For most students, biology doesn't seem that hard. The content isn't that intimidating and if you put in the time, more often than not results will follow.
I believe that tutoring for a student should be a safe zone space where they can make mistakes. Tutoring does not have the same pressue for a student that school can, as such it is important for a biology tutor to be patient and adaptive when a student is struggling with a concept. A tutor should welcome mistakes as an opportunity to grow. I also…
The most important thing a biology tutor can do isn't just to lead them to the right answers but help them build confidence and self-motivation. As a tutor, I aim to help students develop independence. For me, a successful teacher is someone who can guide students to no longer needing one. I am quick to identify the strengths and weaknesses of…
Establishing clear boundaries while being friendly and approachable; there is friendliness but understanding you are there to help them succeed. I draw a strong line that there is time for things, and the time spent with me is to learn and grow. Assisting students to see the value of education and inspiring a genuine appreciation for it are also…
Communication is effective and is able to foster a relationship with them to be able to gain, engage and enhance a students understanding in an area of struggle. Having taught a variety of students with different learning styles and needs, being able to break down the complex theory of things into simple explanations for them to understand and…
As above, affirming their limitations JUST AS MUCH as their strengths - affirm, affirm, affirm! I believe the most fundamental truth is found in admitting and celebrating weakness. I would prioritise my strengths as:
- enthusiasm
- pedantic attention to detail
- strong synthesising skills and understanding across a wide range of…
I believe helping the student understand in their own way and time is the most important thing for them. Every student is different and requires different levels of attention or ways to learn different things. So understanding and respecting them is the always important to me. I believe also being knowledgeable is very important also. I’m…
Providing the right resources and support both academically and personally. Although possessing good academic knowledge is great, success comes from having good support and balance in every aspect of life. That is why I believe supporting students in a holistic manner is an important trait of a biology tutor. I am patient and understanding. I…
We have no doubt the extra tutoring with Mina got Jamison over the line for a solid band 6.
Tahlia and Jonah are getting along very well so far and Tahlia appears to be taking on board the information that Jonah is giving her. Tahlia is enjoying her tutoring sessions and it doesn't feel like an hour to her.
Dorcas is a very patient tutor, she has lots of experience and is good with children. She is willing to go the extra mile and my son has been improving under her guidance.
Biology tutoring in Muirlea
For most students, biology doesn't seem that hard. The content isn't that intimidating and if you put in the time, more often than not results will follow.
No wonder most students get discouraged once they move up the curriculum. Getting the results becomes less about putting in the hours by going over the concepts and more about structuring the knowledge and connecting the dots. It's not simple revision anymore, and without someone to guide them, students can easily lose focus.
If you are thinking about finding someone to support your child's learning, we can match you with a local biology tutor in Muirlea.
We've found that through guided learning, students are more likely to pick up skills they can use to learn other subjects and even make good decisions in their personal life as well. All we need is to have a chat with you so we can figure out what kind of support your child needs.
And this is how it works.
The tutoring is done at your home or a local library, wherever works for you. And the fees are simple - just an hourly rate, no extra fees.
The first lesson comes as a risk-free trial with a money-back guarantee. That means if for whatever reason your child doesn't click with the tutor right away, no need to worry - you let us know and we set up another trial.
As simple as that.
