LoginRalph - Bristol tutor
Information About Ralph:
Personal Description:
I am a doctoral researcher at the University of Bristol, examining human and animal behaviour and psychology. Before coming to Bristol I completed a Masters course in Biology (Integrative Bioscience) at the University of Oxford, having previously gained first class honours in Natural Science (Zoology) at the University of Cambridge.
In addition to this biologically centred University Education I have recent (2004) A-levels in Maths, Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Fine Art. So, I am very used to being in an academic environment and understand the needs of students at different levels of their education. I am always very happy to share the knowledge and understanding that I have picked up with others.
Teaching Experience:
I teach part time on the Veterinary Science and Animals Behaviour and Welfare undergraduate courses at the University of Bristol, alongside my PhD research into human and animal behaviour and psychology.
I have previously tutored students in preparation for A-level, AS-level and GCSE exams in Biology and mathematics for private individuals and as a county council employee. I have also helped to prepare A-level students for (successful) interviews at Oxbridge colleges, and am keen to widen my teaching experience.
Tutoring Approach:
Firstly I would like to discuss with the student what they are hoping to gain from the tuition and then explore their current level of understanding in order to plan what would most benefit them.
The tuition will probably consist mainly of discussion that engages the student's imagination and understanding of the subjects and highlights areas that might require improvement. Practical exercises will then be used where appropriate, with critical appraisal of the student's work. The tuition may be geared towards some particular goal (exams/interviews etc.) and in this case the desired end result will of course be kept in mind.
