Question 1

Is there a consultation session?

Accepted Answer

Yes. I will need to speak to the pupil and/or parent/guardian to discuss things such as session regularity, access to technology and gain an understanding of the pupil and their needs.

The consultation can be over the phone or Zoom and is always free of charge. There is no commitment after this consultation whatsoever.

Question 2

What do your sessions consist of?

Accepted Answer

Factors such as age and access to technology will play a part, but activities in a session may include: helping with homework, reteaching misunderstood lesson content, revision for a class-test, or working consistently to improve exam technique using past-paper questions.

Question 3

What is your style of teaching?

Accepted Answer

I aim to foster curiosity in pupils by wearing my enthusiasm of the subject on my sleeve. I believe maths can be a very anxiety inducing subject, so I strive to provide a relaxed but motivated environment to promote confidence in students.

Question 4

What technology are you using?

Accepted Answer

An iPad 11 Pro with an Apple Magic Keyboard and Apple Pencil.

Question 5

Which video conferencing client do you use?

Accepted Answer

Zoom. I pay extra for a subscription, so you won't need to worry about meetings ending after 40 minutes!

Question 6

What interactive learning platform do you use?

Accepted Answer

I will use a combination of Zoom Whiteboards and Microsoft OneNote to annotate pupils' work live before filing away session notes for future refence.
