I’m a third year medical student, hoping to be a doctor in a few years time. Having done a lot of exams (including GCSEs, A-Levels and university admissions tests), I realise how stressful and unnerving they can be, so I want to help other people through it! Personally, a big challenge for me during school exams was how much extra there is to do. Students do many subjects at GCSE, and have to balance planning their next steps with A-Levels.

I’m a third year medical student, hoping to be a doctor in a few years time. Having done a lot of exams (including GCSEs, A-Levels and university admissions tests), I realise how stressful and unnerving they can be, so I want to help other people through it! Personally, a big challenge for me during school exams was how much extra there is to do. Students do many subjects at GCSE, and have to balance planning their next steps with A-Levels. Guiding them, and providing encouragement is important in my lessons, as it infinitely supplements students' learning.
I have been tutoring with MyTutor since January 2022, and have loved being able to help people though some tough exam periods! I’ve also taken part in some tutoring schemes at school, such as helping year 7-11 whilst in 6th form and thoroughly enjoyed it, so I’m hoping to be able to continue that. Outside of academics, I enjoy baking and making scrapbooks. I have also been choreographer and president of the Bollywood Dance Society at my university in recent years!
In my lessons, I aim to work out what the students are struggling with, and help them to fully understand the content. My teaching style incorporates this - we go through content and work through it together. I like to make sure my students have really grasped the concepts, as they will need to apply their knowledge in exam questions. During my time at school, I found that once I felt I understood, doing practice questions really helped boost my own grades, so I hope to help others similarly....

During my time at school, I found that once I felt I understood, doing practice questions really helped boost my own grades, so I hope to help others similarly. Mark schemes can be really tough to work with too, so understanding what a question is asking, and knowing what the mark schemes expect is a priority! I aim to be flexible and really engage students in their learning, and help them reach their full potential in a way that helps them most!
In my time at school, I often found that exam-style questions were the best form of revision for me. However, I also understand that this does not work for everyone - each student is different, and has different methods of working. My lessons are very student-led and I will constantly ask them if there is anything that they feel could work better for them. Parents' feedback is also invaluable for me - you know your child best. I have also had experience in working with students with learning differences, such as ADHD and dyslexia. I aim to make my lessons accessible for all!
