About Me
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

As someone who has personally navigated the challenges of dyslexia and ADHD, I possess a unique empathy for students with learning difficulties. This background has motivated me to create a supportive and empowering environment, aimed at bolstering their self-esteem and enabling their academic growth.
