Medical student passionate about helping students reach their potential in the sciences. Offering engaging and flexible lessons

I hope to build truly comfortable and trusting relationships with my students, as I believe that confidence and self-belief are key aspects of making a successful learner. To achieve this, my sessions will be based on frequent feedback from the student and lesson plans that are truly tailored to their needs, moulding and adapting the resources and the teaching methods I use to suit their learning styles.

Typically, to make the most out of the session, I will initially use diagrams, concept maps and visual methods to help explain concepts or topics that the student wishes to cover. Accompanying this, I will actively refer back to either the syllabus or other specification lists to ensure we cover everything needed, ensuring the student feels confident that everything has been thoroughly explained. Then, I'll help guide the student through exam-style questions, helping consolidate the session's topics. Through this process, we'll be able to identify any gaps or misunderstandings in the student's knowledge and correct these, as well as highlight strengths in the student's answers, helping them to build confidence. I also think it important to incorporate spaced learning into future lessons by quickly recapping areas of weakness from past sessions to ensure the student will remember key information and truly grow as a learner with my guidance.

Alongside science tuition and help with IB and GCSEs specifically, I am also more than happy to help guide students through medical school applications, offering insight and advice for strong personal statements, interview preparation and UCAT testing.
