Rakshita Shamloll
I am a current student at St George’s University of London studying Biomedical science. I have developed a deep appreciation for science for a variety of reasons: It helps me understand the world around me, it helps give logical meanings to chaotic and complicated concepts, there is always something to learn and it has a huge impact on human life. Outside of studying I enjoy working on a variety of crochet projects, I hold teaching sessions with children as a member of the Teddy Bear hospital society and I volunteer as a dementia patient befriender.
Precious Ogie
I am a recent Biomedical science graduate from St George’s University of London, the completion of my degree has only further ignited my passion for education and knowledge. Having tutored in the past and throughout the duration of my degree, my love for educating has only bloomed. I am a scientist by nature, and this carries into my professional life in my accuracy, punctuality, and desire to excel. I strive to give 100% of my time, effort, and attention to my students, because having been a student, I understand the effects a truly outstanding tutor or teacher can have on a young person’s life. I am modest, approachable and relatable, my journey to where I am today is simply because of the helping hands I’ve had along the way; this is what I intent to be for my students – the helping hand they need. When I am not thinking of ways to help people or pondering on biological concepts, I enjoy reading and writing on my blog! I consider myself an artist at heart and love to draw and sketch in the photorealistic style, my medium of choice being graphite!
Jasmine Michalowska
I graduated from the University of Leicester with an integrated Masters in Physics. I’m currently doing a part-time PhD in BioPhysics at University College London, where I’m hoping to shed light on how cancer develops at the earliest of stages. I’ve always loved physics and maths due to the elegance in which simple formulas and fundamental theories can be applied to complicated, real world situations, helping us understand and see the world around us in a way we couldn’t before. I enjoy trying to pass this passion on to students of all ages in both science and mathematics, helping them understand the relevance of these subjects outside of their exams, whilst instilling confidence in their own abilities to solve problems and persevere with challenging topics. I have extensive tutoring experience with students of all abilities, including those with special educational needs. I am compassionate and patient in my approach, and am able to adapt my teaching style dynamically to each student, focusing on their strengths while finding any weaknesses that may prevent them from achieving their goals. I develop long term, personalised study plans with each student and monitor their progress throughout our work together, ensuring they’re staying on track, and adapting the plan and my tutoring methods if there are any plateaus in progress. I am honest and open in my communication, ensuring parents and students are informed of study plans, progress and any additional attitudes and behaviours that are relevant to the student’s academic progress. I understand the importance of this collaborative approach in order to ensure tuition continues to be beneficial, and the student achieves their full potential.
Andreea Maria Dinu
I am a first year undergraduate Natural Sciences student at University College London, specializing in Biomedical Sciences and Organic Chemistry. My interdisciplinary programme gave me the opportunity to study various science modules (Chemistry, Biology, Mathematics, Statistics) and build up my understanding of the world around us by gaining different scientific perspectives on every problem. I really enjoy my subjects as Chemistry and Biology have enabled me to create my own molecular world, while Mathematics shaped my logical thinking. I am eager to help my tutees discover the creativity behind each chemical reaction and build together our way to the answer of every Maths problem. I believe by sharing my curious nature and by teaching them that there is no such thing as a “silly” question, our lessons will be enjoyable and constructive! In my spare time, I can be found reading a book, doing horse riding, or cycling across London.
Minahil Khan
I’m currently studying Chemistry with Biomedicine at Kings College London. Chemistry is my favourite subject and this comes across in my teaching, I like to teach with the goal that a student should end up loving the subject as much as I do and from that students naturally progress to achieve great things. Being an experienced tutor has given me vast tips and tricks to get make my sessions engaging and help students reach their full potential. Due to studying chemistry I am very interested in skincare and the formulation of skincare products from different areas of the world. Outside of chemistry I love reading and reviewing books, I am an avid debater and love to debate current affairs and other controversial topics.
Eleanor Jackson
Hello! I am a first year PhD student at the University of Sheffield looking at serotonin metabolism in ADHD, a neuroscience project. I completed my Undergraduate and masters education in Neuroscience at UCL, and took a break from accademia to work in SEN schools for 2 years before going back into the lab. I love all things science and I love teaching science, but I also do a bit of english on the side too! I have been a tutor for the past 5 years. In the past I have worked in the education teams of multiple different science museums, so my main attitude towards learning is that it should be both fun and educational. I love my degree and biosciences because i get to spend my days looking at the organ that is responsible for all of shakespeares poems and all the music ever written. With tutoring style, I find it most important to pinpoint peoples specific interests, and try to make learning content as relatable and interesting as possible- especially with science, its much easier to learn when you know why something is important in real life.
Michael Chukwukere
I graduated from Gregory University in 2021 where I obtained my B.Sc/B.Eng in Electrical/Electronics Engineering; and I’m currently doing my MSc in Mechatronics & Robotics at the University of Leeds. I have a fascination with the key sciences that make up the physically perceivable universe – Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics – because I believe that, only with a full understanding of the laws that govern the universe, would you be able to build systems that break those laws. I don’t learn things just to understand them; I learn things to deconstruct them, rebuild them and optimize them. In my spare time, I absolutely love movies, drawing and playing video games – but not even Triple A games, mind you. I’m talking the absolute RETRO-est of the retro games – these give me joy!
Anand Aggarwal
I’m a current fourth year student at the University of Bath studying Chemistry. For my A Levels I did Maths, Further Maths, Physics and Chemistry and one of the things I like most about these subjects is the logical nature and structure of the content; this leads nicely into developing problem solving skills which is one of the things I most enjoy about teaching.
