Hi I’m Shaima, currently a 4th year Medical Student studying at the University of Leicester.
I am a kind, enthusiastic and friendly individual with a strong work ethic and a passion for teaching!
I have 4 years of tutoring experience in GCSE Biology, GCSE Chemistry as well as 11+ and am passionate about helping others to get the best grades they possibly can and achieve their potential.
I really enjoy tutoring and always tailor each lesson to the individual’s needs, focusing on making the lessons interactive and engaging and following up with past paper questions as well as homework to reinforce learning. I have achieved 4A’s at A-level, 10A*s at GCSE and received 3 medical school offers in 2021 and as a result I would like to give back and help in any way that I am able to. I offer tutoring in Medical School personal statements, UCAT, medical school interviews, GCSE Biology, GCSE Chemistry and 11+. Please do not hesitate to get in touch. I look forward to hearing from you 🙂
