Information About Zhihong:


Personal Description:

-I have taught Chinese at Huaxia Chinese School, Manchester.
-I have volunteered to teaching basic science to children at St Patrick's Primary School, Manchester.



Tutoring Approach:

My usual approach to teaching is student orientated. I would usually expect the student to mention topics of weakness and would aim to tackle these simultaneously. I often like to use past papers to guide revision to get the student familiar with common themes and exam technique. I would expect the student to do some light reading around the topic prior to each session, to maximise retention of information during the session. After each session I will provide the student with feedback and use this to guide progress over time. My students have often found this helpful in the past. I like to build a good relationship with my students enabling me to tutor them in a more relaxed manner. I also try to make them feel at ease to ask me questions and explain when they do not understand.
