Information About Mahmoud:

Personal Description:

I am a 20 year old medical student at Brighton And Sussex Medical School, currently in my first year of study. I am a dedicated sportsman, especially keen on football and I also enjoy rowing. I took a gap year after college to volunteer with people with a range of disabilities and care for them. I am also extremely independent as I have lived alone for the last 4 years.

Teaching Experience:

Despite having no teaching experience, I believe working with people with disabilities, as mentioned above, has allowed me to develop the ability to effectively communicate with a wide range of people. It has taught me be patient and allowed me to develop the ability to understand other perspectives, which i believe can be important when trying to tutor.

Tutoring Approach:

During the first year of my medical study I have learned the different ways in which information is processed in the brain and the way memory works. This I feel, is invaluable knowledge when tutoring and therefore my approaches to tutoring would center around these principles. It is also important when tutoring to have objectives to allow us to work towards as a team and allows a sense of purpose and achievement when they are reached. The use of different ways to explain concepts allows the tutee to relate this concept to real life and furthers understanding and i feel, having only recently studied these subjects, I am able to use the same explanations me and those around me were taught with, and apply them to the tutee. The 'teach me' method, which is when the tutee teaches me a concept has also been shown to be very effective in consolidating understanding. Finally Enthusiasm is an important factor when tutoring, and an enthusiastic tutor is more likely to stimulate the tutee to learn. I believe I have this enthusiasm and ability to stimulate the tutee.

• A-level: biology A, chemistry A, economics A
