Megan (Tutor in Nottingham)

** NOW ACCEPTING NEW STUDENTS FOR SEPTEMBER 2019 **
***I AM NOW BASED IN NOTTINGHAM***

Hello and welcome to my Tutorhunt page.

I have been tutoring for the past four years- specialising in Chemistry and Biology. I currently hold a 2:1 Degree in Biochemistry from Manchester University, and I enter my 3rd year of Graduate Medicine in September 2019.

I have had experience tutoring all GCSE and A-level syllabus` for science (I limit myself to GCSE Physics only).

I have an excellent working knowledge of all A-level principles, but where I make the most impact on my students is by bringing my detailed knowledge. I find especially for students after the A* grades- syllabus knowledge is now insufficient. However, I appreciate that some students feel overwhelmed by the jump from GCSE to A-level and can find themselves falling behind. To remedy this I believe in consolidating the keystone topics of science- ones which carry through to degree level. I always hope to foster a love of science which I am incredibly enthusiastic about!

I advocate teaching students how to think and learn their topics, rather than expecting a blind rote-learning technique. I do this by including real life examples from medicine and pharmacology- always relevant in Chemistry and Biology.

Having successfully applied to two Russel Group universities for Biochemistry and now Medicine I am very capable in assisting with UCAS applications and personal statements. Together, one of my A-level students and I secured an unconditional place at University- before her exam results.

I have an A-level background in English Literature, so I am able to help students with scientific essays and their writing style; relevant for synoptic essays.

I am a relaxed and friendly teacher, I always want my students to feel confident in asking me questions and engaging in discussion with me.

Availability: As I will be studying for my medical degree my availability may be variable. I will do my best to keep days and times consistent when arranged.

I will be available evenings and weekends, and occasionally in the daytime. Please get in touch for details.

I am happy to tutor from my home if necessary, or I am able to tutor within the Medical School on the Queens Medical Centre Campus.

Fully DBS checked- please ask if you would like me to bring the certificate along.

Willing to travel: 4 miles

Experience: Over 4 years professional tutoring experience.

Successful University applications for myself and my students to competitive courses and universities.
