Everyone is different. Over the years I have found that people learn and digest new information differently, so I tend to vary my approach depending on you. For instance, some may prefer auditory information or examples, whilst others may prefer visual cues. This can also help a student become aware of thier strengths and weakness so we can pick the best material to focus on.

I use a wide range of teaching resources and concepts to suit each person, some of which are listed below. Check out the resources page to see what sort of things you could be exploring.
