My tutoring approach is very much student-centred, this means that I am very adaptable to the needs of a student. However, my core philosophy is rooted in interaction between myself and the student - this includes conversational learning as well as student-led teaching. I also make an effort to get to know my students learning styles, so when they get stuck I know what tools I can use to help them. Whether that be visual aids, hands-on activities, or just a discussion. I also find review and reflection very impactful when it comes to learning which I implement reviews at the beginning and end of every session.

Tutoring Experience
I started my tutoring/teaching journey a few years ago when I joined the supporter's programme at JFK Red Cross School where I helped as a learning support for children with physical disabilities and learning difficulties. I've also helped run a maths homework club for multiple years now. On top of this, I've achieved high-level grades for all the subjects I tutor in - including 9s in all my IGCSE subjects.
