Information about William
Hello! I`m Will, nice to meet you. I`m a medical doctor with a passion for teaching. I`ve enjoyed teaching junior colleagues throughout university and postgraduate work so much that I`ve decided to do a lot more of it. I`m currently taking a break from medicine to teach and pursue other interests.
Availability: Very flexible, daytime, evening and weekends.
Willing to travel: 10 miles
Experience: Professional tutoring certificate from the Tutoring Standards Agency - Distinction
I`ve enjoyed teaching anatomy and physiology to colleagues and medical students throughout the past 8 years of medical school and postgraduate work. However, I realised that I`ve always missed the pure sciences, so in March this year I started tutoring GCSE Maths and Science. I managed to boost my students by 3 grades on their final exams. This was incredibly rewarding. I achieved high A grades in Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Maths at A level and I`m confident that I can help any student to do the same. Working in medicine has given me the opportunity to communicate in a wide range of pressured and challenging scenarios with diverse individuals. Subsequently I`ve developed the ability to quickly build rapport with people who are often anxious, stressed or demotivated. This gives me the confidence to connect with a student, communicate effectively and provide motivation when required.
Every student has a different learning style and requires a tailored approach. Initially i like to establish where the students weaknesses are with careful questioning to test their understanding. Once we`ve identified weaknesses, the aim is to help the student fill these gaps with thought provoking questions and creating and holding space for them to reason it through. I aim not to talk that much, and the student to think a lot. If your brain is hurting after the session, that`s a good sign!
This way the student is as actively involved in the process as possible, thereby building and growing independent learning skills which are essential for university and beyond!
As I`m new to the site I don`t have any reviews on here, however I can provide some from past pupils on request.

We are so delighted with William. He is always on time and both keen and enthusiastic. My son is learning a great deal and understands clearly what is being explained, even the most complicated physics. He is also very generous in staying behind a little longer when something needs explaining. Excellent tutor.
