Final year medical student with a keen passion for tutoring and mentoring future cohorts. I enjoy reading, writing, art and baking in my spare time. I endeavour to encourage, elevate and inspire those who cross paths with me to stay curious and believe in their potential :)

Tutoring Experience

I am a final year medical student. I have been tutoring GCSE students alongside my studies for the past 8 years and have learnt to adapt to the needs of different students.

Tutoring Approach

Let's start with English. Analysis proves to be a very difficult skill among many students and I've challenged myself to design different methods to approach each individual's points of improvement. I offer an engaging and insightful way of teaching English and come up to speed with my students' individual stage of learning to provide the best pathway to progress. Whether you like to stick to a certain pattern of writing or you like to experiment with your essays, I will support your preferences and aim to ensure that your written responses are to the highest standard with examples of my own! I am well suited to tutor for GCSE English Language and Literature and A-Level English. Biology has undoubtedly become very applied and whilst you may know the knowledge, practically all of it, you might be frustrated that the exams aren't going as well, or vice versa. I will provide thorough explanations for each topic and ensure my students are getting constant exam practice to boost confidence in approaching exam questions and to correctly identify the topic and key words the mark schemes are looking for.
