About Me

Having recently completed my A-levels, I understand the position that students are in and believe every student of mine has the ability to get through it. I am a seceond year medical student studying at the University of Cambridge, and achieved 4 A*s at A-Level. I am confident in delivering lessons online using Zoom and Google Docs. Through virtual learning, I wish to impart the knowledge and revision techniques that have helped me throughout my education.

About my sessions

I ensure each tutoring session is well-structured so that our time is used productively. If a student finds a topic challenging, I am flexible with timings and learning objectives. This is because my ultimate goal is to help students understand the topics that they struggle with whilst making learning enjoyable. I plan lessons in response to students' requests, using feedback from the previous week to set learning objectives for each session. I create worksheets to aid learning and can reword explanations using examples and stories where necessary, to meet the needs of my students. Finally, I know the importance of establishing goals in order to achieve the most out of tutoring. 

I have experience in tutoring younger children, having prepared a KS2 student for admissions tests. I therefore know how to adapt my sessions to maintain the focus and understanding of young students, e.g. by incorporating breaks and making learning relevant and fun. I have also worked with KS3 students as a Maths Classroom Assistant; in this role, I digested information quickly to approach questions which I had not seen before. As well as following lessons plans, I can also think on my feet to help students with any difficult school work they bring home. For older or GCSE students, I set assessments which we complete and mark during the lesson. As with all students, I regularly check progress against the goals the student outlined at the beginning of the year. 

The texts I have previously taught for GCSE English are: Jekyll and Hyde, Pride and Prejudice, An Inspector Calls, Macbeth, The Merchant of Venice and Love and Relationships Anthology. I am more than happy to learn other texts in order to teach your child. In English sessions, I guide the student through the analysis of language, form and structure whilst providing nuanced contextual points for each text.
