Information About Fenella:

Personal Description:

Hi, my name is Fenella. I am currently studying in the first year of the postgraduate Medicine degree at the University of Warwick, which I really enjoy. I have also studied at the University of Birmingham, where I gained a First Class (hons) BSc in Human Biology. I really enjoy both studying and teaching sciences, and have a great deal of enthusiasm for my subject.

Teaching Experience:

Whilst I have no formal teaching qualifications, I have a great deal of experience which I feel makes me a good tutor. I particpated in mentoring schemes whilst in sixth form, helping to teach Biology to younger students. I have also helped the children of family friends with their schoolwork, and have informally 'tutored' my younger sister through a number of her exams. In addition, I have spent time teaching English in Thailand to 11-13yr olds. Whilst this was not directly related to Science, it gave me invaluable experience in planning and carrying out lessons.

Tutoring Approach:

I feel that if students enjoy their studies, then the subject becomes instantly more memorable. Therefore, I try to make sure that my tuition is enjoyable for the student. By relating sciences to everyday life, I feel that they become easier to understand and remember. I like to build up a strong relationship with the student, so that I know where their strengths and weaknesses lie and how I can work with these to ensure that my students learn as much as possible. I also feel that the importance of relevant exam practice cannot be underestimated, therefore I like to work through exam questions with my students and help to refine their exam technique.

Qualifications:

• BSc Human Biology - First Class
• A level Biology - A
• A level Chemistry - A
• A level Mathematics - A
