Physiology Tutors : 1-1 Physiology Preparation

I am a final year medical student at the University of Exeter whose academic, educational, and leadership work centres on health equity, dermatology education, and structural reform within medical curricula. I am the founder of Skin For All, an evidence-informed digital education platform designed to improve the representation of diverse skin tones in dermatology teaching. The platform now features over 30 dermatological conditions and has reached more than 10,000 page views and 4,000 unique users internationally.

I am an award-recognised educator with over four years of teaching and mentoring experience across school, college, and undergraduate medical education settings. My teaching spans English, Maths, and Science, alongside core medical topics including anatomy and physiology, the musculoskeletal, immune, and nervous systems, as well as clinical exam preparation. I have delivered highly commended teaching sessions, including an Anatomy and Physiology lecture at Exeter College, and have received a Gold Standard Teaching Award in recognition of effective, engaging, and student-centred teaching practice.

My teaching philosophy is grounded in accessibility, inclusivity, and clinical relevance. I place particular emphasis on supporting widening-participation and under-represented learners, using clear explanations, case-based learning, and confidence-building approaches. I have provided personalised mentoring through organisations such as First Class Learning, Coach Bright, and community-based programmes supporting refugee children in Exeter, and have mentored over 15 medical students in exam strategy, resource development, and navigating medical training.

Alongside direct teaching, I develop innovative educational resources to support student learning, including structured revision guides on cranial nerves, obstetric case-based scenarios, and anatomy frameworks, many of which are used by peers and mentees. I am also the co-host of the Very Junior Doctors podcast, where I support aspiring medics through applications, transitions, and early medical training, and the creator of the Future Dr newsletter, which aims to make medical opportunities and guidance more accessible.

My educational and advocacy work has included invited talks and teaching sessions at TEDxNHS, the British Medical Association (BMA) Student Conference, the University of Exeter Medical School, and multiple national medical education and anti-racism conferences. My work has been recognised internationally, including the 2024 American Medical Student Association (AMSA) Racial Justice in Medicine Award, making me the first British medical student to receive this honour. Additional recognition includes the Rising Star in Healthcare Award (WeAreTheCity, 2024), the BMBS Citizenship Award (2023), and shortlisting for the Exeter Students’ Guild Academic Experience Award (2025).

Through my work in teaching innovation, inclusive curriculum development, and student advocacy, I am committed to contributing to a more equitable, representative, and patient-centred medical education system in the UK and internationally.

My name is Kathryn and I am originally from Toronto, Canada. I completed my Bachelor’s degree in Life Sciences at Queen’s University in Canada and went on to complete my Master’s in Biomedical and Molecular Sciences also at Queen’s. My Master’s focused on cardiovascular research, which is a field that I will continue to pursue as an academic doctor as part of the Cambridge Academic Foundation Programme. Apart from medicine, I really enjoy the outdoors, cycling, and traveling. I also love trying new foods! As someone who didn’t have these supports growing up, I really want to give back and help other students navigate their way through medicine. After accomplishing my dream with the help of my mentors, I really think that mentorship is critical to this journey so I hope to be a source of academic support, encouragement, and most importantly, a friend.

Experienced medical educator dedicated to nurturing future healthcare professionals. I bring a passion for teaching, a deep understanding of medical concepts, and a commitment to fostering critical
thinking and clinical skills in my students. I am a experienced medical educator with a profound commitment to shaping the next generation of healthcare professionals. With a rich tapestry of experience spanning years in the field, I bring to the table a wealth of knowledge, a genuine passion for teaching, and an unwavering dedication to cultivating the minds that will define the future of medicine.My educational background is rooted in [MBBS FCPS MRCP], which laid the bedrock for my understanding of medical sciences. From there, I ventured into INTERNAL MEDICINE, where I honed my expertise and gained insights that I am eager to share with my students. Let’s embark on a journey of learning and growth together.

Hi my name is Zaryaab Shah and I am currently a 2nd year medical student at Brighton and Sussex Medical School. I have a plethora of experience helping Medicine applicants through GCSE, A-Level qualifications and entrance exams like the BMAT as well as for interviews. I believe my extensive experience tutoring Medicine applicants allows me to tailor my teaching for the student and I can help them in a more personalised way. Having scored well in the BMAT and getting top grades at GCSE and at A-Level, I believe I can use my experience and skills to help other students do the exact same. To me to gain an offer at a medical school involves possessing a good knowledge of the medicine application process. I believe that as well as being a great tutor I can offer students advice tailored to them and their applications.

Hello! My name is Shimza, I am a medic at the University of Glasgow. I am passionate about teaching and learning, and I hope to make you just as motivated! Before I applied to Medical School, I gained some tutoring experience at both a tutoring organisation, as well as volunteering for a volunteering tutoring organisation to offer educational support for pupils from disadvantaged backgrounds. I found this to be an extremely rewarding experience to see pupils grow in confidence, as well as seeing their progress in their studies. I have worked with a wide range of pupils of different age groups and abilities and I relish the opportunity to support other aspiring medics in their transition to medical school! In my free time, I enjoy doing various activities including volunteering, arts and crafts and badminton which has helped me to grow as a well-organised, supportive and creative individual. I hope to support students by tailoring teaching towards their specific needs, strengths and weaknesses, as well as gaining confidence. I have also further developed my interpersonal skills such as communication skills as well as leadership skills through being a student mentor for aspiring medics at my university. This has meant that I have been able to help support and offer application advice for school pupils, and I hope to bring the same forward here!

Hey! My name is Ellie and I’m currently a final year medical student at Griffith University in Gold Coast. I graduated Biomedical Science from QUT in 2019 with distinction specialising in Human Physiology, during which I did my first GAMSAT in Sep 2019 with a weighted score of 70 (s1: 60, s2: 63, s3: 78). I spent my gap year teaching pharmacology and physiology at QUT when Covid first hit Australia in 2020, in which I did my interview for my first preference – Griffith. After feeling overwhelmed in my first year of med school in 2021, I’ve now figured out what works for me and I can’t wait to help anyone in their journey to medicine.

I’ve always had a passion for teaching since middle school. I tutored Math, English, Physics, and Chemistry in high school; Anatomy, Physiology, and assignment editing/ writing in University; and Physiology and Pharmacology in my gap year before med school. Growing up in Taiwan before moving to Brisbane in grade 9 allows me to relate and help anyone whose English is their second language in assignment writing, grammar editing, and public speaking. I spent two months before the 2019 GAMSAT to revise the prerequisite Physics and Biology, while teaching myself Chemistry (as I didn’t do Chem in high school), as well as learning new vocabs and reading specific news articles to prepare for my least confident areas – section 1 and 2. Because of this experience, I was able to learn ways to master the important concepts, studying strategies, and answering approach for GAMSAT questions in a short period of time, allowing me to also study my uni subjects and maintain a personal life while taking GAMSAT.

Speaking of personal life, I recognise the potential impact med school application can have on anyone’s mental health. Apart from tutoring academic related topics, your mood/ motivation is also significantly important to me, and I’ll try my best to guide you through any of your worries/ concerns/ questions.
