Alyssa - Glasgow tutor






Information About Alyssa:


Personal Description:

I am currently a student at the University of Glasgow, studying veterinary medicine. Throughout the course of my life i was moved from one country to the next due to my parents job, in doing this I learned many languages and learned a lot about different kinds of people and different teaching techniques as every school had its own methods of teaching.



Teaching Experience:

While I was living in Tokyo, Japan, I got into teaching English to Japanese kids as part of an after school activity for pocket money. I became very interested in teaching as I watched their progression through the different levels in the program. After working with these kids, I began helping out in maths and sciences tutoring for younger kids that were struggling with their courses.



Tutoring Approach:

I myself occasionally struggled to get to grips with a few of the topics included in the international baccalaureate degree. I found that the best option was for me to go back to the basics and re-structure my knowledge on the topic thus finding where my learning problem was and defeating it. Then, in order to apply my knowledge to test questions I continued to go over past papers and to write exams questions out. In teaching, I found that the same techniques are useful and valuable to students.
