Sotia
About Me
Hello! I’m Sotia, a current Medical student at The University of Manchester and I’m currently doing an integrated PhD in cancer research. I am also a Biomedical Sciences Graduate from The University of Edinburgh!
I have always found tutoring particularly rewarding. Having worked with students of all age groups and abilities I have learned to adapt each lesson to my student’s needs. I also have extensive experience working with children with special education needs and can accommodate to the students’ and parents’ preferences! I have mainly worked with students aged between 14-20 teaching GCSE and A level in high school and have been privately teaching IGCSE for the last few years. I also have experience with younger children in a different teaching capacity as I have taught children between the ages of 3and 12 how to swim and have been teaching karate to all age groups for the past 15 years.
I also specialize in helping Undergraduate and Master’s students with their Theses and Dissertations.
As I have been in higher education for the past 10 years now, I am highly experienced with entrance exams, the interview process, and anything else a student may need to achieve their goals! Having gone through multiple application processes for my degrees I know how challenging and stressful it can be to study for exams as well as prepare for interviews! I therefore also offer university advice for incoming medical students as well as interview prep!
I always like to start with a conversation with any potential student so I can better understand what your goals are and figure out the best way to help you! I am extremely passionate about life-long learning as well as teaching which is why I’m pursuing a PhD as well as studying medicine so I can one day become a professor.
I hope that my passion and enthusiasm for science, medicine, and research will not only help you achieve your goals but enjoy the process!
Please don’t hesitate to get in touch with any queries.
My teaching style
My teaching style usually depends on each student. I incorporate different teaching styles and adapt them according to my students’ needs and how well they respond. I use a combination of collaborative learning, interactive learning, and discussion as well as something called the flipped classroom where I have students actively explain what they understood from the lesson.
My past experience
I specialize in helping Undergraduate and Master’s students with their Theses, Dissertations as well as coursework.
