Jasper Bates

I tailor my lessons specifically towards the student, working on topics studied in class that are more challenging. I get to know the student's baseline knowledge of a topic before filling in the gaps in a student-first approach. Building up to exams I switch focus towards completing past papers as this is the best way to get the experience to pursue the top grades in GCSE and A level, explaining specific exam techniques that drastically increase scores.

As a Cambridge medical student I have first-hand experience of the questions asked in Medicine interviews, showing ways in which students can use details in their personal statement and wider reading to best answer the often complex scientific questions.

I am a friendly face and aim to make my sessions a place for students to feel at ease without judgement, as opposed to how normal school lessons can sometimes feel. I am a keen sportsman and love football, rugby and tennis!
