I am a final-year medical student specialising in science tutoring and medical school entrance preparation. As a high-achieving, A* academic myself, I understand exactly what it takes to prepare for demanding exams, and how to approach them strategically rather than just working harder. Over 5+ years of tutoring, I've developed an adaptive, thorough teaching style that builds students a solid foundation of knowledge and the confidence to turn that into top grades.

I've worked with students from primary school through to A Level, across the AQA, OCR and Edexcel exam boards, with a strong focus on exam technique alongside subject mastery. My medical background keeps my own knowledge sharp and my communication skills constantly in practice, both of which shape every lesson I teach. I also have experience supporting students with learning requirements including dyslexia, ADHD and autism, tailoring my approach so every student can learn in the way that works best for them.

I take a very holistic approach to teaching, as every student thinks and learns differently. I give each of my students the time and attention they deserve to build a detailed understanding of how they learn best. This is achieved through an initial introductory meeting that allows rapport to be built and an assessment of a student's unique learning style to be conducted, letting me note their goals and preferences and build a personalised picture before lessons begin.

In lessons, I draw on a range of methods depending on what suits the student. This may include consolidated notes, diagrams, whiteboard work, and mark-scheme-specific practice questions. I am attentive to the areas my students find difficult and break them down into their simplest components to aid understanding. My background in medicine allows me to provide interesting real-world examples to help students find meaning in what they are learning, often increasing engagement.

I set weekly homework focused on building revision materials, ensuring only revision is taking place during exam season rather than learning new content. I am mindful of how pressure can affect a student's mental wellbeing and regularly check in with them to ensure they are coping well. I help build structured revision plans that work well with pre-existing schedules and stay in consistent contact with parents, so everyone involved has visibility on progress and next steps.
