BSc Physics, The University of Manchester

✨

My favourite part about tutoring students is helping them to understand complicated topics so they can answer questions for themselves.

🎓

Rather than trying to remember formulas, try to understand the physical explanation of what's going on.

🏫

MSc Chemistry, University of Oxford

✨

My favourite part about tutoring students is the achievement you feel and the gratefulness students show when you are able to break down a tricky concept and explain it in a way they understand. Chemistry questions can often be very complex but when a student is able to understand the methods to use through my explanations and then feels comfortable in applying them to new questions it is very rewarding.

🎓

I would say a top tip for Chemistry is to do lots of practice questions. The best way to learn the concepts and apply them is through trying yourself, and if it is particularly difficult then the tutors are always there to help.

🏫

BA/BSc Philosophy, Politics and Economics, University of Warwick

✨

The best part about tutoring students is to be able to see their curiosity about the subject and the world around them grow! To be on that journey with them is truly special.

🎓

A top tip for studying economics is to always reference your graphs in the body of your essays. I always see such lovely graphs drawn by students and when they are beautifully referenced to in the essay the examiners love it!

✨

Tutoring biology, chemistry and psychology allows me to tackle the intricate mysteries of life, molecules and the mind, one student at a time. It’s the joy of sharing my passion for these subjects and helping spark understanding which makes every shift truly rewarding.

🎓

Bio: Before you memorise a process, wait until you understand the process and link concepts across topics - bio is all
​connected.
​​Chem: Get comfortable with the maths early!! Psychology: Roughly plan your 16 mark answers before writing them!

🏫

BS Information Technology with a Minor in Chemistry and Neuroscience, The University of North Carolina

✨

I love when students move beyond memorizing facts and start asking deeper questions, like why an enzyme works the way it does, or what might happen if a certain variable changed. That curiosity shows they’re not just studying for exams, they’re learning to critically think like scientists. And whether they become scientists or not, that kind of thinking will benefit them wherever they go!

🎓

Chemistry and Biology require application, don’t just memorize! Explain concepts out loud as if you’re teaching them. If you can teach it simply and explain the why, you truly understand it.

🏫

BSc Hons Natural Sciences, University of East Anglia
PGCE Secondary School Biology, The University of Manchester

✨

My favourite part about tutoring is witnessing that "aha" moment when a challenging concept finally clicks for a student. It is incredibly rewarding to see their confidence grow as their understanding grows.

✨

I really love watching a student go from not knowing how to tackle a question to feeling really confident in doing it all by themselves. It gives me a sense of privilege to watch someone grow in confidence in their own ability.

🎓

Remember they can change whatever they want with the question or give you something unfamiliar, but they can never change the science. Read the question carefully and look for clues that might help link back to something you already know.

🏫

BSAE Aerospace Engineering Physics, University of Colorado Boulder

✨

I love tutoring physics because the more you understand it the more rewarding it becomes. This makes it a real pleasure to help students grapple with the difficult ideas it presents and gain a deeper understanding of them.

🎓

My Top Tip for physics would always be to try and identify the fundamental principle(s) that relate to the question. From there, break the question down to approach it step by step and make it more manageable.

🏫

Level 7 Solicitor Apprenticeship, at Freshfields

✨

The most rewarding part is seeing students develop a genuine love for the subject, especially when everything suddenly clicks into place. It’s a great feeling to be part of that journey.

🎓

The key to success is developing a strong understanding of the content. One of the best ways to do this is by asking questions. Focus on understanding the reasoning behind concepts: why something happens, why it works that way, and why we use certain methods. This approach makes it much easier to tackle challenging application questions with confidence.
