Teaching Experience 📝

I have 3 years of experience tutoring GCSE maths face-to-face at both foundation and higher levels, in which I created my own lesson plans based on assessments of my students progress and speaking to them openly about which topics they felt they needed support in.

I covered a wide range of subjects including Maths, English, Reading, and Science. This experience improved my patience and adaptability as young students are often unpredicatable and have shorter attention spans. This required creativity and made me learnt to teach in a fun and lighthearted manner to maintain the attention of the children.

During Sixth Form, I took up the role of being a student mentor, which involved creating Loom videos teaching varying topics in GCSE Maths, Chemistry, Biology, Economics and Food & Nutrition. I created videos, animations and PowerPoints to teach subject matter, and learnt to use the Loom screenrecording platform, then uploading the videos onto a server to make them accessible to all GCSE students.

This virtual teaching style was fun and I enjoyed using different softwares to make unique, short and snappy videos. Since entering medical school, I have become a tutor with The Armitage Foundation. I have done online webinars as well as in person events in schools in Leeds and surrounding areas, working with students from Year 7 to Year 12. I have worked with classrooms of children to get them engaged in medical topics, teaching them science and helping them broaden their understanding of medicine.

In this role I have gained an insight into classroom-style teaching, as well as handling large groups of students.Additionally, I have spent a year virtually mentoring aspiring medical students in Year 12. I have reviewed personal statements for them, given them strategic application advice based on their grades, contextual information and admissions tests, as well as coached them on how to conquer the UCAT.

Recently in the build up to their university applications, I have started working on their interview technique, giving them short mock interviews and helping to improve their confidence and interview technique.
