Rachel

I am a resident Doctor working in the NHS. Before retraining in medicine I was a secondary school teacher for GCSE science. I have been a qualified teacher for 9 years and obtained my PGCE from Nottingham University. I also have a Masters degree in Chemistry (MChem) from Warwick University and a Medicine and Surgery Degree from Southampton University (BMBS). I obtained two scientific publications as a Scientific researcher at Monash University, Melbourne, Australia. Previously, I studied Maths, Further Maths, Chemistry and Psychology at ALevel obtaining A*A*A*A. I love teaching and sharing my knowledge to help others. I am highly passionate about each individual obtaining their best grades to give them many opportunities in the future. Alongside my clinical work, I train new junior doctors and medical students as an education fellow at the hospital. I no longer tutor GCSE science but reserve my tutoring time for medical students or anyone wanting to study medicine. I carry out mock interviews and can also help with personal statements and entrance exams. Please get in touch if you have any questions about the sessions I am happy to offer.

Tutoring Experience

I have been a Secondary Science teacher up to GCSE level (I specialise in Chemistry). With many responsibilities in the Science department, I helped to secure or exceed predicted grades for my students. I am now a Doctor but also an education fellow at the hospital where I am in charge of medical student and junior doctor training.

Tutoring Approach

I am a calm tutor who wants to see the best in my pupils. If the student does not understand initially I will teach in many different ways in order for them to understand the content. I am available online and tutor from my home. I occasionally tutor away from my home but this will depend on distance etc.
