Hello, my name is Dominic and I am currently studying Biochemistry at University. My passion for this subject comes from combining my two favourite subjects from school - biology and chemistry - which allows me to explore how the human body works and why it works in the way it does. As a former participant in a tutoring programme, I understand the value of personalised support and guidance. I aim to share my experiences and knowledge with my students, and help them achieve their academic goals. Having been through the same experiences as my students, I can certainly empathise with the pressures that arise during the lead-up to exams and the exam period itself. My approach to tutoring is to begin by reviewing the content of the subject in question, ensuring that the student has a solid understanding of the material. I then help students understand how the content will be examined, showing the types of questions that will be asked and offering advice on exam technique, including how to recognise common tricks that exams use. Finally, I provide targeted support for specific exams, reviewing in-class tests or mock exams, and answering any questions the student has about the subject. I believe that my experiences and expertise can make a significant difference in helping you achieve your academic goals.

I am currently studying Neuroscience at King's College London this academic year 2024/25 and hope to become a tutor for you or your child. With my previous experience volunteering as a Patient befriender and a Mealtime buddy at Princess Royal University Hospital as part of the King’s College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, I believe that I have the appropriate communication skills and teamwork to be able to provide an enjoyable teaching experience for my students. **Teaching style** To me, good communication is consistently and actively listening to the student’s needs and goals for their academic progress. This is very important to me as my role as a tutor and I would do this in a number of ways; - Clear presentations - Working through example questions/past papers with the student - Allowing the student time to make mistakes and walk through what to do next time - Draw/demonstrate any key concepts and break them down into easy and understandable points - Using engaging videos - NO QUESTION IS EVER A STUPID QUESTION! Whilst implementing all that is described above, I would create a safe, friendly and judgment-free space so student feel at ease to learn and develop an in-depth interest in their subject/s. As well as academic support, I am more than happy to support GCSE and A Level students to achieve their dreams by supporting your university application. I would do this by tailoring my support to whatever aspirations the student may have, to provide the relevant information for appropriate work experience, supercurriculars and extracurriculars as well as help to structure a fantastic personal statement. **My experience** During my time volunteering, I was committed to supporting patients the Dementia and Cardiology ward by meeting any dietary requests, provided a safe space for patients to talk to me about any queries and/or concerns or just to have a nice conversation. I learnt how to tailor my way of communication to the patients’ needs (i.e., difficulty hearing whilst wearing PPE) and become confident talking to elderly patients about their mental health—even a mere game of chess or painting their nails could lift their mood! Seeing how medical professionals work together to create a friendly environment amidst chaos was inspirational, helping me remain calm when working under pressure. Outside from my clinical experience, working at the call centre of Specsavers as an Optical Assistant helped me improve my ability to work under pressure more effectively and efficiently despite feeling stressed. When working for Specsavers, I was capable of presenting a high level of customer service when booking or cancelling a range of different appointments (including triaging emergency bookings), and informing patients of availability of glasses whilst being responsible for the call-centre on Sundays. My work experience at a local nursery taught me how to creatively encourage play and fun my joining in and making new and engaging games and help run Storytime and Circle Time sessions whilst bearing in mind their safety and well-being. Furthermore, ensuring that the young toddlers had eaten and taking naps at allocated times was a responsibility of mine that I found important as it allowed the children to learn the significance of rest for their minds and bodies. I look forward to being able to tutor incoming students and hope you will find my teaching an enjoyable and beneficial experience!

Hello! My name is Gavindu and I'm currently doing an Integrated Masters in Computer Science at the University of York. I have been tutoring for 2.5 years in Maths and Computer Science, as well as being a programming tutor for CodeNinjas. I have completed formal training in tutoring and have a lot of experience tutoring children with special needs. My teaching style consists more of building the child's interest in the subject, rather than teaching the content for the sake of it, since interest is what helps understanding and inspires further learning. With that, my lessons will be fun and engaging while being fully informative, as the lessons will be based fully on the exam specification. As for my results, I have achieved 9's in Maths, Computer Science, Music and all sciences. I also achieved an A* in Computer Science at A level and a few marks off an A* in maths. I have also completed grade 8 and 7 in piano and guitar, winning a formal competition for piano in the process. I am happy to do trial services to see if I'm the right fit for your child, and I'm happy to answer any questions you may have! Thanks for reading, Gavindu

Outside of academia, I am an enthusiast of hiking, a discipline that has fortified my resilience, determination, and goal-setting abilities. I believe these traits are equally valuable in a learning environment, and I incorporate them into my tutoring approach. This method helps students understand that learning, like calisthenics, is a process that involves setting and working progressively towards achievable goals. As a tutor, my mission is not only to facilitate academic improvement but also to inspire a genuine love for learning in my students. I strive to create an environment where students feel empowered, motivated, and excited to reach their full potential. I am looking forward to partnering with you and your child on their academic journey!
