Distilled Tuition is ran by Lewis Monaco, a qualified Maths Teacher who has been tutoring for over 10 years. His passions are building strong 1:1 relationships with the students he works with, and sharing his excitement for Maths.
He loves helping students to relate Maths to their interests, better understand any challenges they’re facing, and then working with them to achieve their goals.
In Lewis’ mind, every student is motivated to try their best once they find the right balance of patience, hard work and fun. From the first session, Lewis works to understand his students’ relationships with Maths, and school more broadly, and his approach is built on listening to his students and building their capacity to drive their own studies.
Our Approach
Our mission is to help every student achieve their best in Maths, beginning with understanding where they are in their Maths journey, and where they want to get to.
This begins by getting to know our students better – What their favourite subjects are, their hobbies and interests, whether they know what they want to do once they finish school yet, and what they’re most passionate about – Usually, we discover students naturally don’t like Maths because they find it hard, and unfortunately all too often they haven’t connected with the people teaching it.
Once we understand where our student is currently at, we talk about where they want to get to. For many of our students, tutoring’s all about extra tine in a 1:1 context to focus on exactly what they need help with. Sometimes, Maths might be a prerequisite they just need a hand getting through. Other times, our students want extra help to build a deeper understanding.
We’re really excited about working with our students, to empower them in their studies. One of the most exciting parts of our work is seeing our students’ confidence in Maths increase, which often lifts their attitudes and motivation.
