I work with pupils who are currently doing Nat 5 Chemistry, Nat 5 Maths and Higher Chemistry. I teach the full content of the SQA syllabus using on line resources with an additional focus on learning how to answer typical past paper questions. I describe this as becoming “street wise” – knowing which parts of the syllabus are regularly examined and knowing how to answer the questions in a way that gets maximum marks. This allows the most effective use of time and it means there are very few surprises come exam time. For example, in Higher Chemistry there has been a question on titration in the last 5 exams. That makes this topic particularly worthy of focus and revision – so I’d go through the questions and make sure that pupils understand what is being asked and together we work out how to answer the questions. There are many examples like this in both subjects and becoming “street wise” is really effective. My students really like this analytical approach to learning and working like this makes topics easier to remember. I never put any pressure on people to come up with the answers by themselves, as working as a team is far more effective and more enjoyable. I am also available at any time to help with any difficulties that arise out with the tutoring sessions.
