Benjamin

I'm a 4th year medicine student studying at the University of Cambridge with a II.i in natural sciences specialising in neuroscience. I enjoy the sciences and the challenges they bring and hope that I can inspire the same love of science in any prospective students, but I know for many science is a reluctant necessity. I'm a friendly and enthusiastic teacher with a passion for education who will always go the extra mile to see my students succeed in their goals, whatever they may be.

Tutoring Approach

My approach tailors lessons to the difficulties and problems faced by the individual and can focus on improving conceptual understanding as well as phrasing and exam technique to improve results. This involves exploring and fulfilling the course specification criteria and can include further depth and information tailored to the students interest, allowing students to go above and beyond the curriculum to pursue their interests.

I'm happy to teach students of all capabilities and no question is too small nor any answer too big to be tackled together. I aim to make my lessons engaging and interactive to bring out the greatness in any student!
