About Me
My name is Elena and I am a final year medical student studying in Hungary! I am originally from Cyprus, a small island between Greece and Turkey. My hobbies include weightlifting, kickboxing and writing slam poetry. I am a big fan of how the human brain works and in fact, plan on specializing in Psychiatry after I graduate from my M.D. I enjoy spending time with people and staying up to date with current scientific articles in my areas of interest. In addition, I am a Taylor Swift fan as I enjoy her literary techniques used in her songs and her ability to relate to her audience.
How I Can Help
I believe it is essential to be able to give back to the younger students as I recall myself trying to navigate through the maze of resources as a young student whilst being intimidated by these exams. During high school and medical school, I have had the opportunity to tutor some of my peers in biology, English, human anatomy and biophysics. It was very satisfying seeing my peers realize their full potential and ace their exams, whilst having the satisfaction that I was able to help someone. I prioritize finding efficient and practical ways to learn, with diagrams and visual aids as I find that it aids students to better understand and conceptualise a topic.
