Aribah I.

Hello! I completed my A levels in Biology, Psychology and Chemistry and achieved A* A* A in 2022. I am currently a Natural Sciences student at the University of Bath, studying a combination of Chemistry, Biochemistry and Psychology. I have interned as a Medical Writer at Klarity and am currently undertaking a placement year at the University of Oxford where I'm working on a research project in the Psychopharmacology and Emotion Research Lab. I first started formally tutoring in the summer of 2022 and was pleasantly surprised to discover how much I enjoyed it! Having done all my exams relatively recently, I know exactly what is required of students taking these exams and am excited to share that knowledge. I am very passionate about the subjects I offer to teach; I received my school's 'Best Student in Psychology' award in both year 12 and year 13, as well as being the only A* student during mocks and achieving the highest marks out of my cohort in the final A level. I ran my school's biology club and wrote a biomedical article which was published in the MiniMentor magazine, as well as receiving a commendation for my essay involving biological psychology and neurochemical topics for an Oxford essay competition. At school, I was a chemistry peer mentor and helped the younger years with reviewing their chemistry knowledge. One of my core beliefs is that confidence and self-efficacy are vital prerequisites for doing well, so I always encourage my students to take pride in their progress (and if I can help them to show off their knowledge in school then I definitely consider that a success!!) I look forward to getting to know you! GCSEs 7A*s, 3As A Levels - Biology [A*] OCR A - Psychology [A*] EDEXCEL - Chemistry [A] OCR A

Chemistry and Biology are challenging at the best of times - this is why I take a very thorough approach to delivering the content. I pay close attention to the specification to make sure students learn exactly what is required for them to excel in their exams. Each lesson consists of a pre-made PowerPoint tailored to the student's specific target areas where we focus on understanding the content and practising exam technique at the same time. This way, students develop both a stronger understanding of science, and know what to expect of their final exams. I incorporate regular quizzes/recap questions so that we are constantly revisiting key topics - this is a strategy called active recall which is proven to be one of the most effective ways of remembering content. I look forward to speaking with you :)
