Prashant - New Southgate tutor






Information About Prashant:


Personal Description:

I am currently a medical student studying at Imperial College. I am currently in my 4th year at medical school while also tutoring from the youth of 5 years olds to 16-18 year olds preparing for A-levels and setting there sights on further education at University. My strengths lie in maths and the 3 science's subjects which I studied at A-level.
I am a very calm and friendly person, and thrive at helping others in any way or form I can. Being a highly motivated person, I find it very challenging to try and make students of all age achieve their full potential and achieve the success I have so far and beyond.



Teaching Experience:

Through out my educational career I have always tried to tutor those younger then me.
Whilst studying at Broomfield school (New Southgate) I performed as a mentor for students in year 7 and 8 (age 11-13)
When I was in 6 form my teachers happily allowed me to run after school revision sessions for students preparing for their GCSE.
Most recently, during the summer 2006, I was asked to tutor 2 of my GP's children for 4 months.
One of the children was a 7 year old boy, and the other was a 15 year old girl preparing for her GCSE exams.

Besides having valuable experience in teaching, having spent the last year studying at Chelsea and Westminster hospital and interacting with patients, I have gained valuable inter-personal skills and how to make people feel comfortable



Tutoring Approach:

As it has only been a few years ago since I finished my a-levels, I truly do understand how difficult it maybe for students to sometimes find things difficult, boring or just feel hard to get motivated to study. Because of this, my approach to tutoring is to try and make everything as interesting as possible. I always try to make my sessions as interactive as possible, since I believe this is the best way to learn. I generally try to split my sessions into 3 different sections compromising of:
1) First understanding the students knowledge on the topic
2) Teaching the student the topic
3) Providing questions to the student to see how well they have understood
I am also a big believer in having breaks during sessions
e.g. in a 2 hour revision period ill give the student a 10 minute break after 1 hour, making the whole session last 2 hours and 10minutes, but will only charge for 2 hours.
