I have a Master's degree in Molecular Biosciences and a Bachelor's in Biochemistry and Pharmacology. I am interested in helping students the way I needed help to reach my goals all those years ago. I remember being on both sides of the coin when it came to learning STEM subjects in school, where I struggled to keep up my grades. But with the help of tutoring not only did I become confident in my subjects but I became eager to stay ahead of the curve. So, whether you are a student looking to keep ahead of the syllabus or you are just falling behind and require a helping hand, I assure you that I will try my best to reach the goal you have set for yourself.
In my lessons, initially we will begin with a paper where I can gauge your current understanding of the subject. I know that the idea of a paper may sound daunting to some, but this is simply the best way for me to know what content you understand and don't. From there we will go over anything you struggled on with an approach that is best suited for you, whether it is through diagrams and a slower pace or a more back and forth way of teaching to keep your mind engaged. At the end of each section I typically ask a few question in order see if you've understood the content that has just been presented, and will begin the next session with the same questions to see if you've retained the information. When exam season approaches we will begin to go through more papers together where I encourage you to think out loud to show your thought process and will comment where necessary with exam tips that will help you prevent mistakes.
These are my initial approaches when taking on new students, however if you have a certain unit/topic you would like to go through instead, please let me know beforehand so I can better prepare for your lesson.
