I specialize in tutoring chemistry and biology for IGCSE and IB students. I am a slow learner that takes time to process new information. This makes me very patient. Also, it means that acknowledge the importance of differences in learning style between students and accommodate for this. Because I am a slow learner, I would go the extra mile in highschool and at university by organizing revision sessions and getting extra practice papers from my teachers. This allowed me to get A*s in my IGCSEs and a score of 41 in my IB. Academic success is about understanding what examiners are looking for I aim to help students improve by building their confidence and allowing them to become independent learners, which is a skill that will be required throughout their academic careers. Indeed, my aim is to teach students how to revise for exams, but also to convince students that being academically successful is achievable when one understands what examiners are looking for, for instance by: a. finding patterns in past papers b. close examination of the course syllabus, which contains many clues and often the written answers to questions that will be asked during examinations The points above are particularly relevant in the sciences (though it also applies to other subjects). In biology, for instance, memorizing the process of DNA replication from a Biology HL textbook may not actually give the student full marks, as examiners are looking for specific points relating to this process, some of which may be more intuitive than others. The key is to look at the syllabus, past papers and the markschemes, as well as the recommended textbook to provide insightful answers.
