Information about Simone
Hello, my name is Simone and I currently study Medicine at the University of Aberdeen, after graduating with a 2.1 in Pharmacology from the University of Bristol.
I have 3 years of tutoring experience, am well versed in the current curriculum, and have a well-rounded understanding of GCSE and A-level subjects achieving 13A*-B at GCSE and 3 As at A-level.
My approach focuses on tailoring lessons to each students ability, whether they are struggling on a particular topic or wish to get ahead of the class. My lessons improve their scientific understanding whilst explaining how to implement this information in exam context. I use their subject exam board (AQA, OCR, Edexcel ect..) specification and explain each syllabus requirement using a range of tools (textbooks, visual diagrams, definitions flashcards) enabling the student to develop their understanding, and then guide them through past paper questions confirming their knowledge.
I specialise in Biology at A-level and GCSE but Im also able to teach Chemistry and Maths at GCSE and KS3 level. Furthermore I provide coaching lessons to sixth form students wishing to maximise the chances of achieveing their desired University place by UKCAT training, general personal statement and medicine personal statement help.
I am PVG certified.
A few references:
My daughter was struggling in class, and had fallen behind with her GCSE Chemistry and Biology. Simone was great, she pre-planned lessons according to the curriculum in the areas my daughter had difficulty with and explained the information using diagrams, giving examples and printed out exam questions to practice. My daughter not only caught up with her class but is doing very well.
My sons needed a bit of afterschool homework help, with my wife and I working late Simone adapted to our needs perfectly. She both friendly and professional, and helped the boys become more confident in their KS3 subjects. I would definitely recommend Simone to a friend
