Educational Background:
I am currently studying Medicine at the University of Birmingham, which has given me a strong foundation in the sciences and a deep understanding of the medical school admissions process.
My Experience:
With several years of tutoring experience, I have successfully guided numerous students through their GCSEs, A-Levels, and various admissions processes from grammar and private schools to medical school. My approach is tailored to each student’s unique needs, ensuring they gain a comprehensive understanding of the subject matter and develop effective study strategies.
How I Teach:
I believe that building rapport with students and getting them invested in the learning process is crucial. When students understand why they are studying a subject and how it will help them achieve their goals, each session becomes more productive and enjoyable.
I first provide well-rounded summaries of each topic to familiarise students with key concepts and buzzwords. Then, by attacking topics from every angle, I help students feel confident about what they understand and focus on areas that need improvement. I encourage active participation and critical thinking, making learning a dynamic and engaging experience.
I look forward to helping you achieve your academic goals and guiding you through your educational journey. Let's work together to unlock your full potential!
