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.
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
1) Helping students to reach their academic goals through personalised teaching, assessments and making learning fun.
2) Listen to what they have to say about school, including their achievements and struggles, and provide the necessary support.
3) Always encourage the student and comment on their genuine attempts, hard work, improvements…
I have some results to report. Wari has sat three tests in the last week or so, the results are: Maths - 95.5%; Chemistry - 100%; Economics - 77% (no coaching in this subject). We are very happy with these results, especially the chemistry one as she has had the most trouble with that subject. Last week, before the Friday chemistry test they did two hours on chemistry, she found the lessons very hard, but the following test very straight forward. In the maths test, she actually did all the calculations correctly but lost marks for rounding an answer incorrectly and rounding a couple of other answers when she shouldn't have! We are very happy with Alexander's teaching, although we are not sitting in the room, he sounds very clear and concise. Another very important thing to consider is that she is very happy with her results and is gaining more self confidence, and, I think, is generally more relaxed and happy with life.
More importantly, I want to let you know that Hannah, Peter and I are very happy with Phal - she's super smart, friendly and a great communicator. She's lifted Hannah's confidence within a few short weeks and, circumstances permitting, we look forward to a long and productive tutoring association with her.
I am 100% satisfied with your company and Rick, Alanahs tutor. I will definately call on you if the need arises again and won't hesitate in recommending you if anyone I know required tutoring services.
Biology tutoring in West Ipswich
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 West Ipswich.
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.
