Tutor Teaching Style
In tutoring, my focus is always on ensuring that content is fully understood, not just remembered. IB examinations - particularly in the social sciences - are based on the argumentation, application, and analysis of course content, so memorisation is not enough. For this reason, I give students numerous learning strategies they can use to properly grasp the content for an exam.
Typically, I first want to talk to the student and fully understand their struggles, worries, and problems with a particular subject. This discussion is useful in devising a proper tutoring strategy for future sessions and preparing to appreciate exercises ahead of time. Sometimes, however, it's preferable to go straight into work with the student. For instance, going through a past assignment or doing a close reading of a text so that the student’s main problems come to light.
