NORTHAMPTONSHIRE
I am a fifty-five year old German citizen, who moved to England to study
Buddhist philosophy eighteen years ago. My home is in Thornby, a small village
between Leicester and Northampton. Due to increasing requests tuition became my
main occupation in 2013. I began tutoring during my chemistry study, from which
I attained a Masters of Science in Chemistry (first class degree) and a PhD in
Biochemistry (first class degree). One of my pupils was a medical student, who
did not like chemistry. He tried to memorise all chemical formulae for his exam.
After the basic rules were explained he was able to derive equations without
much effort. Later he said „I did not know chemistry was so easy“. With each new
client I begin with a thorough assessment: What kind of person he or she is,
what basic knowledge is present and what are the main problem areas? Then a
tutoring plan is suggested to reach the goal in a reasonable time frame. My
emphasis lies on building up a solid foundation of knowledge and the skills to
apply it. LESSONS Lessons are individually tailored to the needs of the student
and designed to be entertaining yet challenging. Their interview style keeps the
tutee focused and engaged. Examples of daily life are incorporated and
comparisons drawn with situations from sport and hobbies. Sometimes we even do
small chemistry experiments (don’t worry parents – only harmless ones – the
kitchen will not blow up!).
