From an early age, I have always loved reading and learning about literature and history from around the world. Studying the past and the future through material objects such as books and historical records is a passion of mine which allows for a better understanding of the world. I have tutored for a number of years, served as a professor for years, and am happy to pass on to students information necessary in order to succeed!
I like to begin sessions initially with finding out about the student themselves and how best they learn/what they believe their weak areas are.
Once this is completed, I usually target these areas initially within the first session to get a feel of where the student is within the subject.
From there on, I will plan sessions targeting areas we would have discussed which will include re-cap activities to see if the student is retaining the information that I have taught.
This structure allows the students confidence to increase as they will get a clear indication that they are improving with their subject as they move on and target another area they are unsure on.
I think it is very important to stress any achievement or improvement no matter how small to show their improvement which will allow them to complete tasks independently with ease and confidence so that they feel ready for exams.
