Catherine - Cambridge tutor






Information About Catherine:


Personal Description:

I am a current undergraduate of the University of York studying Chemistry. I did Biology, Chemistry and Physics for A level, and Maths for AS.

I found out this year that I am mildly dyslexic. This hasn't seemed to have affected my studies too much until university level, but has meant that I am more aware of other people's difficulties and strengths.

I am a member of St John Ambulance, so I am CRB checked.

A level marks, Biology B, Chemistry C, Physics C
AS marks, Maths D
GCSE marks, Double Science: A*A*, Maths A



Teaching Experience:

Being a house prefect at my final school meant that I dealt with all kinds of problems. Mainly social, but I did have younger students come to me for help with their science problems. They tended to find that my explanations were easier to understand than some of the examples they were given.

I am also an adult instructor at a local Cadet Unit.



Tutoring Approach:

I use real-life examples where possible, and will use visual aids. I myself have found that learning by wrote isn't always enough, and can lead to confusion later on. Therefore by learning the concept behind the subject being taught is very useful, especially if it connects to other subjects. It helps to reinforce other subjects and helps lateral thinking skills.

I will use the text-books and examples the school teacher has already given, as introducing too much information can cause confusion. I will endeavour to use the right kind of information and learning style for each individual student.
