MEng student with a flair for maths helping those up to GCSE level to find their ability in maths!

Methodology

At the very beginning of the tuition session, I outline the areas of topic that the student struggles with and also briefly go over the areas that they are comfortable with which allows me to know whether they are confident enough that they would not need extra work on it. In every lesson my goal is to answer the "why does this work" question - I teach my students so that they understand why they are doing certain steps in a maths question since understanding the mechanisms will make it easier to remember how to do the question. I find that once a student understands maths, they enjoy it much more and then naturally do more of it which then enhances their confidence and ability! I am very patient and encourage students to attempt questions which may be beyond their grades so that there is familiarity and more practice with the scarier complex questions. Overall, I create very light and personalised lessons, I am particularly good at improving young children's confidence and helping them to find a skill and love for maths. In group settings I create friendly and fun classes and encourage collaborations between myself and the students and in some cases I will ask the student to teach the material that I have just taught them since people retain 90% more of the material through teaching. It is important to practise maths regularly to secure those impressive grades which is why I can also offer to set weekly homework.
