Samuel - Cambridge
BA in Natural Sciences - University of Cambridge
I graduated from the University of Cambridge in 2021 with a First Class degree in Natural Sciences (BA). I specialised in my final year with the Department of Genetics and placed 5th in my cohort. Recently, I received a Cambridge Masters & King's College Studentship, which will fund my Masters in Malaria research at the Cambridge Institute for Medical Research (CIMR) next year.
I graduated from Reading School in 2017 with 11 A*s at GCSE and 5 A*-A at A-Level. After this, I took a gap year where I worked for 5 months in a ski resort and spent 4 months solo travelling throughout South America.
I have been tutoring for the past 6 years, supporting students from primary right up to their final year of secondary school. Furthermore, I’ve worked extensively on summer camps, charity youth projects and in family-centred hospitality. Outside of my degree, I am passionate about music, having achieved grade 8 in piano and trombone, as well as prizes for choral singing. I have also competed for the University of Cambridge in cross-country running events.
I love helping students understand new concepts and gain a greater interest in the subject. Particularly in Maths and Science, I have found that patiently and enthusiastically tackling problems with a range of approaches leads to a deeper understanding. This allows the student to solve further questions with confidence in their knowledge, rather than through mundane rote learning. Having successfully experienced the Oxbridge admissions process, I am confident in preparing clients with applications, admissions tests and interviews.
