About Matthew
I've been tutoring (on and off) since I was a teenager. Over the years I've developed my own style of teaching.
I like to be flexible, finding and working with a student's learning style. I'm happy to try out different things and be creative or think about things from a new angle if necessary. Actually, that's part of what I enjoy about teaching - it makes me think differently about things I 'already know', and deepen my understanding of them, which I can then use to help others understand more easily.
I aim for students to get a secure, basic, intuitive understanding of the concepts behind the topic, so they understand what they're doing and why, and can use the tools naturally and for their own purposes. The rationale for this is partly that time spent securing the basics is time saved later on, and partly that this is what I think of as 'real' teaching, which I find interesting and satisfying.
At the same time, I aim to get on with students and make lessons more like a pleasure than a chore, since I think learning done right can and should be fun.
If this sounds like it might suit you, I'd be happy to hear from you.
Note: I have a recent DBS certificate, but as far as I can tell it's not possible to get an enhanced one as an individual, only through an organisation.
