Hi! I’m Mieszko.
For my A-Levels, I picked 4 STEM-based subjects, and enjoyed them, so I ended up putting a lot of time into them, and got an A* in each. In college, I also completed a gold crest project, a project in partnership with the NHS, and a project with DSTL.
I was successful in an application to study Computer Science at Oxford, while helping to lead a twice-a-week 2 hour long mentoring sessions, tutoring 3 other students with their admissions tests. One of these got an interview at Oxford, another got into Oxford, and a third was successful in applying to Cambridge.
Outside college, I do a decent amount of sports, including hiking, squash and judo, and I did a DofE award through explorers. I play piano, watch a fair amount of TV and read a fair amount of books – recently both have been This Is Going To Hurt.
My teaching style
I’m friendly and relaxed, and I focus on both genuine understanding and exam technique. Exams for STEM subjects tend to focus on understanding a topic and linking it with others, rather than memorizing formulas. Applying the understanding to the exams is then exam technique, along with time keeping and the best order to answer questions in.
My past experience
I have regularly tutored students in a variety of different subjects. For example, I have tutored a year 11 student through the entirety of the GCSE Further Maths course, from scratch, in which he achieved a 7. I also tutored a student through the PAT, and his application was successful.
My Proudest Achievements
Getting into Oxford with a very high MAT score is definitely up there. Also managing to pot 3 balls of one colour with one shot in pool.
