TRUE/FALSE: miRNAs are relatively short, on the order of 21-23 nucleotides, they only bind to mRNAs that are a perfect complementary match to the entire length of the miRNA?

Abdur Khan

Second year dental student, happy to help :)

Hi, my name is Abdur and I’m currently studying Dentistry at the University of Bristol. I’d describe myself as a kind and friendly person who loves to teach using evidence-based techniques. As a dental student, a lot of my time is spent learning but also teaching others as it reinforces the knowledge I’ve gained from lectures, seminars and clinical sessions. I’d describing my style of teaching as interactive and personal as everyone has their own way of grasping topics. What sets my teaching apart from others is that it integrates core topics and links the common themes which cements the information to a deeper level of understanding. This is something I’ve used in my own studies which has helped me to ranked in the top 10 for the end of Year 1 exams and over achieve over 70% in end of Year 2 exams. I have been tutoring and mentoring students since 2016. What I’ve learnt from this experience is that building confidence in students is one of the key components to boosting grades. I highlight strengths and weaknesses so we can reinforce the areas which require more attention. This is through evidence-based teaching called active recall. The purpose of this method is to stimulate the mind through questioning rather than passive learning. Passive learning is something many students are guilty of which often leads to average grades. Through active learning it highlights areas that requires more attention. Spaced repetition will help to prevent forgetting important information and enables long term storage of knowledge which is crucial for exams!

Mia Cameron

Dedicated tutor and undergraduate at University of Oxford

I have tutored children from 11 to 16 years old before, and my methods are based in knowing the syllabus through and through in order to get great results in their exams. For more holistic tutoring, I encourage my tutees to stretch their minds through external reading, as well as coaxing them into seeing problems in different ways.
