I think my greatest strength is my ability to personalise my teaching to the student. On one side, my strong academic background allows me to master all the topics, on the other side, the fact that I have recently graduated means I understand the student's point of view very well as I was in their shoes very recently. While I explain topics, I like to frequently check-in with the student to make sure he/she is understanding the explanations.

My tutoring approach is very personalized and tailored to each individual student. I understand that every student has a different learning style. From the very first lesson, I will try different learning approaches to find out how my student learns best. Then I will continue to teach in the way that is most effective for them. While learning is the top priority in my tutoring sessions, I also believe that learning can be made fun. Over my years of tutoring I have realized that making learning enjoyable is oftentimes a very effective tutoring strategy, which is why I try to make all lessons fun.

I believe that every person, including myself, has a way they learn best. So by getting to know the students better, I will prioritize finding a way that works best for the specific student and work from there. Additionally, I think learning really happens when students are able to organize and explain the content by themselves. So at the end of learning certain units/concepts, I will make sure students are able to articulate what they learned in their own words.

As someone who has experienced various personal struggles with studying, something that greatly helped me in all of my high school courses would be personalized tutoring which is the tutoring approach that I also take. This would include creating lesson plans that are specifically customized the needs of each student. Additionally, I always stress the significance of going through previous mistakes to reinforce the understanding for certain concepts that may be lacking. For a typical tutoring session, I would prefer to start the session off with a large chunk of time dedicated to learning new content while leaving a bit of time dedicated to fixing mistakes and strengthening certain things that need a bit more help. With this approach, I believe that I can not only give students a head start on the materials that will eventually be taught in school, but also ensure that any significant weakness can be fixed, resulting in an enjoyable and efficient tutoring process.

I begin by teaching the lesson that the student didn’t fully understand, making sure to clarify any confusing concepts. Afterward, I create a brief revision sheet to reinforce the material. I then challenge the student with exercises at different levels of difficulty to gauge their understanding and push their abilities. I also leave them with some independent work to complete at home, allowing them to practice on their own. Lastly, I make sure to communicate with the parents, keeping them updated on the student’s progress and highlighting any areas that may need extra attention.

Having spent years in public speech and debate, I have learned that breaking an idea down to its simplest terms with multiple viewpoints is the most effective way to convey a message. Looking at something from one angle sometimes doesn't allow complete concept comprehension. Because of this, my go-to teaching style is coming up with many ways of explaining the same thing to maximize the chance of grasping an idea. Having multiple ways to view one topic opens the mind to a deeper understanding and a complete enrichment in learning. To promote this, I let the students do the thinking while prompting them in the right direction when needed. I adapt to how students think and fit my teaching style with their pace and problem-solving conventions. I tailor-make every lesson for every student. Ultimately, it is my goal to encourage my students to make a habit out of approaching problems through multiple, and perhaps even unconventional, methods to always keep trying new things.

Through my extensive tutoring experience, I sharpened a capacity to tailor my teaching to each student. By establishing a human dimension which makes the tutoring more gratifying, I ensure ensure that my students never feel disoriented or alienated when they struggle to work through material. To that end, I use custom strategies to guarantee students grasp the reasoning behind the concepts, instead of force feeding them knowledge. I am also a firm believer in the importance of learning by doing, and I thus accompany sessions with exercises, paying attention to the methodology used by the student to work through them.

My tutoring approach is centered on providing personalized, student-centered support. I believe each learner has unique strengths, challenges, and learning preferences, so I tailor my methods accordingly. Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, I work closely with students to deeply understand their goals, assess their current knowledge and skills, and develop customized strategies to help them achieve their objectives.

My approach to tutoring is grounded in a personalized style of learning, particularly for middle and high school students who have already developed specific study habits. Drawing on my own diverse academic experiences, I can quickly identify the optimal way for each individual student to grasp concepts and apply them effectively.

My teaching style focuses on progression and interactive engagement. I ensure students fully understand the fundamentals before moving forward, guiding them through the problem-solving process so the learning is deeply reinforced.

Typical tutoring sessions begin with a brief casual conversation to put the student at ease, followed by warmup questions to assess their current understanding and build confidence.  Sessions usually end with a more challenging problem that allows me to evaluate the student's learning and adapt my plan for the next lesson.

In general, my aim is to make learning both interesting and rigorous for students so they can simultaneously achieve the results they want while also developing a curiosity for the subject. I enjoy getting to know my students as individuals and learners so I can support them to the best of my ability by tailoring my teaching approach to their unique needs. In a typical session, I will try to address any gaps in their current knowledge of the course material using both school-provided and private resources, before returning to reinforce those concepts at a later session.

I believe that any subject can be interesting to all students. There is always something to be learned from a problem. I like to make sure students are understanding the core concepts of each topic, which is fun to learn if presented in a captivating manner. I have students make connections between subjects, which helps them see the bigger picture in how a topic can be applied in real life.

I believe in a balanced approach between covering concepts and guided practice. I split my lessons into two, covering theory in the first portion and addressing student queries. In the second portion, I go through topical problems to test my student's understanding of the content. Additionally, I teach students how to structure their responses to get the best possible marks in exams. I believe it is important for students to continue practice outside of lessons, and, to this end, I give tailor-made problems as homework.
