Tutoring Approach:
I generally use formative approaches to learning, covering main points or areas of difficulty in detail, then using motivational techniques such as quizzes, short answer questions and revision plans to reinforce knowledge and encourage independent learning and study.
Study techniques are varied, constructing mind maps, bullet point, or diagramatic forms, whichever method best suits the child and enables them to retain and understand information.
I also encourage problem solving practice - ensuring pupils are confident at tackling any graphs or calculations that they may encounter.
