I find the tutorial method of teaching so productive: when you run a tutorial you can shape your teaching to the way your student actually learns. If something comes easily you can move on to more challenging material, while if something isn’t working you can change your approach immediately.

I am enthusiastic about teaching, and particularly the tutorial method, because I think it allows for one-on-one interaction and attention to a student’s own individual needs, developing strengths and improving weaknesses, allowing a student to become more independent and responsible for learning at their greatest potential.

A good teaching method is one that is inspiring, so that what your student takes home is not just knowledge but a mind that will seek out more knowledge.

The Oxford tutorial method is one of the most distinctive and recognized in the world, as it gives students ample amounts of opportunity to explore their own ideas and discuss them freely without any hesitation with their tutors. And for a passionate teacher like me, this is the best possible way to serve students and in turn society.

The one-to-one tutorial teaching method used by Greene’s allows A-level/ GCSE students to comfortably ask any questions during tutorial. With properly personal-tailored guidance and mentoring, student’s imagination is often captured by such subjects and their full potential can therefore be realised...It is amazing to see many of my students drastically improve over a relatively short period of time.

In my experience as a student, and now as a tutor, the tutorial system offers an opportunity to fully engage with each student’s particular interests and learning style – and this gives students the chance to really fulfil their potential. Tutorials allow for the exploration of a topic in the kind of depth that is simply not possible in a classroom or group teaching.
