Experienced Tutor with more than 7 years of experience

I have a Masters Degree in applied mathematics and have been teaching for more than 7 years. I am well organised: 1) identifying areas where students need some polish 2) emphasising structure and language; this helps with remembering 3) training students with formality and exam techniques: i) always wrtiing down formulae ii) explain how it ought to be rather than ovely verbose why it is incorrect iii) show methods that reduce the possibility of making errors iv) prioritising the use of number-types in working v) very importantly: layout when answering Qs, especially with exam paper format 4) emphasising similarities between seemingly different topics A lot of topics are / can be linear: i) ratio ii) proportion iii) straight lines iv) linear sequences and more The idea is nearly always y = mx and realising this can be key. 3) tracking student's progress and giving feedback This helps the student and myself understand the progress and specifically helps me plan lessons. 4) encouraging the student with positive reinforcement
