Aziza
About Me
Hello!
My name is Aziza and I am a current 2nd year medic at Bart’s and the London School of Medicine and Dentistry.
I have had a lot of experience with tutoring – with being a subject ambassador at my secondary school, and tutoring friends and family at a variety of ages and skill set . From doing this, I have realised that different students have different ways of learning, therefore, adapting teaching style from student-to-student is crucial in making sure the student is content with the sessions.
I believe that practise questions are crucial in helping students understand the content, so will always end my sessions with questions- however, I am very lenient in allowing the student to lead the session to encourage them to ask questions and allow them to gain the full experience out of our sessions!
I have a real passion for helping students with their application process. I empathise with aspiring medical/dental students, as I was once in the same position. I realise that it is a daunting experience, so as well as being a tutor, I will be a form of support through this time.
I was the first in my family to go to university, therefore, I empathise with those who are in similar positions.
Applying to university can be very difficult, as there is a lot to tackle. However, I aim to help students academically, mentally and personally through this time!
My teaching style
I am very lenient with my teaching style. I have taught a variety of students at different academic abilities, therefore, understand the importance of adapting teaching style between students.
I either let the student take control and ask me questions on things they are stuck on in school, or if they like, I will take control of the sessions and plan the sessions ahead of time.
Even though, my teaching style differs depending on the student, I always end the sessions with a set of practise questions I have compromised. I always do them with the students to ensure they have fully understood what I have taught them, but also to help with exam technique as this is very important in ensuring success in exams!
My past experience
Yes, I have several experience.
I was a Maths Ambassador at my secondary school. This involved me teaching and planning sessions for younger students within the school to help them better their mathematics.
I also tutor my siblings and family friends with science and english, particularly for admissions tests such as the 11 plus, and GCSEs.
My Proudest Achievements
-Helping a student who struggled in maths achieve a grade 9 at GCSE level.
-Helping an adult in my family achieve a 7 at GCSE maths, as they had always struggled and never sat the exam!
