Tutoring Approach

I'm a friendly and enthusastic teacher. With my passion for science, I employ a knowledge based teaching style, whereby I first determine the level of knowledge that the pupil has, together with indentification of gaps and misconceptions in that knowledge. I use interleaving of previous material, together with chunking, modelling and deliberate practice of new material to drive my pupils forward on their academic journey.
