Personally Interviewed

Our tutors go through a rigorous selection process, having been interviewed to assess their teaching skills and subject knowledge. They have extensive tutoring experience with a track record of success, helping students achieve their academic goals.

Tutoring Experience

For more than four years I have specialised solely in UCAT preparation, working with GCSE, A-Level and graduate applicants. I have delivered over 500 hours of one-to-one tuition online, designed bespoke question banks, and run intensive bootcamps for widening-access programmes. My students typically improve their overall score by 300 + points and enter the competitive zone for interviews at UK medical schools. I also mentor candidates through personal-statement drafting and interview technique, ensuring a coherent application journey.

Tutoring Approach

Each session is data-driven: we analyse practice outcomes, isolate weak sub-tests and build timed drills that mirror the official exam interface. I emphasise cognitive shortcuts, keyboard navigation and stress-management so students gain both speed and certainty. Homework consists of adaptive question sets and mini-mocks whose analytics inform the next lesson, creating a continuous feedback loop toward the target score.
