About Ciara

I provide comprehensive, exam-focused, lessons with customised study aids and topic notes. Outside classes, I am happy to correct relevant material free of charge.

My website will provide you with more information: (concealed information)

***********************************
My Approach

My teaching approach involves discussion and imagery. Discussions are led by questions designed from the curriculum which allow me to gauge the students’ level of understanding. I build on this understanding using animated slide shows. Conversations (i.e. discussions) and images are easy for the student to recall in an exam situation. I avoid reams of text. My teaching style is therefore different, and an effective complement to, traditional teaching approaches. Every lesson, I dedicate time to exam preparation. This typically involves answering exam-style questions and honing the exam technique. My classes are flexible, non-formal (conversational) and student-led. The teaching materials are sent to the student and function as a study aid. These materials are customised to best suit the pace and abilities of student.

*************************************

My Background

In 2011, I received a B.Sc. in Chemistry from the National University of Ireland (NUI), Galway. I ranked top of the class, and won gold medals, in my organic chemistry and research modules. In 2016, I earned a PhD in Chemistry from NUI Galway. Subsequently, I worked as a researcher in NUI Galway and the University of Leeds.

**************************************

Teaching Experience

I have 7.5 years of teaching experience involving both one-on-one and group formats. I have delivered customised lessons, tutorials and lectures, mentored research projects and directed University laboratory practicals. I have completed a "Teaching and Learning" and several communication-based courses as part of my PhD.

very helpful and much easier to understand compared to the lecturer. Went over everything that was needed and constantly checked up on me to see if I was able to follow.

Ciara tutored me in chemistry and biochemistry topics in my final year of BSc and during my MSc. Ciara has a deep understanding and strong grasp of science. She has the rare natural ability to explain theories in simple terms because of this. She is very approachable, patient and friendly so I never hesitated to approach her to ask questions or to re-explain something.

Myself and Ciara taught first year, University level chemistry labs in 2016/2017. This involved giving 15min pre-lab talks to the students then supervising them in the lab. Ciara gave the talks for the first semester and I gave them for the second semester.
