Alisa

As a dedicated and experienced tutor, I have spent over three years helping students from diverse backgrounds excel in their academic pursuits. I specialize in creating a positive and enriching learning environment where every student can thrive. My academic credentials include 4 A* grades at A-level in Maths, Biology, Chemistry, and Physics, and 11 A*s and As at GCSE. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Neuroscience from UCL and am currently pursuing an MBA in Business.

With specialized knowledge in Educational Psychology and a focus on Educational Neuroscience, I design customized lesson plans that address the unique needs of each student. By understanding their individual goals and learning styles, I tailor my approach to maximize their potential.

My teaching goes beyond the syllabus, ensuring a deep understanding of fundamental concepts. This method boosts confidence and equips students with the skills needed to tackle complex problems with ease.

Having been a student myself, I know exactly what it takes to succeed academically. I provide targeted guidance on what to study and which model answers to master for top results. In response to the educational disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, I offer flexible tutoring sessions that fit seamlessly into your schedule. My dedication to your success means we will focus on the critical content required for school assessments, especially when exams are canceled.

I encourage students to actively review and reinforce school material with me. This supportive environment helps them master the content more effectively than studying alone. Given the current reliance on school-based assessments, this approach is more valuable than ever.

Don`t let academic challenges hold you back. As your tutor, I will guide you on the path to academic excellence and personal growth. Together, we will unlock your full potential and achieve the outstanding results you deserve. I believe that trust and rapport are the foundation of effective learning. My tutoring philosophy revolves around building these strong relationships, ensuring that each student feels supported and motivated to achieve their best.

Experience: My teaching approach leverages the latest educational technology to enhance comprehension and foster active participation among students. I am committed to creating an engaging and dynamic learning environment where your child can thrive.

Tailored Initial Lessons: In our first lesson, we embark on a thorough journey through the syllabus. We meticulously examine potential exam questions to identify areas of weakness or gaps in knowledge. These areas become our focal points in subsequent sessions, ensuring a customized learning experience tailored to your child’s needs.

Effective Learning Materials: For each topic, I prepare instructive PowerPoint presentations, complemented by three to four recurring past-paper questions. This method ensures students grasp the essential points required for full marks in longer, more complex questions. Together, we construct exemplary model answers for these key questions, providing a clear blueprint for success.

Comprehensive Session Support: All materials covered in our sessions will be promptly emailed to you, accompanied by supplementary summarizing notes to facilitate effective study and memorization. This ensures that your child has continuous access to resources that reinforce learning outside of our sessions.

Focused Exam Preparation: Subsequent sessions are dedicated to rigorous examination preparation. We systematically tackle past paper questions, dissect challenging concepts, and hone sophisticated exam techniques. This structured approach builds confidence and proficiency in handling various types of exam questions.

Interactive and Engaging Lessons: A typical lesson with me begins with an in-depth exploration of PowerPoint presentations, covering all relevant information on the topic. These presentations include regular questions to reinforce knowledge and encourage interactive engagement. Once we have thoroughly covered the material and addressed all inquiries, we transition to practicing past paper questions tailored to the specific topic. These questions span multiple formats, from multiple-choice to complex 6-mark queries, each requiring a distinct approach.

Flexible and Accessible Support: I encourage my students to reach out for impromptu sessions whenever questions arise during their studies or if they need assistance with school assignments. My virtual door is always open, and students can contact me via email at any time. This ensures that your child receives continuous support, fostering a sense of security and confidence in their academic journey.

Student-Centered Approach: Rather than replicating the stress of a traditional classroom setting, I emphasize flexibility and adaptability. This approach ensures that our lessons are geared toward addressing specific challenges, facilitating your child’s success in a supportive and encouraging environment.

By choosing me as your child’s tutor, you are investing in a comprehensive, personalized, and effective tutoring experience. Together, we will unlock your child`s full potential and achieve the remarkable results they aspire to.
