Information About Joe:

Personal Description:

I am a 21 year old student in my final year at the University of Liverpool studying Comparative American Studies. This course covers a wide range of topics concerning the Americas, however I have focused on history and politics within this area study.
I am an energetic, patient, and logical person with an optimistic outlook on life. I come from Bristol, but have spent a lot of time in North Devon as well. My interests include surfing, travelling, reading, music, camping, football, cooking, Latin America, and American history

Teaching Experience:

I have not had a great deal of experience in this area, however, I have three younger brothers whom I helped when taking their GCSE and A-levels. I have also gained valuable experience at a one-on-one basis working at a school for children with autistic spectrum disorders. Whilst this does not really include tutoring it has certainly helped me tune my approach to students and I have gained valuable experience in conducting productive activities and exercises with children and young adults.

Tutoring Approach:

I find the best way to learn is by breaking a subject down to its bare constituents. This helps to build a basic knowledge and foundation of a particular subject, which can then be built on with the finer details which will allow a student to achieve a higher grade. I like to discuss subjects informally (history in particular) which allows students to gain a fluent knowledge of a subject and enables them to adapt answers to suit any question which is thrown at them on the big day. I also like to use visual metaphors to help emphasise points and help gain a better understanding.
I pride myself on essay writing skills and exam technique, I feel this is as important as the knowledge itself and can be applies throughout a students academic career.
I believe that a low arousal, logical approach is the best way to learn.
I am young, patient and energetic and I feel that i can connect with students due to the closer age gap.
