About Gustavo

I’m currently a final-year medical student at a top London medical school, and for me, this is inextricably linked to teaching. As a medical student, I have committed to a career where teaching is paramount: doctors aim not just to treat disease, but to empower patients to take control of their health through information. Also, doctors aim to pass on their knowledge to the next generation: to more junior doctors and to students. This aspect of medicine has always inspired me. Moreover, an equally important ideal of medicine is lifelong learning, continually seeking to improve my practice through acquiring new knowledge and skills. Ultimately, these are fundamental reasons why I teach: because teaching itself is at the heart of medicine, and because through teaching, I learn. I am continually learning from my students about what works, what doesn’t work so well, how to adapt my teaching, and deepening my own understanding of the subject content. Furthermore, I am passionate about the subject content. One of the main reasons why I am in medicine is because I have been fascinated by science from a young age, seeking to understand how the natural world works. This is why in my tutoring, I always aim to emphasise understanding concepts, rather than simple recall, because I want students to really understand the science, and (hopefully!) to share in this excitement. Also, medicine is about applied science, so I aim to highlight the relevance and implications of scientific concepts. Finally, I fundamentally believe in the importance of giving back. I am proud to have achieved academic success – achieving nine 9s (A**) in GCSE, A*A*A at A-Level, and progressing through Medicine at a highly prestigious London medical school – and I am not satisfied with ‘storing away’ this for my own benefit. Instead, I am committed to helping and empowering others to also achieve success in their goals, whether these are good Chemistry GCSE grades or a successful medical school application. I am particularly passionate about helping young people from disadvantaged backgrounds, including through voluntary work with my medical school and local church. In summary, I teach because of medicine itself; learning; my passion for the subject content; and my commitment to helping others. Interested? Read on to find out more about my availability and rates, and I look forward to helping you achieve success :)

About the lesson

I offer bespoke tutoring for Chemistry at KS3, GCSE and A-Level (secondary / high school students). As a medical student, I am passionate about application of the basic sciences, and I strongly believe a deep understanding of topics and their relevance is critical to success in lessons, exams and beyond. Moreover, I have a very adaptable teaching style to suit the individual needs of students, accounting for different learning styles, and topics which may require different teaching approaches. A typical lesson prioritises interactivity throughout, with questions, quizzes, exam questions and other exercises to keep the student engaged and check understanding. Lessons typically last for one hour each. I offer an impeccable academic record and plentiful tutoring experience in the Sciences. This includes recent and relevant experience with the GCSE and A Level curriculum, university study, paid and voluntary tutoring and mentoring, detailed below: • final-year medical student, Barts and the London (best medical school in London | Source: The Guardian University Guide 2021) • A Levels: A*A*A (A* in Chemistry & Biology, A in Maths) • GCSE: 9 (A**) in Chemistry, Biology & Maths + six other GCSEs • Chemistry GCSE tutoring: 4 academic years (2021 -) • Chemistry A Level tutoring: 5 months (2023 -) • Biology GCSE tutoring: 3 academic years (2022 -) • Biology A Level tutoring: 3 academic year (2022 -) • SAMDA (Student Assisted Medical and Dental Applications) (voluntary) – helping aspiring medical students with interviews and UCAT (1 year) • PALS (Peer Assisted Learning Society) (voluntary) – tutoring a younger year medical student (2 years) Overall, my tutoring experience encompasses a range of contexts and several exam boards, including Edexcel, OCR, AQA, and Eduqas.

I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Gustavo in both an academic and personal sense for quite some time now.
Throughout his education, I’d describe him as an incredibly dedicated individual to his field of study. He’s intellectually curious, driving him to go beyond the limits of syllabuses and squeeze out extra marks in exams. Also, he’s an incredibly articulate individual, able to break down problems in multiple ways making him a effective communicator to a wide variety of audiences.
His drive and determination are contagious, with the revision and exam techniques he’s mastered having rubbed off on to me, which I’m hugely grateful for.
I’d thoroughly recommend Gustavo to anyone looking to develop their science knowledge as he’s willing to go the extra mile to make sure your understanding is concrete. I couldn’t think of anyone else better to suggest!
