I have recently graduated from University College London with a First Class Masters degree in Neuroscience. Prior to this I completed an undergraduate degree in Physiological Science (biomedical sciences) at the University of Bristol.

I am currently working at a kids club whilst also working on a Neuroscience research project. I plan to start a PhD in Neuroscience next September.

Tutoring Experience

GCSE
I have experience tutoring for biology, chemistry, physics, English and geography at GCSE level.

I have previously worked with students with dyslexia and ADHD at GCSE level, which has taught me to be adaptable as a tutor and how to respond the unique learning styles of each student.

I also worked closely with younger members of my family, assisting them in biology, chemistry and physics.

University
Tutoring a second year student in biomedical sciences provided me with experience for tutoring at an advanced academic level.

At university I often supported my peers with their learning and enjoyed leading revision sessions.

Tutoring Approach

As a recent masters graduate, I am very experienced in studying for exams. I enjoy passing on techniques I have developed from my own learning as well as helping students to progress their own learning style. During sessions I like to focus on exam technique, as well as subject content. Focusing on exam technique has helped my previous students to dramatically increase their grades.

I have learnt that working through examples and past papers is a great way to develop a students understanding and confidence. However, as everyone learns in different ways, the most important thing is to adapt to the learning style of the tutee. Therefore, I am keen to discover what works best for the tutee in order to develop their learning as much as possible.

Most importantly I believe tutoring sessions should be enjoyable and a positive experience. This allows students to get the most out of each session and to reach their full potential.
