Gordon

I am currently a first year student at the University of Edinburgh Studying Economics and Mathematics. I got 3A's in my advanced highers which were mathematics, statistics and computing science.

Tutoring Experience

In sixth year I have assisted teaching in Maths and Computing classes for lower years at school. I have also helped many of my peers study for exams.

Tutoring Approach

My tutoring approach focuses on providing understanding of mathematical concepts over memorisation - promoting, retention of knowledge and skills, confidence and enjoyment. This is achieved by discussion of concepts, and, identifying strengths and challenges. This enables tutoring to be tailored to the student's individuals needs. We will work through example questions including passed papers for those in exam years. We will also consider effective exam techniques. I aim to support people to achieve their potential, and am able to adapt the style and pace of tutoring to suit a range of students.
