Agree how lessons will work

Clear instructions

Ask for the task to be stated directly, with a worked example if helpful. Check what the command word requires before beginning.

A predictable sequence

An outline can show when explanation, practice and review will happen. Agree how changes to the plan should be communicated.

Room for precision

Discuss where a model is useful and where it simplifies reality. Questions about exceptions can become part of understanding the concept.

Frequently asked questions

Will the tutor assume I learn best through diagrams?

They should ask. Diagrams help some learners, while others prefer text or a spoken explanation. Share what makes a scientific idea easier to follow for you.

Can we practise unfamiliar exam questions?

Yes. Start by identifying what is known, what is being asked and which principle applies. Use questions for your actual board and tier.
