I am currently studying at UCL, one of the best universities, for Applied Medical Sciences (currently achieving a first-class 75%). Yet, I am also a young tutor who considers social values and continuously creating experiences with the students to be important for me.

Past student placements and final grades (after tuition): Oxford Biology - Biology A* (from A); UCL Pharmacology - Chemistry A (from D); Glasgow Microbiology Biology A (from B); Birmingham Law - Biology & Maths As (from B).

I am someone who has achieved high academic success with 11A*s and 1 A in my GCSE subjects and 4A*s in my A-Level subjects. I have participated in the UKMT (UK Mathematics Challenge) every year in my secondary school years, achieving Gold awards throughout with the nomination of being the first in the whole school. I also challenged myself through Chemistry and Physics Olympiads, which required a high level of A-Level study content knowledge, as well as more in-depth knowledge during my A-Level studies, achieving High Bronze awards as well. Not only am I determined to excel academically, but I also enjoy hobbies that are based on creativity: DIY crafts and art, playing the piano, dancing, sports, and ballet. I am also fluent in English and relatively fluent in Korean, with a basic level of French language.

I tutor Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Mathematics, all up to A-Level standards.

I have taught various age groups from 5 to 24, from being a school tutor to privately helping others in need, regardless of age, as nothing is ever too late. I have also held responsibility as a School Ambassador and volunteered as a Reader Leader who helps those who struggle with reading and understanding the story, with success. Read less

My teaching methodology is flexible to efficiently carry out tutoring sessions suited for each individual. I collate useful resources in the most appropriate way for the individual's own learning style. Going through the challenging content clearly, I then check their understanding through factual or application questionnaires (interactive activities such as quizzes or mix-and-match exercises, tailored to their needs). Through my interactive tutoring sessions, my students always develop their confidence. Read less
