Lessons are highly tailored and specialized to individual students. I spend hours designing coursework, compiling book lists, and creating tests.
My lessons are designed to hone existing strengths and improve heavily on weaknesses. Of course, games and extra surprises are added for fun! Ideally, students should be having fun as well as genuinely learning, focusing, and improving.
A typical lesson is around 1 hour, though this is flexible. Coursework will be studied around the students' needs, with routine testing to identify strengths and areas to improve.
I have experience tutoring 20+ students with real results.
I specialize in tutoring children of all abilities (below 16), and can tailor lessons for specific tests (e.g., Selective and OC).
I will ensure the student feels listened to, supported, and encouraged to learn, no matter ability or level!
