15About Me
Hi there, my name is Hammad. I’m a 4th year medic at Hull York Medical School (HYMS). I’m an aspiring paediatric surgeon and came across this opportunity from Medic Mind to get into teaching, something very much needed as a surgeon or doctor in general.
Due to being a high performer throughout my science subjects from highschool right through to university, I have taught a lot of my peers informally during class or outside of it. I feel I have a rather unique teaching style, using analogies and getting students to explain what they’ve learned or know already back to me, essentially incorporating my learning style (The Feynman Technique) into how I teach. Its lead to quite a high satisfaction rate among my peers and even patients, with my peers coming back whenever they don’t understand topics, recommending me to friends and even some recommendations by peers to go into formal teaching in the future, so I thought, why not put it to good use and get into tutoring.
So if my teaching style or even just my profile interest you, then drop me a message and I’ll be happy to help 🙂
My teaching style
My teaching style is quite fluid and I am able to adjust it to you (the student) specifically.
I use a mixture of teaching methods including visualisation, either using simplified diagrams and/or analogies, getting students to explain their understanding to me so that we can go from your level and work upwards but also to help improve your understanding and also going back to the basic concepts to cement your understanding of the basics before moving on to another topic.
The mixture of the aformentioned has allowed me to be quite successful in teaching, with many of my peers coming back to me whenever they struggle to understand a concept and many even referring other friends to me when they struggle.
My Proudest Achievements
I think my proudest achievements are getting into medical school on the first try despite being from a disadvantaged background especially during a pandemic and competing from those who already had A-Levels (due to the back log from 2020 caused by the grades issue for A-Levels in Summer 2020).
One of my other achievements that I am quite proud of is that I along with another medical student colleague, set up, organised and co-ordinated a national conference (SCTS Engagement Day 2022) in a considerably shorter period of time than was done in previous years in only my 2nd year of medical school.
The main reason why I am so proud of these achievements was not only because I conquered these huge tasks but also the fact that they took a huge drive to work in partnership with others, manage time and my own personal life and workload as well, all qualities that a tutor requires.
