My background

"Recently graduated from the University of Bristol in 2019 with a Masters in Mechanical Engineering. I really enjoy practical sciences and often find that maths isn't considered to be practical or useful in some students' eyes.
In my private tutor lessons I like to work through the problems that the student is having, allowing them to dictate the focus of the session. We then approach the problems in different ways and explain the uses of the mathematical principles showing meaning to the maths beyond the scope of their syllabus. This I believe is crucial, as it develops a fuller understanding and a more problem solving approach which can be implemented during exams without having to work through tedious exercises which just become a memory game. With that said I am fully aware of the nuances of public exams and the requirements to fulfill the specifications of the mark scheme, which I will also work through with the student and so developing their mathematical development and exam practice to achieve the grades they are aspiring to.
