Tutoring Approach

I focus my lessons around discussion, as opposed to dictation, aiming to build a strong, two-way relationship with my students.

My in-depth knowledge of the curriculum and extensive bank of teaching material means I can provide structured support, tailored to your child’s level and goals. Alongside this, I like to give my students the opportunity to focus on or revisit areas they have found particularly difficult.

I am very conscious to keep students engaged and enjoying their work. I view developing an interest in learning as important and with many pupils having a high workload I want my lessons to be looked forward to, not a source of boredom or anxiety. Teaching this way both helps the student enjoy the learning process and achieve top results.
