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. 🙂

Hi, my name is Joanna, and I am currently a General Practice Trainee with a strong passion for teaching, mentoring, and supporting aspiring medical students. I am also a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA), reflecting my commitment to high-quality teaching and creating effective, student-centred learning environments.

The road to medicine can be long and challenging, but you don’t have to navigate it alone. Having gone through the journey myself, I aim to pass on the knowledge, strategies, and experience I have gained over the years. My goal is not only to help you succeed in the medical school application process, but also to help you develop the resilience, confidence, and long-term skills that will support you throughout medical school and beyond.

I teach UCAT, helping students develop effective approaches to each section of the exam, improve their timing and accuracy, and build the stamina needed to perform confidently under pressure. Rather than relying solely on shortcuts, I focus on helping students understand how they think, identify areas for improvement, and develop strategies that work for them.

Beyond medicine, I have a passion for languages and take great pride in being able to communicate in several languages. I also teach IELTS and have helped many students achieve scores higher than they initially aspired to.

My experience as an FHEA has further strengthened my approach to education, allowing me to apply evidence-based teaching methods and adapt sessions to different learning styles. I aim to make learning engaging, structured, and personalised, while encouraging students to become confident and independent learners.

I hope you’re ready to embark on this journey together. Come to each session eager to learn, and leave feeling more confident, motivated, and inspired to keep improving 🙂

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.
