Idris

Hi I’m Idris,
I sat my GCSE exams in 2021 and finished my A levels in 2023. I currently work in Finance and Sales as an apprentice. I’m very approachable and enjoy talking as a way to learn and develop understanding.

Tutoring Experience

During A-levels with grades AABB:
I had to develop and try a variety of revision tools and ways to learn lots of content efficiently.
I’ve got experience in teaching younger children how to read, as well as walking peers through problems step by step, encouraging them to answer by themselves.
Currently enjoying teaching new starters at my job.

Tutoring Approach

As I sat my GCSE exams in 2021 and finished my A levels in 2023 - I’m very aware of the standards required in terms of preparation. I also appreciate this is hard to grasp for many students especially those who haven’t sat an external exam yet; but the skills I can pass on are transferable across a range of subjects.

I believe everyone is capable of working at the level they want to, provided I can fill in the gaps in their basic understanding first.

This is why I start by identifying gaps in knowledge, weaker areas and tackling them head on from the basics first right through to more difficult and unusual concepts - finally with exam technique to understand how to show the examiner your knowledge.
My sessions are very interactive with back and forth questions to ensure a student’s understanding verbally, with questions which will be written with and without assistance; combined with repetition in-between sessions by 1) creating simple revision tools for key term recall and 2) making use of homework provided by the school they attend, so they can actively see an improvement with current topics.
