**My personality

I am a hardworking and passionate individual who is willing to help in any way possible. As a medical student, I have and continue to develop necessary communication skills, especially having worked with people of all ages. Having been both Head Girl and a netball player I developed both leadership and teamwork skills, ensuring that I am comfortable in both positions and can apply my skills to any scenario. I work very well under pressure and can take initiative in unpredictable situations highlighted by my motivation and perseverance to get things done. Having both academic and social intelligence means that I will work well in any given situation.

**My experience

I have experience in a level biology, gcse maths and science, ks3 maths and science.

**My format of lessons, teaching style and engagement with students

I conduct my lessons on a one to one basis,I would prefer to teach A-Level Biology.

I tend to adapt to how the student learns so for example some prefer to be taught listening while I present through PowerPoints and then we go through questions. Others learn via questions straight away. I always guide the student through a few examples before giving them time to try a few and then we go through them together. All in all my teaching style is very flexible and adaptable to how the students learn as I am aware everyone has different styles. I’m quite a visual and active learner so I tend to incorporate that into my teaching. I love children and have loads of experience working with them. I build relationships by getting to know my students on a personal level. I’m a strong believer in making my sessions as comfortable as possible - I don’t look at it like a teacher/student relationship but more of me being a guide to their learning.

**My success stories

A lot of students in the past have opened up to me and I feel that helps strengthen their learning in the sense they feel more at ease with me to make mistakes and develop their skills. I’m yet to see what my a level biology girl achieved but my maths tutee started at 58% on her first maths test and achieved 90% in her end of year one.
