Alena S.

I’m a medical student with a passion for teaching Biology, Science, and Maths at primary and GCSE levels. Almost 10 years in higher education, I’ve learned two key things: 1) Every student can succeed with the right teaching approach, and 2) Learning should be active, using techniques like spaced repetition and active recall. I focus on breaking down complex topics, using examples, mnemonics, and past papers to help students understand. I’m patient and adaptable, always ready to find new ways to explain concepts if needed. Outside of academics, I’m passionate about sports, gaming, and tech. I’ve coached an under-15 basketball team and teach guitar at my church, which helps me connect with students and build trust to boost their confidence and performance. I graduated from Glasgow in 2020 with a 2:1 in Biomedical Sciences and am currently pursuing a medical degree. My strong academic background in Maths, Biology, Chemistry, English, and Geography enables me to offer well-rounded and insightful tutoring.

I am an experienced and dedicated educator committed to helping students reach their full potential through engaging, interactive, and student-centered lessons. With a strong track record of improving scores, I adapt my teaching methods to suit each learner’s needs. I specialize in teaching 11+, Primary Maths, and GCSE subjects, including Science (Physics, Chemistry, Biology) and Mathematics. My approach fosters confidence, critical thinking, and a genuine understanding of concepts, ensuring students excel academically while enjoying the learning process. As a highly effective online tutor, I hold a TESOL certificate and have over three years of experience teaching 11+, Primary Maths, and GCSE subjects, including Science (Physics, Chemistry, Biology) and Mathematics. Currently completing my Bachelor of Engineering degree in Mechanical Engineering, I bring both academic expertise and practical teaching experience to my lessons. Having achieved top grades (A) in GCSE Mathematics, Physics, and Biology, I understand the challenges students face and tailor my teaching to help them succeed. My approach fosters a dynamic and engaging learning environment, building confidence and ensuring students master key concepts to achieve their academic goals.

I have graduated my Accounting and Finance degree at the University of Sussex. I am an advocate for hard work and smart work, always emphasising the importance of practice to learn, whilst adapting to the needs of my students. Accounting and Finance BSc (Hons) from University of Sussex

I am a dedicated and enthusiastic tutor with a strong passion for helping students achieve their academic goals. As a third-year medical student, having topped my year in all the sciences, I bring a wealth of knowledge, particularly in biology, chemistry coupled with a deep understanding of effective learning strategies. My academic journey has instilled in me a commitment to excellence and a genuine interest in fostering a love for learning in others. Throughout my educational and professional experiences, I have developed a solid foundation in problem-solving and critical thinking, skills that I strive to impart to my students. My approach to tutoring is highly personalized, focusing on each student’s unique strengths and areas for improvement. By creating an engaging and supportive learning environment, I aim to empower students to build confidence, master challenging concepts, and reach their full potential. Above all, I believe in nurturing a growth mindset and fostering resilience in the face of academic challenges. I am committed to making learning a positive and rewarding experience, helping students not only excel academically but also develop skills that will serve them well beyond the classroom. I am a dedicated and enthusiastic tutor with a strong passion for helping students achieve their academic goals. As a third-year medical student at Imperial College London, I bring a wealth of knowledge in the sciences, particularly in biology, chemistry, and anatomy, coupled with a deep understanding of effective learning strategies. My academic journey began at Sullivan Upper School in Northern Ireland, where I achieved A* grades in Biology, Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics and was honored with distinctions such as being in the top 5 percentile in A-level Mathematics and earning a Silver Award in the Chemistry Olympiad. These academic achievements have been the foundation of my commitment to excellence and my passion for fostering a love for learning in others. At Imperial College London, I continue to grow academically and professionally, taking on leadership roles such as Vice President of several societies, including the Cardiology Society and the Pharmacology Society, and serving as the National Conference Lead for the Society of Research and Academia. In addition to my academic pursuits, I have extensive tutoring experience. As a private tutor with Tutor Hunt, I have provided one-on-one instruction tailored to each student’s strengths and needs. My role as a lecturer at Med-Ed involved creating high-quality teaching materials and supporting first-year medical students in their academic growth. Additionally, I have delivered presentations and taught at conferences, further honing my ability to communicate complex ideas effectively and engage diverse audiences.
