I'm an aspiring Medical physicist with a passion for teaching. hoping to instil a love and understanding of Physics, Maths and Biology!

My sessions are nice and easy to follow.

To begin with, I spend less than 5 minutes explaining what we will be doing in the session. In the next 20 to 25 minutes I will start to teach and explain the topic at hand. I will also go through key concepts, definitions of keywords as well as the use of some equations in real-life situations. Once the foundations are there I will then build up to harder ideas and try to relate them.

then with the remaining 25 minutes, I normally like to go through one or two simple questions to build up the student's confidence and then I will start to bring in some exam-style questions of different levels of difficulty for the students to try or to pick apart. I don't always ask students to solve or answer the questions rather than how they would go about doing it because I like to know how they think and how we can improve on strategy as well as methods.

In the last few minutes of the session, I like to ask the student how they think the lesson went and if they understood the content, I also ask them if they would like to do more exam-style questions to build up their confidence or if they would like to move onto the next topic. If there is anything they didn't like in my lesson I will tailor the lesson according to their needs and requirements
