Tutoring Experience:

I have tutored many students ranging from year 7 to year 13, including students from Auckland Grammar and in Kings College. The students displayed excellent understanding from my explanation of the subjects, and proceeded to achieve great results in their exams.
I am involved with debating at school, so I am confident in my ability to convey ideas and concepts in a manner that is easy to understand.

Tutoring Approach:

My approach to tutoring is to first recognize the level of understanding the student has in that subject. By building on his/her current knowledge, I would secure their basics so that they have a strong foundation.
Following that, I would teach and explain the content of the subject in detail to the student, making sure that he/she understands them thoroughly.
I would take their understanding further by providing example questions and answers, so the student can gain an understanding on the best method to approach a problem in the exam.
I would also come back to content that I have covered in previous lessons to ensure the student has developed a long-term memory on the preceding topics.
I also take into consideration the mindset of the student, and will try my best to make the lessons interesting to them. I intend to keep in contact with him/her, so that they can always ask me questions when they come across one.
