I graduated with a First in BSc Medical Sciences Firstly, we will work out the student's weak topics using a past paper. Then, we will focus on those topics. I am good at explaining concepts in an easy-to-understand way. I use homework videos and questions to reinforce the student's knowledge. I also use end of topic tests and past papers. We will set time-specific goals, so the student has already achieved their target grade by the time their exam comes around. I know exactly what the examiners are looking for in your answers, so I will coach you on how to gain all the marks for each type of question. By the time we have spent a few months together, your understanding will have improved greatly.

Hi, I'm Phila-Mae Arcenal, a TEFL-certified teacher with nearly six years of experience, including three years of online teaching. One of my most rewarding experiences has been tutoring a Korean student since she was seven—now at 13, we cover English and other school subjects. Teaching is my passion, and I love creating engaging lessons that help students grow and succeed. Each interaction is a chance to learn and make a positive impact on my students’ education. I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science, graduating with Latin honors in 2017. Building on this foundation, I pursued and completed my Juris Doctor degree in 2022. This academic journey from political science to law reflects my commitment to understanding and advocating within legal and societal frameworks. My background in political science has provided a deep awareness of governance and societal structures, while my legal education has equipped me with the skills to navigate, analyze, and influence these frameworks. This blend of disciplines not only strengthens my expertise but also fuels my dedication to making a meaningful impact in the legal field.

I am currently studying dentistry and am in my 3rd year of university. For my secondary school I attended a selective grammar school where I took my GCSEs. I was able to earn 11 GCSEs with grades ranging from A*- B in all subjects. I then went on to sixth form where I took English Lang/Lit, Chemistry, Biology and Maths for A Level. I managed to achieve grades A*-B in these subjects too.
