Kelisa

Hi, I am Kelisa, a second-year Optometry student at Aston University, with a strong academic and practical background in the field. I achieved a First-Class grade in my first year of university and was accepted into all the optometry schools I applied to, so I know firsthand what it takes to make a great impression during the application and interview process. Alongside my studies, I’ve been working in an optician’s practice for over two years, gaining valuable hands-on experience and a deeper understanding of the profession.

In my tutoring sessions, I focus on creating a structured yet flexible learning environment that caters to each student’s unique needs.

I begin by assessing each student’s current understanding and identifying their strengths and areas for improvement. Based on this, I develop a personalised learning plan that outlines our goals and the steps needed to achieve them. Each session is designed to build on the previous one, ensuring a steady progression of knowledge and skills.

I like to start each session with a quick review of the previous material to reinforce learning and address any lingering questions. Then, we move on to new topics, using a variety of teaching methods to keep things engaging. This might include interactive discussions, problem-solving exercises, and real-world examples that make the material relatable. I also provide practice problems and mini-quizzes to reinforce concepts and ensure retention.

I track progress through regular assessments, both formal and informal. These can include quizzes, homework assignments, and discussions. I also seek feedback from students to understand how they feel about their progress and adjust my teaching methods accordingly. Regular check-ins and progress reports help keep us on track and make any necessary adjustments to our learning plan.

By creating a supportive and engaging atmosphere, I aim to help students not only achieve their academic goals but also develop a lifelong appreciation for learning.
