Drew

University College London - PhD Stem Cell Biology

I'm Drew, a PhD candidate at UCL and a proud First Class Honours graduate from the University of Oxford, where I completed an integrated Master's in Biological Sciences. My approach to work is highly motivated and diligent, coupled with meticulous attention to detail. Despite my academic achievements, I remain approachable and easy-going. I take pleasure in the learning process and am keen to apply my skills to assist students across all educational levels.

Personally Interviewed

Our tutors go through a rigorous selection process, having been interviewed to assess their teaching skills and subject knowledge. They have extensive tutoring experience with a track record of success, helping students achieve their academic goals.

Tutoring Experience

have amassed diverse experience in tutoring, having been tutoring students both in person and online for over three years.

I have helped many students at GCSE level in the maths and science subjects, in addition to students taking A-levels in Biology and Chemistry.

These students were all able to improve their performance significantly and achieve excellent grades. Additionally, I have provided tuition to students at undergraduate and graduate university level, proof-reading and editing university projects, including essays and dissertations.

Since 2021, I have also successfully tutored over 20 international students, between the ages of 16-18, who are in the process of applying to UK universities. This has involved providing academic tutoring, help writing applications, and interview prep. A large proportion of these students were applying to oxbridge.

Tutoring Approach

Having studied for many years, and achieved great success throughout my academic career, I have built up a repertoire of valuable techniques and strategies to effectively learn and perform well in both exams and coursework assignments. I am good at creating study plans to ensure that the correct study techniques are used at different stages of the academic year to maximise effective learning and the efficient use of time.

I was tutored myself during my A-levels, so I understand that learning is difficult, and one-to-one tutoring can be an intimidating and stressful experience. My approach is therefore to be extremely patient and try to create a comfortable learning environment, where the student can feel free to ask as many questions as they like and not be afraid to make mistakes. I feel that minimizing stress with a relaxed approach is key to sustainable success.

During early parts of the academic year my sessions will largely focus on making sure all of the content is well understood, with a small focus on answering past-paper questions to put new knowledge into practice. As the year goes on this balance will shift so that more focus is put on answering questions under timed conditions, and creating resources for active techniques to memorise the content.
