Dewnith Jayasingha Gap year student
No reviews yet

Hi! I’m Dewnith, a gap year student and recent college/sixth form graduate, pursuing a degree in medicine. Having studied at the Portsmouth Grammar school from the ages of 11 to 18, I am conscious of the academic pressures and challenges faced by many students.

When I first started PGS, I found the transition difficult. It took me a while to adjust to the increased workload, including how much more homework we were given! With time and a consistent approach to my priorities in and out of school, I grew both academically and personally. Having been a mentor and guide to many pupils during the latter half of my time at PGS, at clinics and in the classroom, I have grown to understand many of the difficulties faced by students.

This is where tutoring can make all the difference! One-on-one tutoring offers personalised attention, which I understand through experience that, at times, is difficult to get at school. As a tutor, I like to initially take a slow approach to identify areas of weakness, and then step things up when a strong foundation is created.

In my GCSE’s, which I completed in Year 11 in 2021, I achieved the following:

Mathematics - 9

Chemistry - 9

Biology - 9

Physics - 9

English Literature - 9

English language - 9

Latin - 9

Spanish - 9

History - 9

Geography - 9

In my A-levels, which I completed in year 13 in 2024, I have achieved the following:

Chemistry - A*

Biology - A

Mathematics - A

Having obtained excellent GCSE’s (in the top 0.0007% of the 2021 student cohort) and A-levels, I believe that I am well equipped with the necessary knowledge and experience. I will be more than happy to help you overcome academic challenges and discover the most efficient ways to go about fully grasping any topic.
