Rebecca

Hi,
My name is Rebecca, and I have just submitted the thesis for my PhD. I have been investigating how blood cancers can affect other organs of the body. Before that, I did an integrated Master's in biomedical sciences and a seven-month project on wound healing.
An interesting fact about me is that I am dyslexic! This allows me to think a bit differently than other people and has helped me to develop skills in problem-solving, communicating and studying.
I am looking forward to helping other people learn at all levels and improve study skills that they can take forward.

Tutoring Experience

I have had some previous experience in tutoring, having worked with tutor groups at university. This has included study groups of my peers as well as associate tutor for medical students taking seminars in problem-based learning.
I have also had the honour of participating in some teaching days at special needs schools and one-to-one tutoring of GCSE-level students.

Tutoring Approach

My preference has always been student-led teaching. My aim is to guide the students with the resources they have as well as further resources I will prepare. If a student is unable to come to the answers I will look to try other routes before handing them the answer. The goal is to teach them methods to solve the problems in front of them and better retain the knowledge.
