Hello,
I'm Samantha. I'm 18 years old and I offer online tutoring for Mathematics and Science. I graduated high school at the top of my A Level maths and science (biology, chemistry and physics) class, achieving 5 A*s. Hence, I have a strong foundation and passion for these subjects. Currently, I am going to start university to get a Bachelor's in Engineering.

For online tutoring, I do not mind any platform but prefer to use Whereby. The platform allows me to video call, share my screen, and it also has an interactive whiteboard integrated into it (both the student and I can edit what's on it at the same time). This is great to work through problems together as it allows the student to communicate what the student doesn't understand. Additionally, I also use a tablet so that any annotations, working out, or labelling is clear.

During my sessions, I like to start by recapping previous topics we've covered by trying practice questions to make sure she keeps building on what the student has learned. Then, I continue to the topics planned for that session.

To help my students excel, if applicable, I prepare summary sheets and worksheets filled with relevant practice questions for them to practice.

I can also prepare a stress-free diagnostic test to identify any gaps of knowledge in her the student's foundation which will be the first thing we work on to solidify. From there, through back and forth communication and by using the digital learning materials, we can adjust the content, pace of the session and create a teaching plan.

As someone who has just gone through the high school education system, not only is the content fresh in my mind but I am up to date on good exam techniques to know and can provide tips and encouragement. I understand first-hand the impact COVID has had on our education. So, my aim is to also alleviate the extra challenges students have when transitioning between online and offline school.

I like to start by recapping previous topics we've covered by trying practice questions to make sure the students keep building on what the student has learned. Then, I continue to the topics planned for that session. For new topics, I like to start by covering the content using a presentation. For science, this will be more content-based while for maths, this will be question-based (showing my thinking process of how I approach different types of questions, giving a step-by-step method).
