Key Concepts in Science, GCSE and Exam Technique Tutoring

The best way to build confidence and increase grades is to help students attain marks in assessments. I focus a lot on exam technique, working on practice questions with students to observe trends in the questions asked and mark schemes. Working in this way means students understand how examiners expect them to answer certain questions so that they don’t have to guess in the exam.

I also focus on building logical and problem-solving skills in students, so that students are able to solve any problem that they encounter in science and outside of the science curriculum. I also ensure to work on maths skills, as these make up a large part of physics exams but are also needed in biology and chemistry.

Maths, Physics, Computer Science: Coaching, homework help - exam preparation
My classes cover all levels from primary to upper secondary. It's important to ensure continuity with your child's teacher's course. Therefore, I will only use my course if necessary. It's important not to duplicate the documents in order to simplify things. 1 + 1 will always equal 2. Theory is the foundation, but practice is essential. Examples are very important for understanding mathematical, physics, and computer science concepts. That's why each theorem will be followed by an example and several exercises. The number of steps will depend on the student's level. Their intelligence has nothing to do with it; it's their motivation and self-confidence that drive their success. I'll give them what they need to assimilate at their own pace all the concepts that school requires them to master. It's also important to have a methodology. By breaking down difficult concepts into simpler ones, we obtain building blocks that simply need to be assembled to understand the entire problem. Teachers neglect this aspect and don't revisit concepts they think they've learned, which is why many students drop out of school. Mathematics is also used in other subjects. It is perfectly possible to cover concepts used in physics, chemistry, or economics if necessary. I also teach courses in these disciplines. I prefer distance learning to avoid travel. However, sometimes students or parents may want me to travel to the area. This is possible after the first class, in the Brussels area.
