About me
I’m MJ and I I tutor students both online and also in Faversham, Kent, of any ability, who may be demotivated, have poor self-esteem, low confidence and believe that they are failures and can’t get the grades or catch up. I tell them there is no such word as can’t.
MJ will turn “cant’s” into cans and my students can, due my 8 years teaching experience and 10 years of tuition, with KS2 to KS4 mainly Maths and Science.
I work on forming a trusting relationship with my students, filling their individual gaps and their best way of learning and as teaching is my second career having worked in industry, I can couple tuition with real life experiences.
I do not believe in assessing students immediately; sometimes they will wonder why they are undertaking tuition if it is organised by the school or parent/carer. Therefore, they might be anxious, scared or resentful and annoyed that some of their free time has to be given up. After all students ’educational needs were compromised by the pandemic, so why should they bother?
It is at this point in the first session, the student immediately feels at ease. I realise most people would feel, if the first task they had to do if they were learning anything, was a test.
How boring! What a turn off!
