A math ​tutor from Bonnyrigg.

My goal being a private teacher is to develop in my learners a deep understanding along with confidence in answering exam questions and managing to tackle unknown situations. My approach is based on the opinion that learning happens in an atmosphere of reciprocal respect wherein the scholar is encouraged to think and find new connections on their own. My sensation has been that individual lesson has a distinct benefit to scholars thanks to the option to break down the learners' particular boundaries to study in a manner that lays the roots for a deep and lengthy perception of the material.

Student’s needs and learning style matter

My approach differs depending on the scholar's learning style and needs. My teaching philosophy is built upon motivating scholars to think for themselves, applying existing situations wherever possible. |In my opinion it is crucial to provide students with a working knowledge and to give them problem-solving abilities for building upon this knowledge. Teaching a person to think critically is at the fundamental of things that a scholar should really withdraw off any subject course.

We learn through examples

The most long-lasting increases a coach can make is mentoring students, and it is a process, which I consider to be enjoyable and rewarding. From my experience, I found out the importance of involving students by means of patterns and of delivering information at a degree which implies perception but not specifically knowledge, mixing the known with the unknown in a combination that brings the learner the disposition of probability instead of that one of impossibility that official and impressive techniques may inflict.

Using a lot of practising

I start from themes the students are comfortable with and proceed step-by-step to more complicated areas as long as their self-confidence is being raised. I bring into play examples and questions to confirm grasping constantly. I never lecture to children or request them to memorise information. Nor do I accomplish the students' investigation for them!

I usually focus on test-style as well as recent queries to examine, work at and improve the student's recognising and practice. I additionally give a lot of emphasis to some of the less vital but obvious abilities for instance, logical thought, essay structure and technique, and the good use of graphs and numbers.
