LoginDavid - Manchester tutor
Information About David:
Personal Description:
I am a former science technician, working in clinical research labs on projects linked to Cancer Research and Addison's disease, who started tutoring and then teaching as a means of support while completing academic studies.
Teaching Experience:
I started as a private tutor in 2004 and then became a visiting lecturer in A level Biology at Sutton Coldfield college where I also taught Anatomy and Physiology for holistic therapy and Access to Teaching (level 3 science) courses. I have since worked as a supply teacher in the West Midlands, providing cover for absence in a number of secondary schools and as a part time lecturer in Biology (A level) at Solihull sixth form college.
As part of my PGCE studies, I have also had experience in KS2 teaching (all primary subjects including literacy and numeracy preparation for KS2 SATs).
Tutoring Approach:
The most effective approach to tutoring varies depending on the student, the problem and the resources available. Therefore, I tend to assess each appointment on a case by case basis. The most common approach is to assess the areas of the subject in which the student is having the most problems and review what teaching has already been given in that area by looking through exercise books. This is followed by working through these problem areas, filling in any gaps in knowledge and discussing methods for revision and exam technique.
Also offer review and advice on essays, assignments and other coursework. This can be done either in person or online (tutee sends files in appropriate formats and recieves e-mail with comments and suggestions for improvement).
