Oxford Biology Graduate with 2 Masters in Evolution Offering University Admissions Coaching for Biology in London and/or Online

From 24.06 £ /h

I am a biology student currently applying for PhDs, and in the meantime interested in tutoring experience.I am looking to tutor students interested in applying for Biology or Zoology at university, especially in helping students through the Oxford admissions process (cover letter assistance and interview coaching).

After completing an undergraduate degree in Biological Sciences at the University of Oxford, I completed 2 Masters courses focusing on systematics, evolution and palaeontology at the Natural History Museums in London (course co-run by Imperial College) and Paris (course co-run by Sorbonne Université).
I completed my pre-university education in France through the french baccalaureate, and thus have particular experience in entering UK higher education from abroad (I am also bilingual/dual native in French and English).

As a passionate biology student I believe I have the tools necessary to help prospective students better express their potential throughout the admissions process.
As I am new to tutoring I have a keen interest in tailoring my tutoring to the student's needs and preferences, and preparing assiduously for sessions.

My university application coaching would involve:
- giving the student the tools to write an effective cover letter, and reviewing it with them in depth
- Helping students develop the right mindset and critical skills to tackle university interviews, and providing mock interviews
