A Bit About Me
Hi there! My name is Emily, and I currently live in Brighton, UK, whilst I finish my Master's course. I have been tutoring for the last three years, during my undergraduate studies, and have absolutely loved watching my students grow, gain confidence, and confidently enter deep discussions about STEM concepts.
I have tutored for KS2, KS3, GCSE and A Level in STEM, with my students achieving their target grades during state examinations. I also love tutoring for the Extended Project Qualification, which is a chance for students to immerse themselves in researching a topic of their choosing.
My degree in Medical Neuroscience has given me a strong foundational knowledge of cognitive development throughout childhood into adulthood, and I have loved incorporating my neuroscience knowledge into my tutoring methods.
Outside of my studies and tutoring, I love dancing, singing and playing the piano. My most recent hobby I have started is learning British Sign Language, which is great to keep the brain engaged, work on motor skills and for communicating with more people!
