Tutoring Approach

All student-focused.
Particular focus on essay technique for quick grade improvement.
In the longer term:
Will establish strengths and areas for improvement generally.
Will seek to identify and address gaps in subject knowledge (concepts/terms/skills).
Will set out structured approaches to questions in exam papers.
Will then work through a cycle of practice/review/refine.
