Hi! I'm Sanskriti, a current medical student at the University of Bristol. Having just finished my third year of university, I am taking a year out to complete a Masters in Health, Law and Society (LLM).
Having done a lot of exams (including GCSEs, A-Levels and university admissions tests), I realise how stressful and unnerving they can be, so I want to help other people through it! Personally, a big challenge for me during school exams was how much extra there is to do. Students do many subjects at GCSE, and have to balance planning their next steps with A-Levels. Guiding them, and providing encouragement is important in my lessons, as it infinitely supplements students' learning.
In my lessons, I aim to work out what the students are struggling with, and help them to fully understand the content. My teaching style incorporates this - we go through content and work through it together. I like to make sure my students have really grasped the concepts, as they will need to apply their knowledge in exam questions. During my time at school, I found that once I felt I understood, doing practice questions really helped boost my own grades, so I hope to help others similarly. Mark schemes can be really tough to work with too, so understanding what a question is asking, and knowing what the mark schemes expect is a priority! I aim to be flexible and really engage students in their learning, and help them reach their full potential in a way that helps them most!
In my time at school, I often found that exam-style questions were the best form of revision for me. However, I also understand that this does not work for everyone - each student is different, and has different methods of working. My lessons are very student-led and I will constantly ask them if there is anything that they feel could work better for them. Parents' feedback is also invaluable for me - you know your child best. I have also had experience in working with students with learning differences, such as ADHD and dyslexia. I aim to make my lessons accessible for all!
I’ve also taken part in some tutoring schemes at school, such as helping year 7-11 whilst in 6th form and thoroughly enjoyed it, so I’m hoping to be able to continue that. Outside of academics, I enjoy baking and making scrapbooks. I have also been choreographer and president of the Bollywood Dance Society at my university in recent years!
