A math ​tutor from Ardross.

As a teacher I do my best to develop in my students a deep recognition as well as self-confidence at tests and being able to handle new concerns. The base of my approach is the opinion that learning happens in an environment of mutual respect where the person is supported to think and make new links for themselves. My practical experience has been that one-to-one private training has a unique benefit to students because of the ability to break down the students' particular obstacles to learning in a manner that sets the bases for a lasting and thorough comprehension of the topic.

Student’s needs and learning style matter

My approach varies depending on the student's learning style and needs. But, the basis of my teaching ideology is motivating students to think for themselves, operating real-world models everywhere possible. |In my opinion it is crucial to provide children with a working skills and to develop analytical skill sets for establishing upon this knowledge. Teaching anyone to think analytically is at the base of what a person have to take away from any subject program.

The role of mentoring

Training learners is one of the most long-lasting contributions a teacher are able to do, and it is a process, that I find fun and beneficial. From my experience, I found out the value of engaging students with the help of models and of delivering data at a degree which implies mentality though not necessarily knowledge, mixing the unknown with the known in a synthesis which brings the scholar the sensation of probability rather than that one of impossibility that authoritative and impressive approaches may lay down.

Using a lot of practising

I begin with topics the scholars are comfortable with and step regularly to more complex parts while their confidence is being developed. I choose examples and questions to make sure realising continuously. I don't ever lecture to scholars or tell them to memorise information. Nor do I perform the students' homework for them!

I normally focus on exam-style as well as recent queries in order to evaluate, exercise and develop the scholar's recognising and performance. I even give a lot of accent to many of the not so much obvious yet vital skills such as logical thought, essay technique and structure, and the efficient use of numbers and graphs.
