Approach to tutoring
Emily is driven by the ability to enhance and improve the academic potential of all students. She is passionate about sharing the joy and rewards of truly refining the strengths and weaknesses of students capabilities. Emily takes a personalised approach to each individual student in order to maximise results and cater to the different learning style of each student.
Emily will begin by understanding the most prominent areas of refinement for a student and works progressively to distill confidence in the student by working on any weaker areas. She provides highly extensive feedback which encourages the students to maximise the possibilities of truly clarifying their writing style or inherent work ethic.
Emily focuses on teaching students in a manner which fosters an inquisitive nature and actively encourages the student to not only improve at a subject but come to enjoy it. Emily is passionate about building the academic potential of each student and strongly believes tutoring works best if it remains malleable to the individual student.
