Jude

Hello! I'm currently a university student on a placement year, pursuing a degree in Electronic Engineering with Computer Systems at the University of Surrey. In my first and second years, I achieved first-class grades, with scores reaching up to 100%. My enthusiasm for both learning and teaching has led me to accumulate over five years of tutoring experience, assisting students across various levels, including GCSE, A-Level, and undergraduate studies. I specialize in Mathematics, Further Mathematics, Physics, Computer Science, and Electronics. My goal is to make complex subjects accessible and engaging, fostering a deep understanding and appreciation for these disciplines.

Tutoring Experience

Over the past five years, I've had the privilege of working with a diverse cohort of students, ranging from Key Stage 3 pupils to undergraduate scholars. This extensive experience has honed my ability to adapt to various curricula and individual learning needs. My tutoring journey began during my GCSE days, where I assisted peers in navigating challenging coursework. This experience ignited my passion for teaching and demonstrated the profound impact personalized guidance can have on a student's academic journey.

In addition to one-on-one tutoring, I've also facilitated group study sessions and workshops, focusing on collaborative learning and peer-assisted study techniques. These experiences have enriched my understanding of different learning dynamics and have equipped me with a versatile skill set to address various educational challenges.

Currently, I'm undertaking a year in industry, which has provided me with practical insights into the applications of Electronic Engineering. This professional experience enhances my teaching by allowing me to draw connections between theoretical concepts and real-world applications, thereby enriching the learning experience.

Tutoring Approach

I believe in a structured yet flexible approach to tutoring, ensuring that each lesson is tailored to the individual student's needs. Whether you prefer a structured learning plan or a more flexible, question-driven approach, I adapt my teaching to help you succeed.

For students who like a clear roadmap, I can create a personalized progress plan, outlining what topics will be covered each week, ensuring steady progress towards your goals. Alternatively, if you prefer a more fluid style, I’m happy to focus each lesson on the specific questions and topics you bring. The key is making the sessions as effective and engaging as possible.

A typical session lasts 1 hour and is structured to maximize understanding:

• 5 minute recap of previous content or schoolwork
• 15 minutes answering student questions and clarifying doubts
• 15 minutes introducing new concepts in a clear and practical way
• 25 minutes practicing and applying knowledge to reinforce learning

This structure is merely a guideline. Some students may prefer an entire session dedicated to problem-solving, while others might opt for in-depth theoretical discussions. We'll determine the most effective approach during our initial consultation and adjust as needed to best support your learning journey.

I offer remote lessons for GCSE and A-Level students in Mathematics, Further Mathematics, Physics, Computer Science, and Electronics, with the option for multiple lessons per week if desired.

I am committed to providing a supportive, engaging, and adaptable tutoring experience. Together, we'll work towards achieving your academic aspirations and cultivating a genuine interest and confidence in your studies.
