About Umair
I study medicine. I love medicine because it makes you think critically under pressure and helping to alleviate a patient's pain or suffering is incredibly rewarding. I enjoy teaching others as I find this to be a rewarding experience as well.

Initially it is important to gauge the level of knowledge that a student is currently at in the first lesson. To assess this, I ask the student to answer a few exam questions to see their exam technique and current proficiency in the subject in the first lesson. Following this, I agree a plan with the student on what areas to focus on for upcoming lessons based on how well they answered different questions. At the start of each lesson I implement a starter activity to get the student engaged and focused on the lesson and sometimes also to see how much they learnt from previous lessons. However, I always tailor each lesson to the needs of each individual student, and this is something that is very important to work on the areas that they need help with the most in a way they enjoy and engage with well. When I was doing my A levels and GCSEs, I found doing exam questions to be the most useful way of learning and preparing for exams. I incorporate these into lessons as much as possible because it encourages active recall and helps you become comfortable with exam technique. Doing exam questions in the lead up to exams and getting feedback on these can lead to you jumping multiple grades. On the other hand, focusing on covering content in sufficient depth and understanding is also key. The best way to learn and retain information is active recall and spaced repetition. These two techniques combined mean that you are constantly testing yourself and strengthening neural links which improve memory. I incorporate these when I am revising myself and also when I am teaching. I teach a new concept or a topic the student has been struggling to understand after the starter activity. To finish off the lesson, in order to apply the concepts they have learnt I ask the student to attempt a few exam questions after which I can also provide feedback on how they performed. I think the most important thing to encourage learning is to provide a good amount of positive feedback to the student to build their confidence alongside a few things they can improve on. Alongside this, directing them to resources which they can use to practice and consolidate what they have learnt in the lessons maximises their chance of success. My sessions are typically an hour long. I have a lot of knowledge on university applications and interviews. I have been an examiner for mock medicine interviews and offer feedback and guidance to prospective medical students on the best way of answering difficult questions under pressure. I have done teaching for my fellow medical students over the past few months on anatomy and physiology which can be quite difficult to learn through medical speciality societies. I have more than 600 hours of experience tutoring maths and the sciences at KS3, GCSE and A level.
