I am a driven, ambitious and enthusiastic tutor and medical student at top Russell Group University in London. I have years of experience teaching various subjects, including Biology, Chemistry, Maths, UKiset, Medical Admissions Tests along with 11+ CSSE and GL, . The main focus in my teaching is allowing students to actively engage with the lesson allowing them to understand the content at hand, giving them the ability to freely ask questions throughout the study and using past paper questions to practice with students to provide them with a realistic idea of what will come up in their examinations. I constantly endeavour to create a strong rapport with the student, which builds foundations of mutual trust and respect, enabling students to feel comfortable to ask questions and engage with the lesson.

I believe that my experience as a tutor has allowed me to understand the difficulties and realities of tutoring online, students at times may not always be engaged with the lesson; this is because, in real life, there is an element of non-verbal communication that cannot be expressed online, therefore during my studies where I share my iPad screen, I make lots of use of the laser pointer tool to add some non-verbal communication element to my address and to keep students actively engaged. I understand that this is more difficult with younger students. However, ensuring the class is as interactive as possible can enable great success with student learning.
