Ishani Badala

Hello! I'm Ishani, a second-year medical student at the University of St Andrews, with a strong academic foundation and a deep interest in helping others learn. I completed the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme with high scores in biology, chemistry, physics, and mathematics, and I now apply those same subjects daily in medical school.

I have prior teaching experience both in formal and informal settings. I've worked as a school teacher and led study groups for peers and juniors, which has helped me develop an adaptive and empathetic teaching style. I understand how intimidating academic pressure can be and aim to build a learning space that feels comfortable, confidence-boosting, and intellectually engaging.

My lessons are entirely tailored to your level and learning goals. Whether you're preparing for GCSEs, A-levels, or the IB, I’ll help you break down difficult topics into simple concepts using diagrams, analogies, and active recall techniques. I also like to incorporate past paper questions to prepare you thoroughly for exams.

I offer one-on-one sessions, either online or in person (when possible), and I’m happy to adjust the pace or style of teaching depending on your preference. Whether you’re a visual learner, need more structure, or want fast-paced revision, I’ll work with you to get the most out of each session.

If you're looking for someone enthusiastic, supportive, and committed to your academic success, feel free to reach out. I’d love to help you meet your goals!
