Tutoring Approach

"I do, we do, you do" faded guidance to ensure student independence develops.
Experience as an examiner - exam question and mark scheme analysis and what the examiners are looking for at the highest level.
I'll focus on what concepts and topics you are struggling with and apply your progress to the necessary exam skills you will need.
