...am very excited to be working with Varsity Tutors. I love being able to work with students in a one-on-one setting; for students to truly grasp difficult concepts, they must be able to discuss the material freely with their teacher, which is rarely possible in a classroom setting. For writing especially, one-on-one tutoring is essential to developing one's skills. As a Varsity Tutor, I hope to not only strengthen students' writing and academic performance, but...

The buzz of excitement in my class over this new instalment was electric and so I channelled the children's energy into a creative writing session. I came into school dressed as one of the characters from the books (Professor McGonagall), we looked at the film trailers from the films and we listened to...

...give up. Tutoring can be fun and can help school be an interesting and productive place! It is my job to present the curriculum differently, in a way the student can relate to and understand.
