About Shimin

Since 2016, I have been tutoring students and the results have always been beyond expectations. I have helped students exceed their target grades from A to A* and I have also helped students who were at the risk of retaking their GCSE maths multiple times. This is because I tailor my approach to tutoring and teaching depending on what the tutee themselves need.

I am also very flexible, so if there is a specific way you like to learn, please do let me know and I will attempt to incorporate into our sessions.

If you have any other questions, please drop me a message!

About the lesson

Hi there, my name is Shimin and I am currently a third year graduate entry Medicine student. Previously, I completed an MSci in Chemistry with Pharmacology with a 2:1. I have been tutoring students since 2016, mostly in Maths and Sciences and sometimes in English, ranging from key stage 2 to sixth form.

When tutoring someone new, I like to start off by testing the level that they are currently working at, usually using a past paper. Using that and after a conversation with the student, I like to devise a long term plan for the student: the topics they need help with, what they are good at and how they like to learn.
Following from that, I mostly like to follow a "see one, do one and teach one" strategy with my teaching, especially when it comes to maths. I will show how to solve a maths problem; we will then do one together; the student will then do one by themselves and lastly, the student will teach me how to do it. This is because research shows that teaching someone is one of the best ways to learn and helps us retain up to 90% of the information. When it comes to Sciences and English, I will follow a similar plan but I will go over the topic and teach them first before going through any questions. However, my teaching style is very flexible and I can tweak it, depending on what the student needs.

As I have studied (and am still studying) university level Chemistry and Biology and have tutored multiple students, I have experience with and am confident with most exam boards. With Maths and Physics, I have mostly taught Edexcel and AQA but I am a quick learner. I can research the exam board and the specification to find the best strategy to teach that specification. I have also completed GAMSAT for graduate entry medicine, so if you need help with this entrance exam, let me know!

I am also a mentor with Causeway Education where I help year 13 students with their UCAS applications. So if you need help with your university application or personal statement, send me a message!
