Zsofia

I am currently completing Bachelor`s degree programmes in Biochemistry (University College London) and Mathematics (University of Szeged).
Having been working as a private academic tutor in the subjects of Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry and Biology since the beginning of my A Level studies, I have a vast amount of experience in analysing learning styles and identifying deficiencies as well as devising procedures to improve problematic academic attitudes in order to achieve a significant enhancement in scholastic performance.
In my opinion, it is of paramount importance to methodically dissect complex concepts and thus bridge the comprehensional interstices between abstract scientific ideas and concrete laboratory experiments as part of the process.
Depending on whether a student is a visual, audial or tactile learner (or any combination of these types), I often employ interactive software packages (e.g. the integrated Algebra, Geometry, Calculus & Statistics application bundle GeoGebra for Mathematics and Physics or the molecule visualisation tool Avogadro for Chemistry and Biology), digital optical microscopes, ball-and-stick models and various other pieces of equipment in order to facilitate apprehension and aid memory retention via sensory engagement.

I am intimately familiar with the general as well as subject-specific requirements of all major Examination Boards in the United Kingdom, including AQA, Pearson: Edexcel and Cambridge Assessment: OCR, CAIE, CAAT & CAE.


Please find below the list* of courses in whose specification I am substantially well-versed:

Experience: Primary school pupils whom I tutored in Mathematics have improved by two grades on average, while many of my secondary school biology tutees have successfully participated in academic competitions at levels ranging from regional to international.
In addition to this, all sixth form students under my tuition have been offered places at such prestigious (principally Russell Group) institutions of higher education as King’s College London, Queen Mary University of London, Royal Holloway University of London, University College London, the University of Edinburgh or the University of Warwick and/or received invitations to attend an interview at either the University of Oxford or Cambridge.
As a UCAS Application tutor, I have assisted 80+ students in composing their Personal Statements over the past 4 years.

DBS Check: Yes
