I am running online lessons for those who find themselves struggling with their studies. In light of the current pandemic and the increased difficulties for pupils to engage with their teachers, I am confident that i can deliver concepts and find ways to increase understanding. I aim to make sure that the knowledge is implicitly understood by the pupils so that can think laterally when applying concepts to exam questions and other topics. Being a student, I believe that I would be able to guide the tutees through methods that helped me excel, by drawing from past personal experience. For example, I would be able suggest additional online materials to supplement their learning between our sessions.

I Assisted mentoring year 11s of Urmston Grammar School before registration in preparation for their GCSEs and year 10s after school in preparation for their mocks at The East Manchester Academy, where I received very positive feedback of improvement in academic performance from both the students and their teachers. I have also coached some of my neighbours and friends who were struggling with their STEM subjects during GCSEs which assisted in their progression into A levels and later into universities.

Discuss with the student between lessons and outline goals for the session. Use this information to prepare for the session, gathering resources from the syllabus with the corresponding exam board. Start the session with presentation and discussion of the topic, go over example questions we can work through together, and then finally providing questions for the student to do as homework to gain feedback on where the student is at in terms of that topic.

I have completed both Maths and Physics A levels, under the exam boards of Edexcel and AQA respectively. Even though I have not experienced other exam boards for the subjects mentioned. I believe it is important that I adapt to whatever exam board i come across and take note of the differences and similarities to make sure that I am not teaching the wrong kind of information to the tutees.
