Tutoring Approach:

There are as many approaches to tutoring as there are tutees and tutors, and I aim to provide an approach that is unique and individual to the tutee, depending on their strengths, weaknesses and learning styles. It's good to spend a bit of time getting to know the student, discussing their goals for the sessions, and figuring out the teaching method that will be most valuable to them. This way we can progress together, with regular checks as to how the session is working, and moulding it to the student's preference.

It's also important that I provide a situation that engages and stimulates the student, whether through referencing films, television, and other media, or actually enabling practical exercises. The most valuable way of learning is through actually doing it, and getting a real sense of the issues that arise from that experience.

"Practice without theory is empty. Theory without practice, blind."
Immanuel Kant
