I am a graduate medical student at King's College London with a Biological Sciences degree from the University of Oxford. I have a particular interest in cellular organisation, cancer, evolution of cancer, and the intrinsic pathway of cellular death.

            Biology   I tutor Edexcel and AQA biology A-Level, by topic. In such sessions I will cover each key point of the topic and expand on it to give a more comprehensive depth to the area to ensure understanding. These sessions are usually accompanied by problems that the student can work through under supervision with direct feedback.     Biology Admissions  Biology admissions sessions are a mix of personal statement feedback and interview preparation. In personal statement feedback both the content and structure of the student's statement are discussed and refined in order to best demonstrate the student knowledge and enthusiasm for the subject. In interview preparation a mock interview is conducted accompanied by feedback and guidance as to what to expect and what skills are needed to be demonstrated.

            Experience tutor with particular focus on interview preparation and technique. These sessions have received excellent feedback from previous students and parents. They are structured in to a mock interview section and a feedback section. In the mock interview section an interview in the Oxbridge style is conducted, this is to put the student at ease with the interview format. The feedback section explores the students answers and focuses on such areas such as where they could have expanded more on certain points.

            Alongside research work in the laboratory in my free time I enjoy waterpolo, trekking, and skiing. Being a biologist I have keen interest in all things outdoors.
