Phonics Tutors: 1-1 Phonics Preparation

My name is Siddeeqah.
Currently, I am a second year dental student.
I recently completed my A levels in biology chemistry and maths. I then decided to go along the science route and pursue a career in dentistry.
I chose dentistry for a number of different reasons. Dentistry is a fulfilling career as it will allow me to actively improve the oral health of my patients which will be very rewarding. Dentistry is also a multi faceted career which combines many different skills such as problem solving, manual dexterity, good communication as well as time management which is quite appealing. It also provides a good work life balance and there is always the opportunity to further specialise into your chosen field of study.
My interest in science stems from secondary school. I enjoyed biology the most since I was intrigued to learn about the inner workings of the human body. I progressed and studied biology at a level to further develop my knowledge and currently, at university I study anatomy and histology which are both branches of biology.
I also really enjoyed maths throughout secondary school and college. My favourite part of maths was trigonometry at a level. I liked the challenge of solving difficult equations. Maths allowed me to develop transferable skills such as problem solving and thinking analytically and critically which will also be required of me as a dentist in the future.

Hello! My name is Shimza, I am a medic at the University of Glasgow. I am passionate about teaching and learning, and I hope to make you just as motivated! Before I applied to Medical School, I gained some tutoring experience at both a tutoring organisation, as well as volunteering for a volunteering tutoring organisation to offer educational support for pupils from disadvantaged backgrounds. I found this to be an extremely rewarding experience to see pupils grow in confidence, as well as seeing their progress in their studies. I have worked with a wide range of pupils of different age groups and abilities and I relish the opportunity to support other aspiring medics in their transition to medical school! In my free time, I enjoy doing various activities including volunteering, arts and crafts and badminton which has helped me to grow as a well-organised, supportive and creative individual. I hope to support students by tailoring teaching towards their specific needs, strengths and weaknesses, as well as gaining confidence. I have also further developed my interpersonal skills such as communication skills as well as leadership skills through being a student mentor for aspiring medics at my university. This has meant that I have been able to help support and offer application advice for school pupils, and I hope to bring the same forward here!

Hi, my name is Karishma and I am a 2nd year Oxford medicine student. I am academically driven, as shown by achieving awards in competitions, completing a language GCSE while in Year 7, and achieving within the top 10% of medical candidates in one of my 1st year examinations.
But most importantly, I love to teach- I am enthusiastic about sharing what I know with others & finding the best, most efficient ways to learn, personalising techniques for each individual.
I balance my work with extracurriculars including dance, which I have been learning for 15 years. I have taken part in numerous competitions, and assist my dance teacher during her weekly classes, which has helped me to develop a wider range of teaching techniques. I actively participate in groups working towards equality, diversity, inclusion, and outreach, which is extremely important to me.

Hi! I am a second year medic at Lancaster Medical School. I am a bubbly, hard-working and friendly individual and will do the best I can in tutoring you. Here’s a little something that says why: throughout high-school I made sure to take up every opportunity to strengthen my skills as I could and there were many weeks where I would be volunteering 10 hours a week at 3 different placements; this wasn’t only placements in hospitals but also at language schools. This helped ensure my skills were more broader than those required for medical school.
I wasn’t always certain what my career path would look like, but the more time I spend at medical school the more sure I am on what I want to be, and most importantly who. I was given the opportunity to not just pursue a deeply loved passion of mine, but also medicine along side it! Yes, that’s right, this degree has helped me flourish as more than just a medical student, but also as a poet and a writer. It has encouraged me to believe that I can do much more than medicine and that I can be my own person within my career of choice. This is what I wish to impart in each and every one of you.

Hello! I’m a current 3rd year Natural Sciences student at Cambridge University, studying Physics, with a keen interest in Quantum Physics and computation.

Enthusiastic about physics, although I have studied Maths and Chemistry in my 1st year of university, I am able to tutor A-level Maths, Physics, Chemistry, Further Maths and Biology (AS-level). I would also be happy to tutor most GCSE subjects, where I acheived a grade 9 in Maths and English, and A*s in Science.

I have taken the NSAA Cambridge admissions test before, as well as the UKCAT where I scored an above average mark. I would however also be happy to help with other admissions tests such as STEP, PAT and the BMAT.

I have often been complimented by the way I tutor from friends and family, I am punctual, passionate and patient. I have experience with working with children and young adults, as well as experience through the Cambridge application process.

I am a 2nd year medical student who is extremely passionate and dedicated towards my role as a tutor. Over the many years, I have been able to acquire a surplus of skills that I am eager to share to my students. I have achieved 2A*s and 2As at ALevel, 5 A**s, 4A*s and 2As at GCSE. I can offer SATS, 11+, GCSE and A level tuition in a range of subjects such as Sciences, Maths and English. Alongside this, I also offer BMAT and UCAT tuition (medical school entrance exams).
As someone who is a high achiever I have a very good understanding of what is required to obtain effective revision and I am confident that I will pass these skills on to my students.
In terms of my own experience, I have tutored for two years at my local tuition centre as well as my school. I have witnessed firsthand the profound impact that I have had on these students hence I would like this rewarding outcome to continue.
