Information About Mhairi:
Personal Description:
I have just graduated with a First Class Honours degree in Mathematics from Edinburgh University. I thoroughly enjoy Maths and would love to help students at all levels get to grips with a subject that is often difficult to grasp.
Teaching Experience:
At school I tutored many of my friends who were studying for their Highers. I have also tutored my younger brother and his friends from Standard Grade through to Advanced Higher.
These students have had a varied understanding of Maths and I have been able to deal with and help each of them pass their exams.
I am still very familiar with Maths at school level having only left four years ago. My time at university also means I am familiar with exam situations and learning. At school I had a very good Maths teacher and I would like to pass on the great methods I learnt from him.
Tutoring Approach:
I believe the best way to pass a Maths exam is to have a good understanding of the basics. A lot of exams are written as to make the question seem harder than it is. This way the pupil can break down the questions and attempt every one in the exam.
The best way to teach Maths, I feel, is by example and by doing questions the pupil has struggled with will teach them how to do it in the future by themselves. Therefore it is best if the pupil has a particular section of Maths they are having difficulty with. This way they have questions they struggled with in class or from their homework.
Towards exam time I feel the best method to revision is to attempt previous exam papers so the pupil is familiar with the type and style of questions.
