What does a group session look like?

My group sessions are carefully designed to maximise learning and engagement.

Before each session, students complete a short homework task. This involves watching a 20–30 minute video where the topic is explained, with students making their own notes. This pre-work ensures everyone comes to the session prepared and ready to dive into more advanced, challenging questions.

We begin the session with an interactive online quiz to assess the group’s and individual students’ understanding of the topic. This allows me to tailor the session in real-time to address any gaps or challenges.

During the lesson, I use a live whiteboard, which makes it feel as though I’m right there next to each student, explaining concepts clearly and step by step. The sessions are dynamic, supportive, and focused on building both confidence and mastery.

Is it worth getting a tutor for GCSE?

Mathematics at a minimum of a C grade is a requirement for any University course. Most school-age children will study mathematics for between 3 to 4 hours a week and if a resit is required, access to mathematics teaching is vastly reduced. It is my belief, therefore, that it is best to try to achieve the desired grade at the first attempt. If you are worried about your or your child's performance in mathematics you should intervene as soon as possible.

Isn't face to face tutoring better?

While face-to-face tutoring has its merits, online tutoring offers several unique advantages that can actually make it more effective and convenient for many students:

Flexibility: No need to worry about traffic or scheduling conflicts! Online lessons can happen anywhere, anytime, fitting seamlessly into your busy schedule. This is especially helpful for students with extracurricular activities or commitments.

Engaging technology: Interactive whiteboards, screen sharing, and other digital tools can make learning more dynamic and visually appealing, increasing focus and engagement.

Cost-effectiveness: Online tutoring can be more affordable than in-person options, eliminating travel costs and saving you time.

Reduced distractions: The familiar and comfortable environment of home can minimise distractions, allowing for better focus and concentration during lessons.

Improved time management: Students learn to navigate technology and manage their time effectively, preparing them for the digital world and independent learning.

Recorded sessions: Review past lessons for reinforcement or clarification at any time, solidifying understanding and promoting self-directed learning.

Confident communication: Online interactions can encourage some students to overcome shyness and express themselves more comfortably, boosting communication skills.

It's important to remember that both face-to-face and online tutoring have their strengths. The best choice depends on your child's individual needs and learning style.
