8About Me
Hiya, my name is Shambavi Chandrakumar and I am a 2nd year medical student at QUB.
A little bit about me is that I love cooking and trying out various cuisines and creating mini reviews for them. In my free time, I love to go swimming in my local leisure centre and spend time to relax, as well as this I love going out with my friends and trying random quirky activities such as pottery and yin yoga. Spending time with family and friends and pushing ourselves out of our comfort zone is one of the many things that I enjoy doing! My time so far at university has been a whirlwind. I have loved both the social and academic aspects of university from the clinical skills & anatomy sessions to Zumba classes on the weekend. Moving to a new city was at first a nerve – racking experience, however as I met new people and made friends along the way ,the experience has been amazing.
I am excited to see where the future takes me and I can’t wait to help you with your own journey in applying to Medicine !
My teaching style
So my teaching style is adapted to my students and how they work best. Some students are visual learners, others prefer pneumonic style learning and my aim is to help my students find a style of learning that works for them and be able to feel confident with their learning progress. Personally I feel it is important to reinforce key concepts from previous sessions regularly and so I like to do a fun, informal quiz with my students at the start of the lesson to see what they remember and stir them in the right direction for their learning. Above all, I want to make sure my students feel comfortable in my lessons and come out of the session feeling as though they have learnt something new for the day. If there is any feedback my students have, I will always try to take it on board and incorporate it into our next session.
My Proudest Achievements
My proudest achievement was receiving an offer from QUB, which was my first choice medical school. To receive an offer from a medical school was one of the biggest highlights of my year as the application process was definitely not a walk in the park !
