My teaching style
I believe with enough time and through hard work any grade is achievable. I try to make my lessons engaging and to encourage students to think during lessons. My approach to teaching is to help students answer questions themselves, by giving suggestions, instead of telling them the answer. Based on a student’s needs, I try to develop their confidence, problem-solving skills, and exam technique. I first cover the areas the student is finding difficult at school. I then go through past paper questions to identify other areas the student needs to improve on. I teach important exam techniques to help improve a student`s grade. Such as methods for preventing mistakes, improving their timing when answering questions, and things they can do if they are unsure about a question. If you would like to have a free 15-minute trial lesson to experience online tuition, feel free to get in touch.
