Dear Students and Parents,

I am Sakinah, a dedicated and driven penultimate-year medical student with a rich tapestry of experience spanning over 5 years in the realm of tutoring. My journey has led me to guide aspiring minds into the corridors of prestigious medical and nursing schools, alongside fostering remarkable accomplishments in GCSE and A-level examinations.

My tutoring ethos is rooted in adaptability, recognising that each student is a unique learner with their aspirations and challenges. I am genuinely vested in understanding and nurturing your individual growth.

Beyond being a profession, teaching is my fervent passion. As I tread through the final stages of my medical degree, my sights are set on pursuing a Master’s in Medical Education, underscoring my commitment to the art of teaching. A personal journey with dyslexia and ADHD has endowed me with heightened empathy towards students grappling with diverse learning difficulties. Elevating self-esteem holds equal importance to me as imparting knowledge.

Effective communication lies at the heart of my approach. I am resolute in cultivating a robust teacher-student relationship, complemented by equipping you with meticulously curated, evidence-based revision techniques. Let us embark on this academic expedition together, transcending mere learning into an enjoyable and enriching experience. 📚🧠

Warm regards,
Sakinah

Hi, my name is Thivane and I’m a third year dental student at the University of Birmingham. Teaching is one of my passions and one of the ways I’ve done this is by tutoring for several years. I’ve had the pleasure of teaching a wide range of students ranging from KS1 to A-levels which has definitely maximised my flexibly, patience with students over the years.

Friendliness is the key to my successful tutoring background as I take the time to chat to my students for a few minutes at the start of the lessons to make sure we build a rapport. I find this approach makes my words of praise, encouragement, motivation and discipline have a much stronger effect on my students’ performances. To enhance this impact I also tailor my lessons to suit their learning styles e.g. by including audio and visual cues. Examples of my success stories include helping many students get into their dream schools including prestigious ones like Wycombe Abbey and Brighton College as well as helping students improve scores for GCSEs, A-levels and UCAT.

Asides from tutoring, I enjoy travelling, running, writing and organising events as well as spending time with my friends and family. I can’t wait to teach my students and get to know them!

I am a PhD candidate in Philosophy at Clare College, University of Cambridge, working in ethics and the philosophy of science. Before this, I completed a Master’s in Philosophy of Science (first class with Distinction) and an undergraduate degree in Philosophy (double first class), both at Cambridge. For my PhD I was awarded full funding under a joint UKRI AHRC scholarship and the Clare College Badger studentship – a funding award that included panel selection from the Department, the University of Cambridge and the UK government’s research council. I was also offered full PhD funding from the University of Oxford medical department, King’s College London law department (the only student to receive a scholarship offer from KCL that year) and UCL Philosophy. Prior to this I also received an offer of a two-year scholarship at Pembroke College, Oxford, which I declined. At Cambridge I have won 5 awards for finishing first in my year in the research component of my Master’s, as well as for finishing in top 10% and top 5% of my year each year of study.

I have been tutoring for 4+ years at all levels, including for Oxbridge admissions and essay competitions. As a tutor I can help students to perform at the best of their academic abilities, offering support and guidance tailored to each student’s needs. I have experience guiding students in Oxbridge and UK university applications, John Locke essay competition, first and second year undergraduate essays, A Level Philosophy and English Literature (AQA, Edexcel, OCR), GCSE Philosophy, Latin and English Literature (AQA, Edexcel, OCR).

Hi, My name is Mona. I am fluent in French and English, I have an MA from the University of St. Andrews in International Relations and an MSc in Infectious Diseases and Medicine from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. I have been a professional tutor for 6 years. During this time, I have tutored pupils ranging in age from 5 to 30 years old, and have had particular success with helping them with a wide range of exams, including university applications (eg.University of St. Andrews, Cambridge, LSE and King’s College).

My past work experience include working for Amazon as an associate partner manager and for the CERN in Geneva in medical regulation. I enjoy supporting students of all ages, adapting my lesson plan to their needs and goals. Looking at past exams really help me in identifying gaps we can work on together and plan our lesson around them.
