About Leonardo

I am a friendly and approachable 1st year UCL medical student who believes that everybody should have the resources and knowledge they need to do their best. I've achieved seven 9s and two 8s in GCSE, and A*A*A in Maths, Chem and Bio respectively.

I am keen to commit myself to giving you all the support you need in order to achieve your fullest potential. In year 11, I was struggling very much with my exams, but thankfully my path was crossed with some amazing teachers who really contributed to getting my results to what they are now. Of course, there is more to success than a teacher - but this showed me the impact that good teaching can have on a student, and ever since I have always been eager to teach. I am able to sympathize with students of all academic positions, and am eager to tutor all by offering not only subject support for exams in the short-run, but also study and revision techniques they can take outside of lessons and apply to any subject in the long term for the rest of the careers.

I got a position as a GCSE assistant chemistry teacher at HCACP which refined my knowledge of the syllabus, and gave me the opportunity to practice explaining difficult concepts in chunks that are easy to understand. Attendance at multiple medical outreach events also exposed me to multiple different teaching methods, and I am eager to apply all of these to the lesson in order to make it engaging, or adapt and select a single learning style in order to match the learner’s preference. Mentoring 2 students for years has also taught me how to sympathise with a student’s situation, which in turn gives me greater insight and enables me to identify a student’s issue, which in turn helps me tailor lessons and homework more effectively to a student’s individual needs. I am constantly improving these skills as I tutor students, including a student applying for Cambridge Natural sciences.

Having performed many practice questions myself, and explored many different resources, this will enable me to craft homework myself and ensure that it is as relevant as possible to the learner’s particular exam and syllabus. If the student is willing, I can also provide mock tests myself to assess progress. Finally, I can update the parents on the student’s progress every lesson

If needed, I can not only provide full and comprehensive teaching within the curriculum, but also foster an extra-curricular interest in their desired career (something is so highly valued by competitive universities). I believe my own engagement in the research world and personal laboratory experience at Kings DevNeuro qualifies me for this.

I have already supported students with their personal statements, UCAT and BMAT. My admission exams and personal statement led me to getting an interview at all my medical universities, and I would be glad to offer training in these areas, where I share skills and resources that helped me do this, In addition, I provide full support for interviews - including worksheets, mock interviews and planning sessions where I teach interview technique that helped me get interviews at prestigious medical schools in London (Imperial, Kings and UCL). Whilst my background is mainly medical, I am also willing to provide support for other science-related subjects.

I love empowering students and seeing that my lessons enable them to succeed in areas that they were previously struggling. It is very satisfying to see commitment being paid off in this way, and I believe that right now tutoring is the best way in order to continue this passion of mine at university.

I look forward to tutoring you if you choose me, and thank you for reading!

Leonardo will show you and teach you many different techniques to improve your score in the UCAT. He can also help you in individual sections you are struggling in whish for me was Verbal Reasoning. The techniques he teaches can also be used in future medical studies too. If you are struggling he will make sure to go through the topics in your own pace maximising the score you can get.

I can say that, even if you find a subject unfamiliar and difficult to understand (like my case with Biology) you will still benefit a lot from Leo’s tutoring. Not only does he equip you to understand the content properly, but he also improves your logical reasoning and enriches your understanding of the content terminology. Another great thing about Leo is that he gives the correct amount of homework - it is not so little that you feel you haven’t even interacted with the topic, but it is not so much that you feel overloaded.The best star goes for Leo's ability to convey content in a unique way. His flexibility and artistic creativity to make you reach the stage and dive deeply into different topics, of course due to his high knowledge from his own A-Level studies.

Leo provides free content which was very helpful to my studies! Not to mention the study techniques which you can use for independent revision outside of the lessons. One of these examples is spaced repetition. This new method has really boosted my studies, and I surely intend to use it in my university studies. He also employs a range of different methods to explain content, so much so that it is impossible not to understand - rather, you are spoilt for choice. Moreover, in order to assure that I reach my goals, he took a very precise and systematic approach to give an exhaustive covering of all the topics.

All this without mentioning his energetic grit and collected character.
