Tutoring Approach:

A friendly, patient, mentor-like approach is taken to all my tutoring.

I focus on using lesson time for enabling understanding of the topic content, using structured lesson plans on an online platform. Tutees report that lessons are fun and engaging, rather that regurgitating content which the schooling system is sometimes guilty of.

My tutoring is available online for those at a distance if preferred, and the latest technology is utilised to ensure the lesson is comparable to being in person.

I am available on evenings and weekends, and during the day when there are school holidays.

My tutoring takes a holistic view of what the student is trying to achieve, considering on skills and knowledge they require to excel beyond just their exams, but also looking further at the career and university choices they are considering also.
