My name is Pihu Tewari, and I am a third-year medical student at the University of Bristol. With several years of teaching and tutoring experience, I am passionate about making learning engaging and effective for my students.

A little bit more about me:
• Outstanding Academic Record: In my IB exams, I scored an impressive 44/45 with 7/7 in all my Higher Levels (Biology, Chemistry, Psychology), as well as Maths AA SL and French. This is equivalent to all A* results in the A-level curriculum.
• UCAT Excellence: I achieved a score of 2930/3600 in my medical school entrance exam, placing me in the top 6% globally in my year
• Medical School Success: I received interviews and offers from all 4 medical schools I applied to, including Newcastle, Sheffield, Birmingham, and Bristol, showcasing the quality of my personal statements and interview skills.
• DBS Certified: Ensuring a safe and trustworthy learning environment.

I started teaching back in year 10, when I opened a learning centre at my school to teach English to underprivileged children in my neighbourhood back home in India. I worked with these children for over 2 years, using my knowledge of effective learning methods as a student to help these children communicate fluently in English despite not being exposed to the language much before. It was here that I first learnt the importance of personalising teaching for each student—when every student comes with their own needs and preferences, there is nothing more important then finding a unique and flexible approach to teaching that is fit specifically for them.

For the past two years, since I have started university, I have also been helping students across the UK with 11+ exam preparation, as well as tutoring KS3 and GCSE mathematics. This period of teaching has strengthened my skills as a tutor and given me experience with teaching students of a variety of ages and backgrounds.
