Cello Teacher : 1-1 Cello Preparation

I have always found teaching incredibly rewarding and also a great way to meet people and share ideas. Even the career path I have chosen has so much teaching, as in medicine there is always something to new be learnt and therefore taught. I loved Biology through GCSE and A levels and now at university, but also really enjoyed learning Chemistry and Maths through my GCSEs. These are not easy subjects and can be really difficult to understand and apply to questions. We can work towards breaking down those hard topics and improving exam technique so that when that difficult question comes along, you can tackle it.

I loved my time at school and tried to get involved in as much as I could. I became Headboy in Year 13and one of my favourites parts of that role was mentoring and teaching younger years, but also just getting to know them better. I played a lot of football and other sports.at school, while also learning the saxophone and cello so I understand how intense school can be and how much can be on your plate. I definitely found many parts of GCSEs difficult but I had people help me through it and now I want to give back and help you in whatever way I can.

I’m Arif. I began my academic life in an IB school, taking IB Biology, Chemistry and Maths at a higher level and followed my interest in both biology and chemistry with a BSc in Biochemistry.

I then completed my MSc in Bioinformatics, as I had a growing interest in the Human microbiome and its implications in disease and disorders. My research was focused on the role of oral microbiota in infective endocarditis through systems biology approaches. My interests lie in bioinformatics and predictive disease modelling, with a focus on the human microbiome as a potential biomarker.

I’m now pursuing a medical degree at the University of Warwick, and am eager to integrate computational systems biology-based disease modeling with practical diagnostic and clinical care.

In 2022, I undertook medical interviews for the first time. I was so nervous and fidgety in the UQ interview, the interviewer thought I was cheating, (of course, I was not cheating). When I got my offer from UQ, I screamed and ran around the house out of pure joy. Through talking about my medicine experience, I hope to show my experience with the whole interview process and my knowledge about it. I understand what the interviews are like, and how hard they are. I understand that to perform in the interview is a skill that needs to be developed, not responses that need to be rehearsed.

In 2023, I applied for UoN/UNE, feeling much more confident in myself. I prepared completely on my own, without the use of any tutoring or external help. I am proud to say I got my first preference offer of UNE. This endeavour helped me to refine my interview skills, to better understand what worked for me, and what the interviewers liked to hear. I gained better knowledge into the responses the interviewers were looking for, and how to respond effectively in a variety of different interview situations. I used many easily accessible and free resources, as well as made my own resources which I would be happy to share with you.

I would be very grateful to have the opportunity to share some of my experience with someone else. Whilst what worked for me may not work for you, I believe the process of finding out students’ own ways of excelling in interviews is an achievement in itself.

A passionate tutor, with lots of experience teaching at all student levels, I have a love and drive for essay subjects. An Oxford Classisist, with straight A*s at GCSE and all 6s in my IB highers, I have always been the top performer, and pass on my knowledge on exam and essay writing technique to my students.

Having recently completed the Oxford Honour Moderations in Classics, some of the most prestigious exams in the world, I have demonstrated my excellent work ethic and drive, which I use in the classroom to help students learn as efficiently as they can.

Current: second year undergraduate at Oxford University reading Classics

Hello! My name is Sophia and I am a 3rd year medical student currently studying at the University of Bristol. I achieved top grades in my GCSEs and A levels, as well as in my UCAT. Having gone through A levels and the medicine application process, I understand how stressful and hard it is and I would like to guide students to achieve the best grades they can to get into their dream university. I am passionate and patient in teaching students, and eager to improve students’ confidence in exams and university interviews. I will tailor classes to each student to ensure they can understand material in the best way they can. As for past tutoring experience, I have some experience in tutoring and teaching musical instruments to students in the past few years. I look forward to meeting some of you!
