Hi, my name is Luke and I am a first year university student studying natural sciences at the University of Leeds. My teaching style is based around asking questions. We break down syllabus topics into a series of questions that we can discuss and answer together in order to solidify your understanding of the content. Once the content is understood we will employ techniques which will help you remember the content. One of these techniques is called active recall, where you actively call up previously learnt information from your brain instead of just rereading your notes on the topic. Not only will this strengthen the neural pathways involved in remembering this information so you can recall the information quicker and easier in the future, it will also show you exactly what parts of the content that hasn’t quite stuck, which you may need to go over again. This is really efficient as it means you wont have to waste too much time going through the content you already know. I have previously done some mentoring in college, as part of a buddy system, where I showed one of my mentees, who had difficulty remembering definitions, a memory technique in which you turn the words into images and you create a visual story in your head that you can use to recall the information. Aside from helping you learn course content, I would also be happy to share with you some of the tips and tricks I have picked up over the years for making studying slightly less mind-numbing.
