Information About Bradley:

Personal Description:

I am a third year undergraduate studying physics at Imperial College London. Having taken GCSE and A Level examinations within the last five years I feel that I know precisely what is required of a student taking these exams. Being only 20, I feel that I can offer a different approach from older tutors, some students can feel more comfortable with someone of a similar age. If you have tried an older more experienced tutor and this has not worked then maybe I am the option for you.

Teaching Experience:

I have no formal teaching experience having gone straight from school to university. However, I have been helping a 13 year old preparing to take his common entrance exam in order to get into Westminster School. I have mainly been a help with maths but he has found me useful in preparing for his science exams too. He preferred me helping him to his at the time paid tutor who was a retired teacher as he felt I was a bit more understanding as to what a child of his age needed to know.

Tutoring Approach:

For the teaching of maths I feel that there is no substitute for practice. I supply lots of relevant problems after having taught/revised a particular topic. I feel that a person learns maths best when they attempt questions and are able to ask for advice or to be shown several examples before attempting these on their own.
For the sciences my approach is different as this is more fact based. I take a particular section of the subject before going through all that needs to be known for the relevant examination. After, I ask a selection of questions in order to ascertain the level of understanding. If it needs improving I shall approach the topic from a different angle to see if this helps in the understanding of it. If the understanding is good I would then move on to more exam based written questions.

Qualifications:

• Currently on 2:1 in physics at Imperial College London
• A at A level Maths
• A at A level Physics
• A at A level Chemistry
