My methods of teaching vary from student to student as I cater towards their individual styles of learning. That being said, the one thing I do emphasise to all my students is that understanding the topics is much more important than just to solely memorise something. This is achieved by starting from the very basics and building from there, whilst simultaneously giving them structured methods which make it easy to remember crucial things from each topic. A typical lesson would be as follows: ● We start by going through any doubts from the homework that was set from the previous lesson. ● This is followed by teaching the next topic (new content) – emphasising key points that are highlighted on the specification. ● Next, we work through questions from various textbooks. To begin with, there would be guidance for each question and by the end of the lesson my students will attempt the question with minimal help from me. ● Finally, we go through any remaining doubts that have arisen throughout the lesson or any problems that need to be clarified from their school or university. Closer towards the exams my efforts would be focused towards two crucial skills. The first being exam technique and the second being timing. The approach I take for this is by going through multiple past papers and mock tests. This helps me to understand where my students need to improve and thus where to focus my attention for the upcoming lessons. In addition to this, I give my students tips and tricks that I have developed over my time as a student.

The best tutor I have had, started doing triple science and maths with him during year 10, and ended up with 4 9s in those topics! I would recommend Lavan to whoever needs help as he can teach!
Lavan is punctual and reliable for lesson times. In the lesson, he takes the time to thoroughly explain difficult concepts in a variety of ingenious ways, which helps me to excel when applying my knowledge. The parts of a topic I find challenging are revisited at the start of the next lesson to review and consolidate my understanding. I trust that this personalised approach with meticulous care to my learning will help me to achieve my goals.
Lavan has given me more confidence in chemistry and myself since I’ve been tutored by him. He has genuinely taught me more than my teachers in the past 3 months, and has really helped by simplifying A-level chemistry. He is always prepared to mark work I give him and I recommend him highly.
