I am a fourth year medical student who is enthusiastic about sharing my knowledge of subjects and working with students to improve their self-confidence. I really enjoyed learning the content for exams and I want to help others to do the same. I offer tutoring both online and in-person.

I have over four years of experience in Maths, Chemistry and English tutoring. I work with students and parents to set individual goals, as every student has a different learning style and works at a different pace. With these goals in mind, I structure sessions to build up any areas the student is struggling with, coming back to these areas in later sessions to build up their long term memory.

I also help students with their exam technique, as answering questions to get every single mark can be challenging. In lessons, I usually start by covering content that the student wants to go over, followed by some exam questions on the same topic. This helps students to develop skills that can be applied throughout all exams, reinforces knowledge from the lesson and give space to discuss any specific challenges that come up when answering questions.

In the past I have struggled with academic confidence and know how much this can hinder performance in exams, especially when paired with difficult content. Due to this, I think that it’s really important to encourage students and build up their confidence, so this is a part of my tutoring. I would describe myself and my methods as being constructive, encouraging and patient.
