About me
I am a second year medical student studying at St George's University of London! I took Chemistry, Biology and Product Design at A level, achieved A*AB and I am consequently very passionate about my subjects. Medicine is my chosen field of study due to my love of everything science and my desire to help others; these characteristics have also lead me to enthusiastically pursue tutoring. The sciences can be tricky to understand and my aim is to explain complicated theories and subject matters in a way that makes sense for each individual - there isn't much point in teaching two completley different people in the same manner! My approach is centred around every student as an individual learner.

About my sessions
Each lesson will be different for each student, for reasons I mentioned in my personal statement. However, my basic outline of a lesson is as follows:
To begin with a starter exercise to see what gaps there are in a student's knowledge, in order to accurately fill them and make sure they get the most out of the session. I will then talk the student through the areas of that specific subject or topic that they are finding difficult in a step by step approach. Once the subject matter has been covered and the student is happy, it is alway beneficial to practise some exam style questions! I like to teach by showing a student how a question is done, then allowing them to do one alone, and then having them walk me through a question, as if they were teaching me. I found this method very effective both in tutoring and as a student myself!
With UKCAT mentoring, I cannot mentor the situational judgement section as I have been part of a focus group for these questions. I am still happy to help wth the rest of the paper.
