Most one to one tutors provide “Reactive” tuition; that means they simply ask the student what he or she wants to go over or just help with the homework. Since these tutors are generally paid by the hour there is little incentive for them to spend extra time outside the lessons preparing, marking, providing support and most importantly, developing a thorough and challenging programme of study. This approach gives their lessons an ad-hoc quality and minimal utility.
I set out to address these problems by structuring a programme to suit your childs needs as well as backing up with thorough out of lesson homework each week that complements the lesson; this is “PRO ACTIVE” tuition at its best – and it really does work. Over the last 13 years virtually all of my student have scored A*/A grades.
I’ve prepared students to study at many of the top university in the country, but most exciting for me, is that many of my students keep in touch and I’ve been invited to many of my “past” students weddings!
You’ve got this far into my profile – so you clearly have a great eye for detail. The below is how the course is put together, so that the whole is greater than the sum of the parts.
1) Thorough Preparation – The vast majority of teachers simply “turn up and teach” without adequate preparation. Maths is mostly about ‘understanding’, and less about ‘regurgitating facts’. A tutor gets ONE CHANCE to impart “understanding” in a clear and coherent way. Not having prepared and risking an incomplete, confused or incoherent explanation instils confusion in the student, rather than confidence.
2) Specifically designed homework - Most tutors either set no homework at all, or thoughtlessly set exercises from a text book containing inappropriate questions. Each homework I set is specifically written to complement the lesson, containing some questions designed for routine practice and some questions designed to challenge the student; encouraging them to 'think' and to develop their logical capacity.
3) Out of lesson support – Although I teach the student during the lesson, I also support them in the week inbetween. So the student can get help with the homework when they need it, rather than having to wait until the next lesson. That way, my students, have no excuse for being “stuck” with the homework and they arrive at the next lesson ready to move forward. This avoids stagnation in their learning.
4) Web Lessons – I utilise the computer in the “correct way”. The web lessons release valuable lesson time where I can teach the students to “think”.
5) Monthly tests – Teaching in a planned, coherent manner has many advantages. A students ability to recall topics will wane overtime. The established way to avoid this is to review the topic at set intervals.
6) Exam practise – My students are given plenty of past paper practise – but only at the right time , once they have deep understanding of all the individual topics within the syllabus. Far too many tutors use exam papers to ‘teach’ from, which means they are setting papers when the student isn’t ready. The upshot of that is the student’s scores fluctuate wildly and their confidence erodes.
