Georgia - Holloway tutor






Information About Georgia:


Personal Description:

I am currently in my fourth year of studying Medicine at University College, so still being in the throes of education myself I very much understand what it is like to be on the receiving end of teaching- both good and bad! Two years ago I graduated from a degree in Neuroscience with a high 2.1, and then took a gap year to do a ski season in the Alps before travelling around South America. I am now back in Medicine having started my clinical training.



Teaching Experience:

Although this is the first time that I have done any formalised tutoring, I have had experience. In my A-Level year I tutored GCSE students in chemistry. These were girls who just needed extra time and explanation in certain areas of the course so the sessions were mostly structured by the girls themselves, who were less worried about asking me about the areas they did not understand, than asking a teacher. All of the subjects that I am offering to teach are subjects that I got an A* grade in at GCSE and a high A grade in at A-Level.



Tutoring Approach:

I sat my GCSEs 7 years ago, and (although suddenly that sounds like ages) I can vividly remember what they were like -i.e. not very pleasant at all- so I am aware of the demands of the current syllabuses on pupils. I have no formal teaching qualifications so I am very eager to tailor my sessions to the pupil's and the parents' requirements. I think it is important for the tutoring sessions to be structured, but also relaxed and unintimidating enough that the pupil feels able to voice any problems that they may be having. I am very flexible with my time so don't worry about any hectic schedules!
