Biomedical Science Tutors : 1-1 Biomedical Science Preparation

Hi, my name is Arun and I am currently a 5th year medical student at Sheffield University. I had 4 interviews and received offers from all four. I am a well-experienced tutor having completed over 2000 hours of tutoring in a range of topics, from GCSEs and A-Levels to UCAT and interviews as well as university consultations

I was one of the few students to undertake the A-level exams in November 2020 after my exams were cancelled due to Coronavirus. I am dyslexic so I have weird and wonderful ways to remember critical information and I hope I can support prospective doctors (dyslexic or non) to achieve their dream of becoming a medical professional.

I was not labelled as your typical medical student by my school. I continued to persevere until I reached the goal that I set for myself, with the help of my family.

I hope we can work well together and achieve what you want, just like I did. 🙂

I am a final year medical student at Flinders University who is about to graduate soon. In addition, to studying medicine at Flinders I have also participated in extracurriculars such as university sports and medrevue, as stage manager. Medrevue which is a musical that is organized by medical students every year.

I moved to Australia 10 years ago and did not have much experience with their tertiary education system. However, my experiences with volunteering and private tutoring helped me build a network which later helped me gain useful advice when trying to seek admission into an undergraduate university course. I believe I would be of use to anyone who needs some mentoring while trying to navigate the tertiary education system in Australia.

The networks I was able to establish during the course of my undergraduate degree helped me a lot when trying to gain admission into medicine in Australia. I studied Bachelors of Biomedicine at University of Melbourne graduating with a First class Honors Average and a GPA of 6.8out of a maximum of 7. I was a subjective representative as well. Following my undergraduate degree a spent an year of honors research with the aged care group at the Royal Melbourne Hospital. As a result of my research I was able to publish articles in reputable journals.

I am currently studying medicine at Flinders where some members of the faculty have let me know that I have been scoring in the top 10 % of students. I am a anatomy/dissection tutor for junior medical students as well

I have recently graduated from biomedical science. This degree taught me many skills for example, how to communicate with my peers, students from other cohorts and academics. I particularly found this rewarding as I now know how to communicate with people on different levels like; when talking to students in younger years I converse with a mentor tone. This way I ease them into the course and identify challenges they may face.
Furthermore, these communication skills have allowed me to flourish in my medicine course as I can hold an open discussion with my peers and academics. This often leads to debates which allows us to explore topics and gain a wider understanding.
In my spare time, I look to read up on current affairs and cook which helps me to relax and wind down for the day. This is also an excellent method to destress yourself and develop resilience. I also like to look up scientific articles on the Nature Journal. It has made me up to date on the various scientific milestones. I found the article about breast screening particularly interesting because it is of use to me as it relates to what I want to do as a future oncologist.

Hi there, my name is Hammad. I’m a Final year medic at Hull York Medical School (HYMS). I came across this opportunity from Medic Mind to get into teaching, something very much needed as a surgeon or doctor in general.
Due to being a high performer throughout my science subjects from highschool right through to university, I have taught a lot of my peers informally during class or outside of it. I feel I have a rather unique teaching style, using analogies and getting students to explain what they’ve learned or know already back to me, essentially incorporating my learning style (The Feynman Technique) into how I teach. Its lead to quite a high satisfaction rate among my peers and even patients, with my peers coming back whenever they don’t understand topics, recommending me to friends and even some recommendations by peers to go into formal teaching in the future, so I thought, why not put it to good use and get into tutoring.
So if my teaching style or even just my profile interest you, then drop me a message and I’ll be happy to help 🙂

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 there! my name’s Paolo and I’m currently a 4th year medical student at the University of Newcastle, Australia.

I’ve also got two previous university degrees, with a Bachelor of Science in Immunobiology from the University of Sydney, and a Masters in Communication from Griffith University.

Before starting medicine, I also worked in medical administration and marketing communications for 6 years.

In my spare time, I’ve taught clinical skills to junior medical students and I’m also an avid photographer and hiker and I dabble in video editing and music production.

I’m also proud to say that I’m a mature-aged student and I’m from a rural background as well, spending all of primary school and some of high school in regional Victoria.

My journey up to this point has taught me the importance of not just having a strong knowledge base in the arts and sciences to pass exams like GAMSAT but also how to use skills in those fields as well as knowledge of your interests and life experiences to give a polished but natural performance in your interviews.

I also have a current paid working with children check and an Australian National Police check available on request.

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.
