Tutoring Approach:

I have a calm and flexible approach to tutoring. I believe that a tutoring approach has to be child/ young person specific. Due to this I always take into account where the child/ young person is currently academically, what their preferred learning style is, their strengths and weaknesses, and also their personality before I make any decisions on my specific approach.

I use a range of resources, strategies and methods to engage and ensure a secure depth of understanding.
