Approach to tutoring

Ashish is an advocate for learning through understanding and mastering concepts, so that minimal memorisation is required. While content is very important to Ashish, he recognises that there are other important elements to doing well, such as exam technique and time management, and thus approaches tutoring in a holistic manner. Ashish works with students to identify their strengths and address their weakness. From there he creates an action plan with students to maximise sessions and help students achieve their goals.
