9About Me
Hi there! My name is Anna, I’m a current second-year medical student at the University of Oxford.
What drew me to medicine the most was the opportunity to meaningfully interact with people and make a positive impact on their lives. I believe that teaching and supporting young people follows this same mindset. I am friendly and approachable, and have all the patience in the world to explain a concept as many times as needed in order for it to ‘click’! I know first-hand how stressful GCSE and A-level preparation can be, and it would be wonderful to be able to help students who are on the journey I was on just last year.
I am capable of teaching biology, chemistry, mathematics and English literature at any level, including GCSEs and A-level. I look forward to working together with students and helping them achieve their academic goals!
My teaching style
In a typical hour-long session, my main focus would be addressing weak areas where the student feels their understanding is particularly lacking. I would aim to bridge these gaps in their knowledge, in order for the student to not only learn information, but understand it well. Following the student’s lead in this way, as well as guiding them through their course specification in order to relate lesson content to tests and exams, is my teaching methodology.
My Proudest Achievements
I have been dreaming of medical school for the last few years, so earning a place to pursue this at Oxford has been incredible! In my last couple of years at school I also created a Medical Society for aspiring medics to have a platform through which to explore this career, which was so fulfilling. It was wonderful to see the benefit of fostering this curiosity and passion first-hand, and the overwhelmingly positive feedback received from students was a particularly proud moment.
