Hey!

I'm Usman, a medical student at the University of Birmingham. I am now in my third year of the course, having completed the pre-clinical component, and spend most of my week in local hospitals and GP surgeries with the aim of helping as many people and patients as I can, while trying to become a better doctor and person along the way.

I have been tutoring in a professional capacity since 2018, largely teaching students between the ages of 13 and 18, in subjects ranging from the sciences to the liberal arts. In addition to this, I have an extensive employment history in and around the education environment and also spent every Friday afternoon during the last 4 years of secondary education, teaching pupils between the ages of 7 and 11.

I am passionate about helping you become comfortable and confident in your subjects and hope to help you realise your potential in the academic environment and beyond.

I treat my lessons with the upmost dedication, taking time out prior to scheduled teaching in order to effectively plan a detailed and multi-faceted lesson plan. After the session, I also make notes on the student's progress, reflecting on positives and areas for improvement so that we can work together to put the student in an even better position and improve their ability every week.

Progress, in my view, is measured through conversation with the student to regularly gauge their own perception and feelings regarding their subject and its associated topics/areas in addition to the arguably more 'objective' measure of the student's ability to answer questions and tackle problems. Ultimately, if we can build a good foundation together I hope that each of my students will begin to enjoy their subjects and that is the priority and most potent measure of progress.
