Athethan

Mechanical Engineer BEng, MSc, specialising in Maths and Physics.

Being a student myself not long ago, I can understand the mindset of a student, and I will try to incorporate simple effective methods to develop and exceed the tutee's desired targets

Tutoring Experience

5+ years tutoring experience.

Feedback from Parents:

"I am very happy with Athethan' s teaching.
He is always on time reliable flexible and he is supporting my son during this difficult time."

"Athethan is proving an excellent tutor. Highly focused, well prepared and always on time. My daughter's maths and her confidence is improving in leaps and bounds."

"Athethan is an excellent tutor and I will 100% recommend him for Maths lessons at any level as he has extensive knowledge of maths.
We have had lessons so far and I can describe him as a great motivator who has helped to build my child's confidence.
Athethan understands that every child learns differently, so he uses alternative strategies to teach and this helps my child to grasp difficult maths concepts. His lessons are always planned in advance and he provides constructive feedback after each lesson. My child finds him very approachable and punctual. Sometimes we send him topics at short notice and he comes prepared to teach those topics too.
I feel Athethan uses the right approaches to teaching as he firstly assesses the level of a learner in line with the required syllabus before he starts teaching.
His teaching style is not of a teacher-led approach because he allows the learner to take responsibility for his / her learning at the right time and I feel this helps to assess and see if learning is taking place. There are also regular tests which helps.
Many thanks."

Tutoring Approach

My aim is simple: "Unlock your Potential"

I know that each student learns differently, because I learnt very differently to conventional teaching. So this is my plan for success:
• In the first session, I prepare a small test to see where he/she is at
• Make a tailored plan, which will be detailed with the parent in the first session.
• Use PowerPoints and Exam Questions during lesson
• Weekly homework and exam papers will be provided, with answers

Near exam periods:
• All past exam papers will be covered.
• Provision of my own papers to practice with mark schemes.
• Thorough explanation of questions
• Any questions are welcome!

In my years of being taught by various tutors during my education, I found that parents played a vital part in the support of any child, and hence I involve the parent as much as possible to ensure the best possible results. Therefore, feedback to parents given after every lesson, alongside what will be taught in the next lesson.
