Thivane

Hi, my name is Thivane and I’m a third year dental student at the University of Birmingham. Teaching is one of my passions and one of the ways I’ve done this is by tutoring for several years. I’ve had the pleasure of teaching a wide range of students ranging from KS1 to A-levels which has definitely maximised my flexibly, patience with students over the years.

Friendliness is the key to my successful tutoring background as I take the time to chat to my students for a few minutes at the start of the lessons to make sure we build a rapport. I find this approach makes my words of praise, encouragement, motivation and discipline have a much stronger effect on my students’ performances. To enhance this impact I also tailor my lessons to suit their learning styles e.g. by including audio and visual cues. Examples of my success stories include helping many students get into their dream schools including prestigious ones like Wycombe Abbey and Brighton College as well as helping students improve scores for GCSEs, A-levels and UCAT.

Asides from tutoring, I enjoy travelling, running, writing and organising events as well as spending time with my friends and family. I can’t wait to teach my students and get to know them!
