18About Me
My name is Abena and I’m a 5th year medical student at the University of Oxford. As well as spending a large amount of time on my academic career, I have also dedicated myself to my tutoring ability with over 6 years of tutoring experience. Through my years of experience I have been able to improve my teaching skills and encounter a number of ways to assist a student in the their chosen subject allowing me to tailor sessions for the student in front of me. Furthermore, I’m a friendly, enthusiastic tutor, who enjoys helping students achieve their academic goals with discipline and consistency. Education has always been a huge priority in my life and I’ve had teachers whom have helped me immensley with my motivation and performance, something I hope to pass on to my future students.
Apart from tutoring, I enjoy cheerleading for my university, I’m also president of two societies Oxford Black Medics Society and learn Spanish in my free time.
Fun fact: My name means I was born on a Tuesday.
My teaching style
My teaching style consists of laying down the material of the subject intertwined with short questions during the lessons targeted at the main content of the topic and ending with exam practice at the end of the lesson. This helps with not only being able learn a subject but also assists with preparation for exams. Alongside this, I also monitor student progress to identify weak spots and help to improve these with enhanced focus on the topic until the student is confident. Every student is different therefore this process may not be as suitable with all students, I am always able to adapt to a method that best helps any specific student with different learning techniques that may be more helpful.
My Proudest Achievements
My proudest achievement would be creating the Oxford Black Medics society and creating a community with those similar to me. Creating academic and social events catering to subjects that are of interest to medical students of black heritage has made me feel very fulfilled.
