Hi, I'm Karina, and as a fourth year medical student, and recent masters graduate, I am no stranger to exams. For me, GCSE's and A Levels provided me with an optimal opportunity to hone my revision techniques, in order to most effectively process and retain vital information. In creating this strong foundation for knowledge I was able to build my confidence which vitally fulled my passion for learning. Personally, I found that integrating past paper questions into my studies and adopting a multifaceted approach to tackle more complex questions, was critical in my consistent attainment of high grades.

About my sessions

I find drilling exam technique and exam questions is vital to being successful in exams, so I do integrate this into my lessons as much as possible. Additionally if a student is struggling in a particular topic I will present a series of new ways to help them understand it and integrate the appropriate information into their answers.

Karina is an excellent biology and Physics teacher. She helped me a lot with both lessons, and her teaching techniques are great, especially with someone who has ADHD. Thank you to Karina for making me more confident in answering questions and having a go at them.

Karina is very helpful. She helps you go over exam questions and helps you realize how to explain them in detail to get the marks you need.

An amazing tutor! Karina was incredibly understanding, gave our daughter an immense amount of her time and her teaching methods were perfect. Our daughter felt so prepared for her exams thanks to Karina's lessons. I can not recommend Karina highly enough.
