My experience with St Johns has given me a lot of experience in planning sessions for up to 20 others on first aid and other medical topics. I learnt to cater to a wide range of individuals, of all ages and backgrounds, to provide the information and support they needed. I also plan sessions for younger medical students, typically a much smaller group. I feel that a good plan, informed by the needs and requests of the student, lays a solid foundation for tutoring. Aims and objectives should be agreed upon at the beginning and revisited at the end of the lesson. At GCSE and A Level, these objectives can be informed by exam boards. Typically, lessons would involve working through questions together and using these as a springboard to delve deeper into topics of interest or weaker areas. I am happy to adapt to any extra needs a student may have in sessions and welcome feedback as I go! I also try to provide constructive feedback. I know it can sometimes be a struggle to recognise your own strengths and focus on difficulties and weak areas, but I hope to instil confidence in my students as we go.
