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.
