Jasmine

Hello.

I am an experienced and passionate tutor currently in the 4th year of medical school degree in Brighton. I have a strong academic record having achieved all A* level at GCSE and A-level and a Sussex university scholarship.

I have 4 years of teaching and tutoring experience, with a variety of ages and levels. It is something I find incredibly rewarding and enjoyable and hope to continue with.

I have a thorough knowledge of the GCSE and A-level curriculum I teach to guide students through their exam preparation. Equally I encourage students to be inquisitive and to ask questions so they develop a thorough knowledge and enthusiasm for the subjects they are studying.

I can also guide students through UCAS applications and personal statement preparation, as well as UKCAT/BMAT exams for any students planning to apply to medical or dentistry school.

If you have any questions or would like to arrange a meeting to find out a bit more about the tutoring I offer and what you`d like to get out of the sessions please do contact me by phone or send an email.

I have a valid CRB check.

Other Interests

I have a keen interest in acting, performing in many plays most recently in The Tuesday Group as part of The Brighton Fringe Festival as well as performing in Brighton`s sell-out Medic Revue two years running at the Sallis Benney Theatre in Brighton. I also play the saxophone and the flute.

Availability: I am available weekday evenings and most weekends.
