Private tutor - Nicholas Counsell

Masters degree

/ 30 min

Class overview

I work with students to discover which areas they require support in. Often in the school education system, classes can move on to a new topic before a pupil has mastered the prerequisite skills. Once skills or topics a student requires extra time with have been identified, we break down the topic into small manageable chunks and practice questions to assess the students understanding. Similar questions will be revisited at a later date to ensure a student can identify the method used to solve these questions and retains the knowledge learnt. To ensure a dynamic learning experience in every lesson, I leverage various digital teaching tools, such as math whiteboards, interactive games and visualization tools. These tools help in creating interactive lessons, where a students understanding is continually assessed throughout the lesson.

Nicholas - Know your tutor

I am a fully qualified Maths Teacher (PGCE and a BSC in Maths from Manchester University) with over a decade of tutoring experience. I have worked in a number of secondary schools around Greater Manchester, delivering KS3 and KS4 Maths lessons. I have additionally used my maths and science skills to work in private industry and researching healthcare in the NHS. My experience has provided me the skills to tailor session to the individuals personality and learning style. I have experience teaching many students with special education needs such as dyslexia and autism and believe strongly in helping neurodivergent students to recognise and utilise their associated strengths. I have consistently helped the vast majority of students meet their target grades through incorporating strategies to optimise study habits and minimise stress into lesson plans when tutoring, teaching students how to use their study time efficiently and methods to improve their ability to recall how to solve problems. These learning strategies can be utilised for all subjects, ensuring sustainable success by setting students up with ability to learn efficiently, crucial for the dynamic job market they will enter in the future.
