My love for teaching began first with teaching the piano at the age of 14. Having achieved my Grade 8 in 4 years and later my DipABRSM, I enjoyed seeing the transfer of knowledge and skill from myself to my students. Tutoring academically soon followed and I have formally been tutoring since sixth form, throughout medical school, and have continued whilst now practicing as a doctor.
My tutoring varies from home schooling students at KS1 level, to Biology and Chemistry at GCSE and A Level, to assisting students through their medical school applications and teaching medical students.
My teaching seeks to motivate and inspire students to strive beyond what is possible in the classroom. I work with students on a 1-on-1 basis, using their individual learning styles to tackle areas of difficulty. My approach is focused on identifying any gaps in knowledge of fundamental concepts and creating an individual spaced repetition plan. This provides students with a greater understanding of topics and equips them with methods for better retention. I also have experience in short terms booster sessions to prepare students for upcoming exams.
Outside of academia and music, I run my own women's health organisation that provides educational programmes in both UK and overseas. I also love to travel - the most interesting destination I have explored is Madagascar!
I have been a professional tutor for almost ten years, having tutored throughout medical school, continuing now in my practice as a resident doctor. I specialise in Biology and Chemistry at GCSE and A Level, as well as Medical school admissions. Nevertheless, my tutoring has varied enormously. I have home schooled students at KS1 level in Maths, Science and English, tutored Science at KS2 and KS3, and have mentored students through the interview process to enter medical school to teaching for their undergraduate written and clinical examinations.
Agencies I have worked with include Bonas MacFarlane, Pembroke Tutors, The Profs, Tutorful and the Higher Education Ambassadors Programme at King's College London, for over 8 years now.
My successes include exceeding the predicted grades of my students and seeing students accepted into their desired university. Notably, with under a year of working with a year 13 student, we were able to push his grade from a C to an A, ensuring he was accepted into his first choice university. I have tutored students with disabilities and pride myself in combining my clinical expertise and teaching experience to tailor lessons to each individual student.
BIOLOGY & CHEMISTRY - Whether it is fundamental concepts at KS1 or more complex learning at A Level, Biology and Chemistry are my specialities. I have covered both in a wide range of exam boards. My tutoring style ensures early identification of gaps in knowledge and uses evidence based techniques, including active recall, to ensure a greater depth of understanding. Exam questions are incorporated at the end of every lesson, to further build exam technique and prepare students for their final exams.
MEDICINE APPLICATIONS - Having worked with King's College London to provide mock interview sessions for prospective students, I have guided many students successfully through the interview process into medical school. I break down the types of questions different universities ask and provide insight into what examiners are looking for, in order to secure your offer.
MEDICINE UNDERGRADUATE - The jump from pre-clinical years to clinical years of Medical school are often a difficult one for students. I specialise in bridging that gap, helping students to understand the aetiology, pathophysiology, clinical features, investigations and management of conditions, whilst guiding the building of their portfolio for their future careers.
