Biochemistry Tutors : 1-1 Biochemistry Preparation

Hi ! My name is Ella and i’m currently a 4th year vet student at The Royal Veterinary College, London. I previously studied the gateway to Veterinary medicine course at RVC so have had an extra year of learning and experience at the university. Although I can understand and have been through the stress and anxiety of applying to vet school, I want to help and allow you to turn that around and really enjoy and get the most out of your interviews and application the same way I did! I also used medic mind to be able to achieve where I am today and since then have helped others with their vet application so know all the tips and tricks to help you get into the university you want. In relevance to the veterinary medicine application process, I have worked very hard and even now have a published book on how to get into veterinary medicine! With my experience I want to give everyone who wants and deserves it the opportunity to study veterinary medicine.

Hi! My name is Joseph and I studied biological Natural Sciences at the University of Cambridge and am currently a qualified secondary school science teacher. I specialised in Pathology, but have taken physiology, neurobiology and chemistry at degree level too. I understand how exhausting the Oxbridge application process can be, and how challenging it is to balance this with preparation for exams too. I want to assure you that your success is my priority and I am happy to help in any way that I can. Whether you need help with your personal statement, admissions exams, interviews or with your end of year exams I am determined to help you succeed. I hope that I can help you be excited about applying to University too – researching universities and writing applications feels daunting but as someone who is having a great time at university currently, I know that the end result is worth it. I do a lot of theatre at university which requires a lot of time management skills to balance alongside a demanding degree, but I do this because I understand the importance of finding joy outside of academic work. In my lessons I will help you succeed but I will encourage this in a healthy and productive way.

Hi I am Aanchal! Im a 3rd year medical student at the university of buckingham. I love teaching and tutoring and helping others gain knowledge for many reasons, most importantly the rewards of my students passing is like no other. I have tutored before and have been successful at it and as a tutor I am very flexible and friendly and am able to meet your needs to avoid disappointment. I was born raised in England but am interested in health in other countries as well. I have quite a bit of experience in the medical field and would love to share this knowledge as everyone should benefit. In the future i hope to become a plastic surgeon and am currently working towards my goals. Please do contact me if you have any questions and i will try and respond within a few hours and thats a guarantee 🙂

When I was doing my A-levels I originally saw myself as doing Law. I chose my A-levels in Biology, Chemistry and History. I got into Law school at Swansea University until 2 weeks in I had a change of heart!

Instead I did a BSc in Medical Genetics at Swansea University and received (68.81% average). What did I learn? I learnt that using a combination of different learning techniques, was the best for not only knowledge retention but applying my understanding to more difficult topics such as embryology or complex organic chemistry. For example, in embryology I used videos or my friends to get an overview and get a real understanding of the topic, then using lectures/textbooks to hone in on the factual content and then answering questions which helped me identify key issues and common misunderstandings. Using other resources like posters or flashcards were helpful to improve knowledge.

Shortly after gradating from Swansea University with honours, I joined the Wellcome Sanger Institute, as a research scientist in SARS-CoV-2 sequencing. I began to love science again, because my field of research in microbiology helped the work against SARS-CoV-2. Currently, I am involved in the Respiratory Virus and Microbiome initiative (RVI) for further pandemic preparedness. Having experienced the pleasure of immediate benefit of my work, I saw medicine providing similar reward for my endeavours and took the UCAT and GAMSAT. I was quite upset that my first attempt was not good as I hoped but that did not put me off and I re-sat those exams with a better understanding of how to revise efficiently. I developed some techniques in order to stick to a regimented schedule, doing a bit everyday, under the values of ICT (Intensity, Consistency, Timing).

More important than anything was to immerse myself into hobbies outside of education I rediscovered my passion for gym, hiking and rugby, attempting how to boulder but not quite got the hang of it 🙂 Did make it difficult revising when you were sore the next day. During my application for medicine, I embarked on an MSc in Genomic Medicine at Kings and St George’s to keep the “grey cells running” and awaiting a predicted 1st! The icing on the cake was having the opportunity to stay at the Wellcome Sanger Institute in order complete my MSc dissertation on the RVI project with them. For my medicine interview prep I actually got tutored from medic mind and found the tutoring and resources from medic mind was a game changer and allowed me translate soft skills I learnt during my prep to my role in research.

I have been granted an honorary position at the Wellcome Sanger Institute where I have the opportunity to contribute to research and the literature. My particular areas of expertise include Biology, Chemistry and research methodology.

Teaching Style

I believe in an engaging, student-centered approach that fosters curiosity and confidence. My goal is to make complex concepts accessible and relatable, whether you’re preparing for exams, improving foundational knowledge, or exploring medical topics at a deeper level.

I am actively involved in various initiatives to raise awareness about Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic issues as well as presenting to the British Medical Association (BMA) Student Conference in 2023, the University of Exeter and platforms like Future Frontline on decolonising healthcare. I spoke on a panel at the Exeter Respect Festival launch where I delved into the racial inequities seen in medical education and the impact this has had on perspectives within the NHS and medical school. As well as national/local speaker events, I have spoken at TEDxNHS, for which I recieved editors pick (and is yet to be published) where I inspired over 400 audience members about my experience with representation and advocacy in medical education.

I has also hosted multiple presentations to students, academics and the public on the issues present in medical education regarding under- representation of skin tones and dangerous generalisations found in medical literature. This has included the Public Involvement in Medical Education group, Devon and Exeter Medical Society, the Let’s Talk about Series with St Lukes, Brighton and Sussex Medical School Anti-racism conference, Posters In Parliament and have even represented Medical student dedicated to making a change on the BBC, LBC, The Doctor by the BMA and at the London University of Osteopathy. My impact on the local and wider community has grown throughout the year and have continued to develop as more groups and individuals interact with me and my work. My written work can be seen with the creation of the Times Higher Education article co-written with professor, Dr Maisha Reza on decolonising the medical curriculum, as well as the Decolonise Healthcare conference in Exeter last June.

My commitment to creating a more equitable and accessible healthcare system has also been witnessed with the creation of Skin For All, an online educational platform that represents the most commonly seen skin conditions on various skin tones. The platform has collected a respectable audience while capturing the attention of the local Exeter audience and the wider national/international community. Diversity is at the heart of this website with the use of inclusive language, questions to help the public and detailed disease profiles to contribute to medical students’ learning. The platform has received high praise with many students having said Skin For All is a “Fantastic website aimed at a really important topic” and “on the same level as the award winning Mind The Gap”; as well as members of the public stating it is “very well-rounded and comprehensive, especially with the usage of non-medical language”. I have also written my first self-published 200 page e-book, Skin For All, which I have researched and designed solely to raise awareness about representation in medical education as well as influence otmys to carry out similar activities.

I am committed to helping my peers experience an inclusive, representative learning environment; now seen with the introduction of the Future Dr Newsletter which aims to make Medical opportunities more accessible to students. I want to leave a lasting impact on my community, not only within the Exeter region, but within the medical community internationally. My work has already been recognised, with my recent nomination as finalist for the Bright Network Impact Awards, and Exeter Guild awards as well as being made winner of the 2023 BMBS Citizenship, Rising Star in Healthcare Award by wearethecity and the 2024 Racial Justice in Medicine prize awarded by the American Medical Students Association; making her the first British medical student to have received this award.
