Shanessa Mak

I’m a medical student at the University of St Andrews, having achieved 4A* in A-levels (Biology, Chemistry, Maths and Physics) and 10 Grade 9s at GCSE. I am a passionate advocate for education and mentorship, and I’m committed to help students excel in their exams. I volunteered as a maths mentor during Secondary School, and I'm currently part of the Peer-Assisted Learning Scheme (PALS) committee at St Andrews.

I’ll design my tutoring sessions to be interactive and student focused, by encouraging active questioning to reinforce the student’s understanding. I will consistently reference the relevant board specifications and include past paper exam questions. With a patient and approachable teaching style, I will create a supportive learning environment where students feel well-prepared for their exams.
