Gaelic Tutors : 1-1 Gaelic Lessons

Hello, my name is Jenna and I am new to tutoring, but am keen to help students reach their full potential!

I have a PhD in Mitochondrial Biology, and a BSc in Human Physiology. I just completed a Post Graduate certificate in Science Communication and Public Engagement, where I discovered a passion for making science accessible and understandable, and I’m hoping that my personal experiences in the from over 10 years working in labs will allow me to give a new point of view to students. I am a big believer at meeting people where they are and working out how best for each individual to learn.

I am from the Scottish Highlands and have a huge passion for natural science, and understanding the world around me. I enjoy talking to others about the natural world and the ways in which we can protect it.

I am also a keen rugby player, which has taught me that I am physically stronger than I thought I was, and that although I have worked most of my professional life as an individual, I absolutely love being part of a team. I also play a few instruments in my spare time.

While I loved my time at school and university, I understand all too well that this is not the case for many, whether that be a clash of personalities between student and teacher, or struggling to manage studies in a group of peers that do not share the same goals or interests. I think that this is where tutoring can be an incredible tool that can help students understand material in a way that works for them.
