According to the law of conservation of matter, the matter is never created or destroyed. Yet in a food pyramid, the amount of biomass decreases as we move up through the pyramid, from producers to top-level consumers. Why?

Medical student at UCL with past teaching experience

Hi! I’m a first year medical student at UCL. I am especially passionate about helping people from state school backgrounds with their medical applications, so I am offering tuition in Biology, Chemistry, Maths and help with applications and interviews. I believe in teaching as a discussion between peers, rather than me just talking at a student. I find that many difficulties are down to overcomplicated explanations or a few simple misconceptions, so when I teach I ensure I gain an accurate understanding of students’ past teaching, concerns and questions. When in school, I tutored girls in the years below hoping to get top grades in their Maths GCSE, and ran classes for high-achieving students in English Language and Literature. Currently, I teach regularly with StreetDoctors, a charity which teaches about the medical and social consequences of youth violence and emergency first-aid to young people aged 11-25. In my spare time, I play netball (badly!) for the medical school and I’m in the wilderness medicine and SCUBA societies.

Supportive qualified primary teacher

I gained my PGCE from the University of Nottingham and am currently supply teaching across various schools. Teaching in different schools and age ranges provides me with an in-depth knowledge of the National Curriculum requirements of all subjects at all primary age levels, whilst I am able to adapt on a daily basis. I cater for different learning styles through a mixed learning approach as I use various methods to help all learners – this includes the use of visual resources and learning through a hands-on approach. My lessons include varied activities, promoting creativity, and I ensure that high expectations are set and pupils’ learning is stretched accordingly to achieve these expectations. I am caring, supportive and positive. My enthusiasm for education transfers well during teaching, allowing children to develop a thirst for learning. I understand that each child is unique and all require a secure, caring and stimulating atmosphere, and I can help children to meet their potential through an environment that is safe, supports risk-taking, and invites a sharing of ideas.

Undergraduate at the University of Cambridge, with lots of tutoring experience

I am currently studying Natural Sciences at the University of Cambridge and have been tutoring locally for a couple of years- covering a range of GCSE's and A levels. I like to find ways to explain difficult concepts and then show students that they are able to apply them, increasing their passion for learning and boosting their confidence, which are the two most important parts of education for me.

Medical Doctor (MBBS), Biomedical Science (1st class honours), Pharmacy assistant (NPA qualification), previous tutoring experience (The Study Spot, Deen Tutors, private one-to one-tutoring), previous medical school interviewer, A levels (Maths, Biology, Chemistry), AS level (Electronics), GCSEs (11 total with mostly A* and A’s). Overall, my strong suits are in the STEM field, Maths, English and Science. I would be happy to help with medical school content (OSCE practice, medicine, surgery, specialties, prescribing exam), but I am also happy to take on suggestions and be flexible with what is taught. I am also happy to help those preparing to apply to medical school (interviews, personal statements, transfer programme at St Georges Medical School, applying as a graduate) or to the NHS foundation program (SJT). Really enjoy teaching! If I didn’t take the medical route I probably would have become a teacher. Currently charging £25/ph for lessons, but won’t be like this for long!
