Yonatan

I am currently a Neuroscience MSc student at King's College London and am a graduate of Biomedical Sciences from the University of Newcastle, where I was a medical student for two years before deciding to switch course. I've always found sciences to be absolutely fascinating and enjoy sharing my passion for them in a way that helps others build their understanding.

Tutoring Experience

I have been tutoring A-level and GCSE students for three years. In that time I have helped over 20 different students at varying levels and points on their courses to feel more confident in their understanding of subjects and feel better prepared for their exams. My support has consistently resulted in students achieving or exceeding their desired grades.

I also have experience running educational sessions on a broad range of topics for children aged between eight and 15 while volunteering as part of a youth movement. Prior to this I became involved in a mentoring programme which aimed to provide guidance to year seven students struggling with maths.

I really enjoy tutoring and always bring that enthusiasm to every lesson. The prospect of helping students not just understand the content, but also appreciate how interesting and amazing these subjects can be, gives me a sense of excitement and joy.

Tutoring Approach

My approach to tutoring is first and foremost student-orientated. Establishing teaching styles that best suit a student is key to ensuring lesson time is used effectively. I believe that having a strong rapport with students and promoting open discussion is a key aspect in building confidence and engagement.

Forming a strong understanding of basic principles is the first step in grasping more complex topics. By creating a holistic foundation, students' gain skills which makes comprehension of new ideas easier and more seamless. This prepares them for any exam situation.

In addition, I realise that exam technique is (unfortunately) a significant part of academic success, and therefore bring this into my lessons alongside content.
