Private Tutor in Ware
My Summary
About Me
My online tutoring approach centres on the Socratic method combined with systematic problem-solving strategies, encouraging students to discover solutions through guided questioning rather than passive listening. I employ visual learning techniques, real-world applications, and step-by-step methodology breakdowns to make complex mathematical concepts and new reading and writing accessible and engaging. Each 60-90 minute lesson is customized to the student's learning pace and style, with regular assessment checkpoints and adaptive teaching strategies.
As a Redbrick-University-educated PhD with over 15 years of teaching experience at prestigious institutions including Dulwich College Suzhou and Epsom College Malaysia, I bring deep subject expertise and proven pedagogical skills to every session. My lessons cater to students aged 6-18 (Key Stage 2 through A-Level/IB), including those preparing for GCSE, A-Level, IB, and university entrance examinations. I specialize in supporting students who need confidence building, those seeking to achieve top grades, and learners requiring additional challenge beyond their school curriculum.
My methodology emphasizes conceptual understanding over memorization, using interactive digital whiteboards, shared screen problem-solving, and immediate feedback to create an immersive learning experience that builds both academic competence and intellectual curiosity.
