About Talie
I am a Physics undergraduate at Durham University with a mission to make STEM subjects both accessible and high-scoring for my students. Having achieved 3 A*s at A-Level (Physics, Maths, and Computer Science), I understand the leap in difficulty from GCSE to A-Level and the specific "traps" that exam boards set.
I tailor each lesson to my students' difficulties, whether these are knowledge gaps or academic confidence. I do this with bespoke and specialist slides, which allow my students to achieve their full potential.
I specifically design my slides and lessons to closely follow the required specification, ensuring they are equipped with all the understanding and knowledge to tackle any exam paper they encounter. From my experience, I find it makes worlds of difference to a student if they are exposed to content slightly above their current level, as sometimes this additional insight can make everything else *click*. This is because often some scientific ideas are "overly simplified" for the academic stage, and by cutting out key details and explanations, it actually complicates the matter.
My goal is to ensure my students are not just regurgitating remembered knowledge, but actually understanding it and all of its applications so they can tackle difficult questions on unfamiliar topics.

So, I find a good lesson starts best by easing in the student and ramping up, very commonly academic confidence is what holds students back, not necessarily their knowledge so I intend to help in this issue throughout all my lessons. I often start with a little recap of last lesson and answering any questions the student may have from last time after the content has properly sunk in. By sharing my screen on an iPad, I walk through the pre-prepared slides and carefully explain and elaborate on all points that are included as well as focusing on any areas which the student has shown less ability.
I try and keep a 60/40 split between teaching content and going over questions however this split can certainly change depending on the student, their needs, and how close exams may be. I find this approach is best as many students may have "understood" the content taught however do not yet have the ability to apply it to questions. Questions illuminate weak points which then influence future lessons and questions tackled. The Questions that the student and I tackle can be put in a few categories: conceptual understanding (asked throughout the slideshow), "out of the box thinking" questions and then finally exam board specific past paper questions. This method ensures total confidence and success in the students exams regardless of level.
Lastly, depending on the student and what works best with them, I may set optional questions to work through before the next lesson which can then be looked over.
