Rishi

I am passionate about learning and create a nurturing, stimulating, fun and warm environment for my students. It`s important to me that they feel confident and relaxed, and be unafraid to take risks and make mistakes. Each child I work with is an individual and I pay attention to their personalities and learning habits, making sure they receive exactly the kind of support and encouragement they need to do their very best.

I continually research new teaching methods/techniques/tricks that will help my students find new pathways to successful learning (and remembering all those important exam techniques and information!) If something does not work with a student, I make sure to find a better way of working that will suit them.

I feel strongly that learning should be enjoyable and instill a sense of confidence, accomplishment and self-esteem, as well as teaching self-discipline and self-motivation. Through studying and learning, you grow as a human being and discover that you are capable of things you previously thought impossible. This is best done in a one-to-one environment, where the student receives a deep level of personal attention and encouragement from their tutor.
I advocate a Socratic approach to learning – one in which the teacher leads through questioning, encouraging the student to use their own mind to seek answers and find solutions. As such, I believe in a flexible teaching approach that is sensitive to each individual’s needs, strengths/weaknesses and personal goals.
