Rawan E.

Hi! My name is Rawan and I'm a Final year Medical Student at University College London (UCL) with an intercalated degree in Paediatrics and Child Health also from UCL. Biology, Chemistry and Maths all make up large parts of my degrees and I would love to share my passion for them with students! Having been through the gruelling admissions process for medical school which also included acceptance for interview at Oxford, I understand just how hard it can be to get everything right. With just 1 in 10 applicants getting a place, it has never been tougher. Luckily, I can help with everything from personal statements and interview prep through to admissions tests, having achieved all A* and 9 grades at GCSE and all A* grades at A Level. As your tutor, I will help to bring out that drive and passion that you need to succeed in securing a university place and gaining excellent GCSE & A-Level grades. I also have a lot of experience tutoring 11+ and 13+ students, having worked in tuition centre settings helping children to secure places in the top private and grammar schools. Doing these exams myself provided me with invaluable experiences and tips that I would love to be able to pass on! 

I understand the feeling of being completely stuck. I've felt it many times at various points and it's nothing to be worried about. Nobody can do it all on their own! Having had experience of tutoring before, I have found that every session needs to be different. Different students learn in different ways, so I like to be flexible with my sessions by collating various resources and designing activities specifically for each session. After teaching for more than 700 hours, I have received many positive reviews from parents and students regarding the structure of my sessions. My general session plan will be to focus on 2-3 specific points to ensure that you have a thorough understanding of all the content and don't gloss over anything. Unfortunately though, just learning everything and regurgitating it isn't enough anymore, understanding and applying your knowledge to every situation is essential for picking up those extra few marks that can make all the difference. This is the hard bit but do not despair! That's precisely why I like to focus on application of knowledge by regularly testing you with exam-style questions to make sure that your knowledge is just as comprehensive as you need it to be.
