• When did you develop an interest in your chosen field and in private tutoring?

  This all start many years ago with casually helping my younger brother (now he is studying medicine 😉) to improve his grades in year 6 and year 7 onwards. He was struggling quite badly. After my informal lessons he got highest grades while being a bottom set.
  
  This has helped me realise, I may have potential. One thing I have realised is, that getting top grades is only a part of being a good tutor, the most important skill is to pass that valuable knowledge adn transfer it to the student.

• Tell us more about the subject you teach, the topics you like to discuss with students (and possibly those you like a little less).

  Well, my specialty is in GCSE maths biology, physics and chemistry. As well as A-level Biology, Chemistry, Maths. Chemistry and Biology is pretty much what my course as imbedded in it.

• Did you have any role models; a teacher that inspired you?

  My role model is myself, my opponent is myself, and my inspiration is myself also the results i get from my work.

• What do you think are the qualities required to be a good tutor?

  Qualities are endless for being a good tutor, the main ones i think are knowledgeable, patient, to have sympathy and empathy, compliant, adaptive.

• Provide a valuable anecdote related to your subject or your days at school.

  Well, I was not the most well behaved or top student at the start. And I am a living proof that coming from a disadvantageous background, going to a state public school and sixth form in London, get good grades, and also get into Dentistry, which is one of the toughest courses to get into.

• What were the difficulties or challenges you faced or still facing in your subject?

  Well, the subjects that I tutor are the subjects I excel in.

• Do you have a particular passion? Is it teaching in general or an element of the subject or something completely different?

  Yes once I graduate and become a doctor, I would like to go into private dentistry but also be a clinical tutor in my university dental school.
