My teaching style

My lessons are designed to be as interactive as possible! As a 22-year-old with experience teaching ages 5-24, I have a flexible approach to tuition, grounded in my own experience which is always tailored to students’ needs. I predominantly work with students on personal statements, EPQs, and interview preparation for Oxbridge, although I also tutor GCSE, A-Level, and IB. I am friendly and fun, and I thoroughly enjoy helping students along their academic journey. I welcome students regardless of age or ability; I have lots of experience, for example, working with dyslexic students. Because each student is different, I spend time getting to know each individual with care, such as to provide them with the best level of teaching that I can. Understanding how different students learn, and the communication style that suits them the best is very important to me. Being a tutor who has just finished their undergraduate in Biology, with my experience with teaching, all of my students find me easy to approach and professional. This fosters an excellent learning environment where we can tackle even the most difficult learning concepts together, all the time encouraging the development of critical thought. I also offer extensive teaching resources to my students, such as an interactive Spanish learning passport, and I set and mark work for students to complete each week. I have a mixed media approach to learning, using visual guides (such as mindmaps and drawings) as well as rote learning platforms (such as memrise), and the use of past papers and interviews as guides. My lessons work well both in-person and online.
