Physician Associate Tutors : 1-1 Physician Associate Preparation

Hello, I’m Talhah Bin-Islam—a highly driven biomedical science graduate preparing to begin Graduate Entry Medicine at the University of Nottingham. I am deeply passionate about education, academic excellence, and mentoring the next generation of achievers. I have extensive tutoring experience across a wide range of subjects, supporting students from 11+, KS2, KS3, GCSE, A-Level, and beyond. I also specialize in university preparation, including medical school applications at both undergraduate and graduate levels.

My approach is not just about delivering knowledge but building strategic thinking, resilience, and long-term success. I believe in creating high-impact results by tailoring learning to each student’s aspirations. With a strong foundation in medicine, education, and personal development, I bring energy, precision, and ambition to every session. I am committed to helping every student unlock their full potential and push beyond what they believe is possible.

My name is Hector, and I am a third-year medical student at Swansea University, where I secured a place on the highly competitive Graduate Entry Medicine (GEM) programme. I graduated from The University of Sydney with a Bachelor of Science and Bachelor of Advanced Studies (Medical Science), achieving a distinction average. I know first-hand how daunting the journey to medical school can be, from perfecting personal statements to conquering the GAMSAT and excelling in medical interviews.

I have extensive experience teaching and mentoring students, currently working as a Senior Teaching Assistant in Anatomy at Swansea University. In this role, I lead engaging sessions for undergraduates and postgraduates, helping them grasp complex concepts and build confidence. Beyond my university role, I have provided tailored academic support through a private tutoring company, specialising in essay proofreading and personal statement coaching.

As a Swansea University Graduate Entry Medicine interview panellist, I understand what interviewers are looking for, and I am eager to share this insight to help you succeed. I am driven to make the process of tutoring and helping students reach their goals as accessible and stress-free as possible, building their confidence along the way.

Hello, I’m Devina a medical student. If I was to describe myself in three words, they would be Resilient, intelligent and bubbly. I decided to be a tutor as I have a lot of valuable skills and top tips which I have learnt during the medicine application processes and I wish to share these with forthcoming students to help you be successful! As a student who was state schooled myself, I am extremely aware of the little help and knowledge given out to aspiring medical students and I am a big advocate for helping to overcome this disparity.
My aim is to educate and help you guys with the best tips and tricks I have learnt in the application process to help you be successful in all of your applications. As someone who received my offers and achieved top A-levels grades, sat the UCAT and BMAT, I believe I have lots of skills which can help you. Having taught many students before I have the advantage of knowing the main specific areas students struggle on, as well as learning the many ways students learn. This has allowed me to improve my own tutoring techniques to a higher more experienced level.
I am also a former medic mind tutee myself, so I am very familiar with the system and how to approach lesson and I have also been in the same position as you guys so I understand how daunting it can be. So, if you are looking for a friendly, motivated and experienced tutor then look no further!

Hi, I’m Imaan. I’m a fifth year medical student at the University of Plymouth, I know the interview process inside out and I know that it takes A LOT of determination. I have independently achieved all my medical school offers and thats why I know that although it seems impossible, there’s always a way to achieve your dreams and I’m here to help you find it! I have lots of experience coaching students and am easy to talk to. I have had to deal with the daunting experience of applying to medical school, independently, including; taking the UCAT exam twice! This has taught me everything there is to know about the test and I have developed many tips and tricks. I am also a foundation student and this pathway requires a lot of thought and planning, I’d be happy to answer any questions regarding any of the unconventional pathways to medicine. My motto is always being there to help, so if you have any questions, feel free to ask them!

My name is Silas and I am a newly qualified Resident Doctor following the completion of my Medical Degree at the University of Sheffield. I graduated with honours and received the Mark Gregory Baker as the top student in my year.

Prior to studying Medicine, I gained a First Class Degree in Political Science and International Relations at the University of Birmingham; my degree allowed me to apply to Undergraduate Medicine as a graduate.

As a Sheffield Medical student, I am the President of the Sheffield Emergency Medicine Society and am a member of medical societies such as Sheffield Friends of MSF and Wilderness Medicine. I am also a Community First Responder which involves responding to emergencies in the area with lifesaving equipment before the ambulance arrives. My specific areas of interest within Medicine are: Emergency Medicine, Wilderness Medicine, Pre-Hospital Medicine, Humanitarian Medicine, and Disaster Medicine.

In terms of the city of Sheffield, I was born and raised here therefore I feel that I can answer any questions that students have about the city, the lifestyle, and the surrounding area which I know is a point of emphasis from Sheffield during the interview process.

Overall, I am a patient and understanding tutor who can offer you my personal experience of the application process and as a current medical student and I feel that I can help you achieve your potential.

Hi my name is Nadia and I am a medical student at Brighton and Sussex Medical School (BSMS). I am currently intercalating at Imperial College London studying Surgical Design, Technology, and Innovation.

I have been a university student for the past seven years, so I understand how stressful and challenging exams can be. I aim to create an environment where you feel comfortable to learn and work towards your goals. My approach is to adapt the learning style to the student to optimize their understanding and performance.

In terms of my academic background, I have experience with studying A-levels (biology, chemistry and physics), an undergraduate degree and masters (Biomedical Science BSc (Hons) and MSc).

Outside of medicine, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends. I also volunteer within the community as a first aider with St John’s ambulance. Alongside medical school, I also work as a phlebotomist.

Whatever your aspirations, I look forward to working with you to help make them a reality!

Hi everyone! My name is Alina, I am a second year medical student at Keele University. I got 3 offers from Keele University, Cardiff University and Sunderland University. I really want to help aspiring medical students to get into university as I know that the journey is not an easy one. I will help you by teaching the interview knowledge and skills that got me 3 offers and into medical school. I will effectively communicate with you and will practice as many interview questions so you feel prepared, especially with questions you may have not heard before and least expect. Also, I hope that doing these interview mocks I will be able to spot your mistake and see what need to be improved, as I have made many mistakes on my interview which I hope you don’t make to. I really hope to help you achieve your place at your first-choice medical school with my help and using my strategies. Thank you
