LoginDaniel - Shepherd's Bush tutor
Information About Daniel:
Personal Description:
I am currently studying Graduate Medicine at Imperial College London having previously graduated from Cardiff University with First Class BSc (Hons).
My undergraduate degree is in Biomedical Science and Anatomy covering a wide range of sciences including physiology, genetics, cell biology, and specifically anatomical science. In addition to graduating with a BSc, I was awarded a prize for the best final year project in my subject.
At University I am also the Chair of our class society committee representing my fellow students on education, welfare and social levels.
Outside of studying, I like to explore what London has to offer... and sweat out the stress doing Bikram Yoga!
Teaching Experience:
I began to tutor whilst in secondary education, teaching basic reading and writing skills to those students with learning and behavioural difficulties. One student with ADHD presented a challenge - but I learned how to address student distraction and concentration by creating an interesting and enjoyable working environment.
Throughout higher education I have supported students with various topics of science and biomedicine where assistance was most required.
Having had lots of experience with applying to university and biomedical / medical degree courses and being on interview panels for medical school, I have become involved in assisting students in their university applications. Medical school is particularly competitive and I am able to offer help with finding the right work experience, writing personal statements and in practicing interview techniques.
Being an active member of medical school, I have been involved in training basic life support skills and clinical skills to undergrad medical students. I am currently in the clinical part of my course and am therefore in the position to offer assistance with pre-clinical medicine particularly in the areas of Anatomy and Physiology.
Tutoring Approach:
Students need to take a positive approach to their study and accept responsibility for it. From the beginning, I encourage my students to direct their own learning and to develop their own study techniques. It is important to identify this from an early stage in order to deliver the information in a suitable way. I encourage the use of visual revision - mindmaps and diagrams help to instil information.
Whilst it is important for students to develop 'out of the box' thinking, I believe it is important to remain focused on exam preparation through use of mock and past exam papers, synchronising exam technique with tuition. It is important for students to develop confidence in their subject from day one so that they not only learn the facts but are able to discuss and argue topics of interest. Through exploring the student's own subject interests I hope to help them develop that confidence.
