7About Me
Hi, my name is Josna George and I am a first-year medical student at the University of Manchester studying Medicine and Surgery MBChB. Before starting my first year in Medical school, I took a gap year working in Neurosurgery Theatres; as a Theatre Support Worker.
In my gap year, I had interviews at Manchester, Leicester and Southampton Medical schools; where I received all offers. I thoroughly enjoy helping other people with their applications and motivating them through this journey. Although it is a long journey, it is really nice to see how much people grow throughout. When tutoring for medical interviews, I know what are hot topics to mention but also the importance of showing your personality in your interview.
In my GCSEs I achieved eight 9s including Maths, Biology, Physics and Chemistry; and two 8s. I went on to study Biology, Physics, Chemistry and Maths in A-levels and achieved 4 A*. I can really help students understand and simplify difficult concepts and apply them in exam conditions. I have previously tutored in these subjects giving me the skills to tutor and help with exam technique.
Through working in the NHS and studying medicine, I am confident I can adapt to accommodate your needs and work my absolute best to meet your goals!
My teaching style
When approaching tutoring it is really important to adapt to the student. Each student learns differently; and I try to accommodate their needs first. I usually like to see which parts a student may feel strong and weak at first, to ensure the student has a good understanding and can answer questions using their knowledge. Building confidence is a crucial aspect, helping students in both exam conditions and in interviews.
My past experience
I have given people A-level tutoring for Biology, Chemistry and Physics as well as GCSE tutoring in those subjects. I have also given other help for medical interviews.
My Proudest Achievements
Taking part in Japan Super Science Fair was a big achievement for me as I presented research conducting as a group to people around the world via zoom.
