Information About Jonathan:
Personal Description:
My name is Jonathan and I recently graduated with a 2:1 in Mathematics from the University of Warwick. At Uni, I divided my time between work, friends and football and immensely enjoyed my University experience. I am friendly, approachable and patient - I enjoy helping to bring the best out of people around me and revel in their success; whether that be my friends, tutees or team-mates on the football pitch!
Whilst studying Maths at University I often sought the guidance of others to help me improve - my firsthand experience as both a tutor and tutee means that I understand the needs of both parties. I feel confident in my ability to adapt to my tutees' individual requirements and learning styles and offer dedicated support and patience in order to help them improve. Exams can be hard and stressful; I aim to make the process as fulfilling and stress-less as possible!
Teaching Experience:
I have experience tutoring Maths and Sciences, at both GCSE and A Level, and this summer tutored two University students through degree level Maths exam resits. The success of my tutees has consistently been good and often has exceeded their expectations - exemplified this summer by my university tutees, who both achieved excellent grades in their resits despite failing the same courses just three months earlier.
In another context, I have been an enthusiastic Under 7s football coach at Ruddington Village Football Club since August 2006. I have helped start up several teams by helping the children individually and collectively to improve their skills.
Tutoring Approach:
I tailor my tutoring to the needs and strengths of each tutee so that I can help them achieve the best results in the most enjoyable way. I am patient, understanding and dedicated to putting in the work and effort necessary to help my tutees improve and be successful. As well as course content, I also focus on teaching good exam technique, since simple improvements in this area can yield massive improvements in results.
Together with my tutee, I set specific goals for each session and overall targets so that we both understand what we are aiming for and my tutee can appreciate the progress that they make. In my experience, often it is a matter of first building confidence in the tutee's own ability, which builds with success in reaching targets and doing well in class or exams. I believe it is important for students to enjoy their work so I endeavour to make this possible!
