I believe that tutoring is not just about teaching topics that students find difficult, but giving them the tools and skills so that they can better tackle those topics in the future. My lessons are centered around not only explaining things in an accessible way, but giving students tips so that they can remember this information going forward. This will help students to achieve in exams and develop a love for the subject. My teaching skills have been developed through previous experience, whether coaching students for Oxbridge admissions, leading STEM courses in a Chinese summer camp, or helping students ahead of their GCSE and A-Level exams. All these experiences have helped me to develop the best methods for tutoring biology! When I was studying at Oxford, I really enjoyed the style of the biology tutorials there. I like to bring a bit of that style into my tutoring sessions and have a proper discussion with students about the topics they are learning about. I think this helps students to really understand the subject and find a passion for it.
