Cian

Hi there! I'm Cian, a first-year student of mathematics at the Universtiy of Bristol offering maths tutoring at GCSE level. Having sat my GCSEs in 2021 and my A-levels as recently as this summer, I am up-to-date with both the curriculum and style of exam questions. My current studies promise to maintain my pre-existing mathematical thinking skills as well as offer me alternative ways to approach problems.

Tutoring Experience

New to tutoring though, fresh out of sixth form, I am well acquainted with the current system and the consequent learning experience as a student. I aim to use this knowledge to teach in a way that I feel would have helped me during my own studies. I am a keen advocate of intuition-based teaching, maintaining that the vast majority of theorems and formulae, as obscure as they may appear, can be unpicked to reveal very reasonable logic at their heart.

Tutoring Approach

My lessons will centre around exam-style questions, though with no shortage of explanations and worked examples as necessary. I will also recommend questions I feel would be useful to complete outside of lessons based on the student’s needs.
