Science and Technology Tutors : 1-1 Science and Technology Preparation

Hello! I’m Halima, currently about to enter my final year studying Chemistry at Oxford. I have been tutoring for over 3 years now, with roles across all ages and backgrounds. I specialise in teaching A-Level Chemistry and Physics in particular, and my tutees have found my student-led teaching method useful. Additionally, I have helped mentor several students into receiving Oxbridge offers, helping them with personal statements to interview preparation. Haven worked as a University Admissions Advisor at Tanglin Trust School, Singapore I have been exposed to not just the University Admissions system in the UK, but across the globe. I am able to help my tutees not just in their specific subjects, but also make sure they feel supported throughout their educational journey. In my spare time, I love to read both fiction and non-fiction, learn German and go for hikes around London. Please let me know if you have any questions!

I am currently a Computer Science teacher at secondary school in London. I have an in MSc Physics from KCL with interests to pursue academia and research. Previously, I studied BSc Natural Sciences (specialising in Physics and Mathematics) at UCL. Coming from an interdisciplinary degree, I have been able to appreciate the interconnectedness of the varying sciences and mathematics. I have had tutoring experience with Medic Mind over the past 3 years, with a particular focus on teaching GCSE and A-Level Sciences and Mathematics. I aim to provide the quality of teaching tailored to a specific student, with an emphasis on their concerns and demands for their academic progress. My proficiency in the subjects I teach is also reflected in my completion of GCSE Sciences by Year 10. I have also co-edited tutorials and books for Medic Mind, and so I am equipped in teaching the content we deliver.

I am a recent biology graduate from the University of Oxford and have been teaching for the last 5 years. Having studied and lived in a number of countries, including the UK, New Zealand, and Finland, I approach life and learning with an open mind. I studied GCSEs and A-levels (Spanish, Chemistry, Biology, and EPQ) at a grammar school in the UK, as well as NCEA level 3 at a school in New Zealand.
I love nature, the outdoors, languages, and problem-solving – which works well for me as a Biologist exploring tropical ecology with conservation and sustainability. In October I begin my Masters by research at Oxford, which will involve the interdisciplinary integration of Biology, Mathematics, Economics, and Politics in investigating illegal wildlife trade. From explorations of DNA in laboratories of Oxford, to coral reef restoration projects in South East Asia, my scientific approach has taken me all over the world. Outside of Biology, I also have a passion for sports, literature, and languages. I speak Finnish and Spanish, and you will often find me doing adventure sports such as rock climbing and kayaking.

As a current undergraduate at the University of Oxford, it has only been a few months since I finished my school exams. Therefore, a lot of the content is still fresh in my memory and I am able to assist students to perform to the best of their abilities. At GCSE’s I achieved 9 9s and an 8 and at A-Levels I received A*A*A*A*. I managed to secure a place at Oxford and I am learning Computer Science. As a tutor, I will share many tips on how to secure the maximum amount of marks for certain questions and achieve the highest grades. For certain exams such as A-Levels, students may know the content correctly but will not score marks due to their answers not matching the mark scheme. Therefore, I will continuously refer back to exam style questions and teach them the correct terminology, allowing them to secure fantastic grades.
