James

I’m James, 18 from the UK. I am currently studying Finance Bsc at the University of Exeter, having left Hampton School with AAB in Maths, Economics and Spanish A-Level.
I am organised and personable, and outside of my studies I am a keen hockey player, having played for Surrey Hockey for 4 years.

Tutoring Experience

I have 200+ hours of tutoring experience from GCSE level to A-Level, covering Maths and Economics. I currently have 3 tutees at GCSE and A-Level, all of which I conduct online google meets sessions weekly. I began to tutor in 2022 after my GCSES, where I tutored GCSE maths and sciences, however as my studies progressed, I began to tutor maths and economics a level. I find my strengths lie particularly in my economics tuition, where I have been able to explain key economic concepts concisely, and offer exam technique support as well.#/k#

Tutoring Approach

Having had tutors helping me through A-Levels I understand the value 1-1 lessons can add, given a classroom environment may not always be suited to all students.

My session typically consist of an introduction to the topic we will be covering. I tailor each session to the student individually, and will prepare resources, including essay feedback if necessary for Economics. I think it’s important for the sessions to be fun and engaging, so I work with the student at their pace and won’t move on until there is full understanding and confidence - they never need to worry about not getting something!

I like to use online whiteboards in my sessions, especially for maths in order to show step by step solutions to problems.

Additionally I use an iPad and screen share to be able to show step by step solutions to more complex maths problems, (with the use of an Apple Pencil), as drawing on a whiteboard with a mouse can often be a bit messy…
