firm having just achieved a First Class Honors Degree in BSc Accounting and Finance from the University of Birmingham in July 2019.

I achieved grades AAB in Accounting, Business Studies and French at A level and have previously spent time during a French exchange living with a French family and also undertaking work experience in Savenay.

I have a passion for the subjects that i teach and hope to engage my students even in subjects that may not be their favorite or come the easiest to them. I am offering tutoring in the following subjects : French and Maths.

Tutoring Experience

Since February 2017 I have been privately tutoring students at GCSE level. One of my most recent students came to me working at a level 3 in Maths and since being tutored by me has achieved a level 7 in their exams. Another has achieved a grade 5 in French having never studied the language prior to GCSE's while two students struggling to pass foundation Maths both succeeded following tuition. I was a peer supporter during my time at Wolverhampton Grammar School where I often helped students struggling in specific areas such as French, Business Studies and Maths. I also volunteered at Wolverhampton Grammar Junior School where I aided students with their reading and literacy skills thus i have had experience tutoring students of varied ages.

Tutoring Approach

Having studied French, Business Studies and Accounting at A level, I am very confident and familiar with the types of questions exam boards ask and the skills required. I also have a strong mathematical background and understand that like languages, it does not always come naturally to everyone and sometimes requires a different method or explanation. I enjoy working with students and identifying both their strengths and weaknesses in order to increase their understanding and skill set. I aim to increase the confidence in students with regards to approaching exam style questions and take a friendly and fun approach to teaching, going through topic by topic, adapting my style to meet the needs of each individual. If there are any specific areas that either the pupil or parent would like to focus on, I am more than happy to do so.
