Mark G.
Quantitative Reasoning Tutor
Over 10 Years Experience as a Teacher
My sessions are built towards a student led structure, with the pupil picking their weaknesses to explore but begin with a more supported tutorial with discussions about texts lead by me so that they never feel too intimidated. Eventually, I will become less of a guidance and more of a challenger to their ideas in order to help them become independent in their thinking.
About
I have over 10 years experience as a teacher. My teaching style is heavily dictated by my student. My first lesson is all about discovering what type of learner they are. We’ll also talk about their interests and goals. This seemingly innocuous conversation often holds the key to motivating them towards success.
I try to adapt my teaching approaches to make them personal and effective as my general teaching approach involves much patience along side huge passion and motivation. I also use quizzes to assess the progress of my students and ensure their development. I ensure that my students meet their goals and I take their concerns about certain areas of the subject into consideration by prioritizing these aspects.
I believe I have the patience and ingenuity to teach the vital concepts to students in a way such that they will understand it fully, and know that they are prepared for anything the exam might throw at them.
