Information About Stephanie:

Personal Description:

I have recently completed my first year of Biochemistry at Oxford University. I have always been passionate about the sciences and I am now looking forward to the chance of encouraging more young people to engage with the sciences.

I am highly organised and feel that my drive, commitment and enthusiasm for all my subjects would come across in my teaching. As well as passing exams, I would strive to help any tutee reach their full potential whilst trying to widen their enjoyment of the sciences, integrating the subjects and showing how they apply in the real world.

I am returning to Oxford in October to begin my second year, but due to our relatively short eight week terms, I will be available again at Christmas (all of December and early January) and at Easter (March and early April).

Teaching Experience:

While still at school, as well as a mentoring program, I took part in a buddy reading program, where as sixth form students, we would go and read with individual year 4 students in order to give them the practise and support they needed. Also, in my school holidays, I have frequently helped out at my mother's primary school, from simply helping to organise work and marking, to chaperoning on school trips and acting as a classroom assistant. These roles have helped develop my communication skills, as well as my patience and sensitivity with regards to others' learning processes.

In addition to these skills, my abilities to work as part of a team, and especially with younger children, were enhanced when I took part in the Young Enterprise scheme in the sixth form, where I worked as part of a group to organise children's birthday parties as a business. It was a thoroughly rewarding process, and we were highly successful in tailor-making each party to the needs of each child and their parents.

Tutoring Approach:

As a tutor, I would be flexible and would try to tailor sessions to meet individual student's needs. I understand that everyone has a different way of learning, and to that end, I would endeavour to find the most effective teaching style for each student. I would use interactive sessions to encourage enjoyment of each subject as I believe that developing an interest in a branch of study is very important and goes a long way to developing ability, as well as helping to engage students.

As a tutor, I would encourage students to challenge themselves academically, whilst providing guidance and aid where needed.

Qualifications:

• A-Level: Biology (A), Chemistry (A), Maths (A), Physics (A)
• GCSEs: 9 A*, 1 A
