A math ​tutor from Blewitt Springs.

Being a tutor I aim to develop in my students a deep understanding along with self-assurance in answering assessment questions and being capable to tackle unexplored issues. The base of my ideology is the belief that learning happens in an area of reciprocal recognition where the learner is stimulated to think and make new links for themselves. My sensation has been that personal lesson has a distinct value to students thanks to the opportunity to resolve the learners' particular limitations to study in a way that sets the roots for a lasting and thorough discovering of the theme.

Analytic thinking

My approach depends on the student's learning style and needs. My teaching theory is based on stimulating students to think for themselves, employing existing situations wherever they can. |I suppose that it is crucial to provide learners with a working knowledge and to develop analytical abilities for building upon this knowledge. Tutoring anyone to think analytically is at the core of the things a learner should take away from any subject program.

The role of mentoring

Training students belongs to the most lasting contributions a tutor are able to bring in, and it is a technique, that I find enjoyable and beneficial. From my practice, I found out the value of involving learners through examples and of pitching information at a level that implies wit but not specifically knowledge, mixing the known with the unknown in a combination that gives the person the disposition of likelihood rather than that of impossibility that authoritative and impressive techniques can impose.

Using a lot of practising

I begin with themes the learners are familiar with and proceed regularly towards more complex areas seeing that their confidence is being established. I don't ever lecture to students or request them to memorise things.

I constantly prioritise exam-style or former paper questions in order to test, exercise and develop the student's accepting and technique. I even give a lot of attention to some of the not so evident yet vital abilities like essay structure and technique, logical thought, and the effective use of numbers and graphs.
