Finn - medicine, University of oxford

Hi, I’m Finn! I’m currently reading Medicine at the University of Oxford. 

My approach to teaching is based on the idea of rolling targeted assessments, not only to inform lesson planning and target help exactly where it is needed most, but also allow my students to see just how much they are progressing from lesson to lesson to build that all-important confidence. 

For me it is really important to allow discussions in tutorials to extend naturally beyond the required syllabus and foster a genuine interest in the subject matter — in many ways this is the main advantage of 1-on-1 teaching over the classroom setting!

I’m comfortable teaching science to students of all ages, but especially Biology and Chemistry. Additionally, I’m keen to pass on my knowledge and experience with the UK medical school admissions process, including how to prepare for the UCAT, BMAT, and (the much-dreaded) interviews.
