Tutoring Approach

Sessions with me usually are engaging and interactive. I like using presentations as teaching material.

I usually open the session with a recap of the previous sessions to ensure the student and I are on the same page or find out any areas which still need help. In this part, I introduce exam questions to assess gaps in understanding and add in some brainstorming as well for engagement. From here, we focus on building techniques along with practical activities and constructive feedback.

I have different ways to help my students reshape their techniques and overall work. I am looking forward to learning with you!
