    UCAT score: 2910 SJT Band4/4 offers Leicester Newcastle Sheffield HYMSA Levels : A*A*AAGCSE: Achieved 4 9s and 6 8s

    As a second-year medical student at the University of Leicester, I’ve successfully navigated the challenging journey of academic examinations and medical school applications. Having recently experienced the pressures of GCSEs, A-levels, UCAT, and the rigorous medical school application process, I understand firsthand the daunting nature of these crucial academic milestones.
    My academic achievements include 4 Grade 9s and 6 Grade 8s at GCSE, A*AA at A-level, and an A* in EPQ. I also scored in the top decile for UCAT with a Band 1 in SJT. This strong academic background, coupled with over a year of tutoring experience in a range of subjects, positions me well to guide students through their own academic journeys.
    As your tutor, I’ll provide personalised teaching tailored to your unique learning style. We’ll focus on extensive exam practice as well as going over content and I will share effective techniques to help you achieve high grades. My approach emphasises regular, committed sessions designed to fit around both our schedules, ensuring you reach your maximum potential and desired results.
    I believe that with the right guidance, every student can excel. My recent experiences allow me to offer relevant, up-to-date insights into exam preparation and application processes. I’m dedicated to helping you navigate these challenges successfully, just as I have done.

    Hi there!

    My name is Ruairi (think roar-ree). I have recently graduated from the University of Cambridge with, among other things, a first-class with distinction in my dissertation on public policy. Throughout my time at Cambridge, I have taken papers spanning development, economics, law, and policy. I am combining the knowledge and skills I gained during my undergraduate degree to become a corporate lawyer at a global, Top 20 AM Law firm.

    In the meantime, I would like to tutor you! I have thoroughly enjoyed tutoring in the past and believe I can help you excel in a wide range of subjects. I would also be more than happy to help with applications and interviews, be that to universities or to law firms. More generally, I can give you advice on navigating college/sixth form, university, and the corporate world, based on my past successes (and failures!).

    Outside of academia and work, I like to watch Arsenal and international rugby. I am also hoping to get back into gym and kickboxing in the new academic year, as well as jewellery-making.

    I hope to hear from you soon – please do reach out if you are interested!

    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.

    Hi, I’m Shivangi, a 2nd year medical student at the University of Sheffield. My journey to medicine was tough and I can only imagine how many aspiring medics there are out there and if there’s something I wouldn’t mind having when I applied, it would have to be a little bit of encouragement and support throughout it all. I’ll be here to help you in whatever stage you’re in and push you to get those scores, interviews, offers and grades.
    I like to incorporate real-world examples and applications into my lessons to help you see the relevance and practicality of what you’ll be going on to learn. My goal as a tutor is to help you build confidence in your abilities and be able to achieve the best you can. Feel free to ask me any questions if you’re struggling, or just to find out more about what being a medical student is really like.

    FAQs

    Read some of our most frequently asked questions and answers

    What is Phonics?

    Phonics is a method used to teach children how to read and write by focusing on the sounds that make up words. It involves teaching the relationships between letters (graphemes) and the sounds they represent (phonemes). By learning phonics, children can decode and spell words more effectively, which is a fundamental skill in developing strong reading and writing abilities.

    How much do Phonics tutors cost per hour?

    The cost of a Phonics tutor can vary depending on their qualifications and experience. Generally, private tutors charge between £30.00 and £50.00 per hour, with online lessons often slightly cheaper than in-person lessons

    Can you take Phonics lessons online?

    Yes, you can take Phonics lessons online! All of our tutors offer online tutoring, most of them through our state-of-the-art online classroom which has been built by us to meet all your needs.

    How can I support my child when learning Phonics?

    To support your child when learning phonics, start by reading together regularly. Choose phonics-based books that emphasise letter-sound relationships. Additionally, engage in fun activities like playing word games, using flashcards, and sounding out words in everyday situations. Lastly, provide a positive and encouraging environment, praising your child's efforts and progress to boost their confidence in phonics learning.
