Personal Description: My name's Sam and I'm an undergraduate student studying Biology at Newcastle University. I chose Biology as a degree because I find it really fascinating and it's been my favourite subject throughout my education, so it was obvious for me to carry on my interests to the next level. English Language is another favourite and was one of my best subjects at school and college and I love to read poetry and literature and well as write some of my own. I'm the type of person who finds anything fascinating so I'm more than happy talking/learning about anything from Japanese culture to Salvador Dali!

Outside of the academic I have the same generic interests as most students; I like to listen to music, keep fit, hang out with friends and try new and interesting things.

Tutoring Experience: Although I haven't tutored professionally before, I have undertaken a number of roles that make me more than suitable for the job. Firstly, I'm a Student Ambassador for Newcastle University, a role that requires excellent communication, presentation and people skills and for you to be confident and outgoing. As an Ambassador, I have taken large groups of prospective students for campus tours, been on Q & A panels on Open Days and gone into local schools to delivers presentations on Higher Education to students. These activities all require me to get information across in a clear and concise manner, something that is also essential in tutoring.
Secondly, I have the experience in each of the subjects, especially Biology, so I can confidently talk about and tutor on the subject matter. Finally, I'm passionate about each of the subjects and enjoy talking to others about them, which is just ideal in a tutoring scenario.

Tutoring Approach: I'm enthusiastic and lively about tutoring, as I do find these 3 subjects genuinely interesting, so I find it easy to get enthused about them, something that will hopefully transfer across to the tutee. As a tutor, I would focus on the possible problem areas that you may have in regards to a subject and help to tackle them, alongside broader and more general revision to help you get the grades that you want. I am also quite flexible in my teaching approach, and am willing to change styles depending on the learning styles of the tutee. If the tutee finds it difficult to learn by rote I have no problem trying different techniques to make sure that the tutee is retaining the information.
