Robin

I am a bilingual (German & English) student with a BSc in Geology & Biology and a MSc in Biotechnology. I am currently in my 4th year of medical school. I am extremely patient and enjoy working with my students to help them build their confidence and do the very best they can!

I have spent 8 years at 3 universities studying a variety of different sciences. During this time, I also tutored many students at all levels. My teaching style is personalised to your needs but I enjoy helping students build a skill set they can apply to their studies in order to become more confident and successful in the subjects they find most difficult.

In addition to the above, I work hard to support students through their mock and final exams. I place particular emphasis on exam technique and have found my method to be quite successful at boosting grades in a short space of time. I also am happy to set my own mock exams as well as give support with homework where needed.

A typical lesson with me lasts between 1-2 hours and will focus on a few topics that have been highlighted to me by the student or parent. A typical 1 hour structure is something like this:

0-15 minutes - Introduction to topic and in particular its relevance to the subject.
15-25 minutes - Demonstrating some example questions and solutions.
25-55 minutes - Supporting the student as they attempt questions on their own.
55-60 minutes - Setting homework (optional) and discussing next lesson plan.

Please note, the above structure is provisional and I am more than happy to discuss a bespoke plan with you.

Availability: I am pretty flexible on my availability in the evenings, mornings and on weekends depending on my lecture timetable and clinical commitments.

Willing to travel: 12 miles

Experience: I have a BSc and MSc in Geology & Biology and Biotechnology respectively. I am currently studying Medicine and Surgery at [contact detail removed].

I have tutored since my undergraduate degree and have seen students through their GCSEs and A-Levels and on to university, supporting them with their personal statements in the UCAS system.

I tutor students in the sciences but also am happy to tutor other subjects depending on level and specific requirements. Please don’t hesitate to send a message if you have a specific request.
