Vetted Tutor

Personally Interviewed

Our tutors go through a rigorous selection process, having been interviewed to assess their teaching skills and subject knowledge. They have extensive tutoring experience with a track record of success, helping students achieve their academic goals.

Tutoring Experience

I embarked on my tutoring journey during my undergrad years, guiding high school students through their A-level biology curriculum. Between 2016 to 2018, I mentored over 20 students, many of whom surpassed their predicted grades, with a remarkable 80% achieving an A or A*.

During my PhD at Oxford, I organized weekly sessions for undergraduates, breaking down intricate biological processes into comprehensible insights. I also partnered with local schools, giving talks on the importance and applications of genetics in the modern world.

In the past year alone, I've worked with over 50 students online, adapting to the challenges and leveraging the benefits of virtual learning. The transition was an enriching experience, enabling a global reach and diverse teaching environments.

Tutoring Approach

My approach is holistic and student-centered. Firstly, I focus on establishing a solid foundation, ensuring that the basics are crystal clear before advancing to more complex topics.

Secondly, I integrate real-life examples from my research experience, showcasing the applicability of what's being learned. It's not about memorizing facts, but understanding and appreciating the bigger picture. I find that connecting classroom knowledge to real-world scenarios fuels curiosity and retention.

Lastly, every student learns differently, and recognizing this, I adapt my methods accordingly. Whether it's visual aids, hands-on experiments, or discussion-driven sessions, I cater to the student's learning style, always seeking feedback and aiming for continuous improvement.
