My mantra for tutoring is that there is no poor student, only poor teaching and with this in mind my tutoring approach will vary according to the needs of the students. For every educational situation, however, I have my 'teaching toolkit': How can I contextualise learning? How can I make it relevant and interesting? How can I make it the knowledge learnt easy to apply? What other skills can I develop and facilitate? One student may find problem solving fascinating, another may hate this and prefer to learn by rote. My tutoring approach is to cater for the needs of the students and create a flexible (and ultimately enjoyable) learning experience. I tend to very closely follow humanist and constructivist models of education but believe that all methods of learning should and could be used. I desire for all of my students to not just gain knowledge but gain the essential life and work skills. To summarise - what ever I teach you, you can apply to real life situations.
