5About Me
Hi! My name’s Gemma. I’m a 20 year old bilingual student (Italian mother and British father) who studies Chemistry at the University of Bath. I’ve finished my first year and will be starting my second year in October. I’ve been a tutor for over a year with another company in Italy where I taught students of different ages and have helped out at college in Chemistry workshops, where I assisted Year 12 students with their homework or understanding topics. I’m a positive person who aims to make the student as comfortable as possible by building a bond with them and helping them gain confidence alongside teaching them. I got an interview from Oxford so I am familiar with the questions and preparation required for the interview as well as an interview from Imperial College London, where I also got an offer from.
My teaching style
When teaching I try to get the student to think about the answer on their own, helping out by giving hints or underlying bits in the question that help find the answer. If I’m teaching a new topic I like to use visual aids (such as drawing on a whiteboard as I’m talking).
My past experience
Yes, I’ve been tutoring for over a year.
My Proudest Achievements
My proudest achievements is being able to adapt to a new system after moving from Italy to the UK.
