LoginIain - Rowlands Castle tutor
Information About Iain:
Personal Description:
I was educated a Portsmouth Grammar School and Cambridge University, obtaining a 2.i BA in Manufacturing Engineering. I have worked as an Avionics Engineer, FE lecturer and now I teach at Malvern College.
Teaching Experience:
I have completed 1 full year at Malvern College teaching Maths to 13-18 year olds. I worked for 1 year as an FE lecturer, teaching engineering subject to Army students. I have worked with Air Cadets for 3 years as an Officer. I have tutored a number of students privately, for Maths and Physics at different levels.
Tutoring Approach:
The point of individual private tutoring is the extent to which it is tailored to the individual student. I always seek to ensure that the student has a learning experience appropriate to their level and interests. In particular, I try to utilise real-life examples to make problems relevant where possible.
I enjoy enhancing the knowledge of young people, perhaps making them consider the topics being taught in a new light, or exposing them to areas beyond the exam syllabus. I do not enjoy the rigid 'box ticking' of exams - learning should be fun! However, most of my work is towards a particular exam with a student, and I can offer some tips on exam technique as well. When working towards a particular exam, as we so often do in life, I believe in practice practice practice. This usually means doing a lot of past papers, and I will work closely with a student through the syllabus in this way.
As I teach full time in Malvern, I will be availble for tutoring during the holidays only. This will inevitably lead to concentrated bursts of effort, most likely exam cramming!
