Lania M.

Hello, my name is Lania and i'm currently studying medicine at the University of Nottingham. I was successful in both my GCSEs and A levels and managed to obtain the highest grades by incorporating a variety of study techinques into my routine! I've been tutoring for just over 3 years now and love to pass on my passion for learning science onto my students.

Most of my students over the past 3 years have often referred to me as as a fun mentor as I also give them advice on how to cope with the stress of academic life and trying to achieve your maximum potential whilst balancing other day to day hobbies and social activities. Seeing as I was volunteering in a hospital, working as a tutor, doing online work experience, and studying for my A levels and UCAT exams all at the same time, I can really relate to the time management problems my students seem to face and love to instruct them on how to cope with maintaining all the relevant commitments they have made to pursue their dreams. 

I love to tailor to each individual student's preferred approaches especially since I have experience teaching students with special needs and learning disabilities, therefore in the first session I always ask the student what they think is the most effective way for me to teach them and we take it from there. Seeing as I am a very visual learner myself, I love incorporating activities and videos and analogies in order to explain more difficult concepts. In addition, I tend to refrain from assigning exam questions early on until I feel the student has a solid understanding of each topic through the weekly quizzes I set at the beginning of each lesson. Repetition has a huge role in my tutoring style so the content is stored in their long term memory before we tackle exam questions.
