Katherine - Edinburgh tutor






Information About Katherine:


Personal Description:

I am a graduate of Edinburgh University, with a BSc. (Hons) in maths. I am a full time maths maths tutor, splitting my time between teaching at Basil Paterson Tutorial College, Basil Paterson Middle School and private teaching/ tutoring. I am willing to travel to your home to teach, and have an enhanced disclosure.



Teaching Experience:

I have been teaching A level, Higher and Advanced Higher mathematics at Basil Paterson College for 8 years, and have been a professional private tutor for 10 years, having helped over 100 students reach their potential in school based exams.



Tutoring Approach:

I tend to work towards the exam, unless this is not the main intent of the tutoring, I use a mixture of the students school textbooks with past papers, revision aids, and materials I have prepared myself. I like to begin by highlighting the weaker topics, improving knowledge of these, and then working on exam technique and exam style questions.
When required I change this approach to suit the student, so if the sessions are more about improving confidence, I will spend more time on fewer topics, and try to make these as enjoyable as possible.
