LoginDanny - East Molesey tutor
Information About Danny:
Personal Description:
I'm a Maths graduate from Cambridge (previously a scholar at Westminster), currently working as a programmer developing science software for schools. I'm also an author of both technical books and fiction. I have two young children of my own, and have a keen interest in education and child development - on a personal level, I'm fascinated by how the mind works and how humans evolved.
Teaching Experience:
I'm an experienced tutor, with many successful former pupils, mostly at GCSE level, but also A-Level and beyond. I have a teaching qualification (in adult learning), although I do think teaching and tutoring are rather different. In my day job, I also work in the educational sector, so I have a lot of contact with schools and teachers and understand the educational climate. And as mentioned above, I have written a published textbook on Maths and Physics.
Tutoring Approach:
In my opinion, the role of a tutor is to support teaching rather than replace it. Mostly, I find that people coming to me are struggling because they are missing a key piece of understanding - my job is to find those gaps and help to fill them. A good tutor often doesn't even need to know the material the student is working on: sometimes just having someone to learn along with them and go through the work together is enough to make a difference.
