Studying A-Levels and eager to help younger students overcome problems so they can enjoy their subjects to the full

Methodology

I think skills are best learnt when applied to problems that replicate the ones likely to come up in exam settings. An initial discussion of the topic will provide basic skills which, when soon be applied to example questions with clear stages of problem solving strategies laid out, will evolve into a firm comprehension. Continual practice with close supervision to fix any issues that arise should enable students to feel more confident in their own ability, and to never feel dependant on the presence of the tutor when tackling questions. The deeper roots of the concepts will be made clear so that not only are topics grasped, but they are fully understood. That then enables them to mould their knowledge into the format required rather than expect the questions to be posed in a particular way.
