Chess Сoach : 1-1 Chess Lessons

Hi. My name is Reza I am currently a third-year medical student at the University of Glasgow. I remember how daunting and struggling it was the first time I was beginning to apply for medical school. From A-levels, Interviews, UCAT and personal statements there were a lot of things I had no idea about. This sense of feeling ‘lost’ is the primary reason I took on this role at medic mind. I genuinely want to teach and more importantly, fix aspiring students’ mistakes. I don’t want them to make the same ones I made and learned from during my time applying to university. Through my experiences, I want to guide young people to help get into medical school. I also was a former medic mind tutee myself so I am familiar with the system and how to approach students. In my free time, I enjoy playing basketball and cycling. Recently though, I have picked up the hobby of cooking.

I am a dedicated and results-driven tutor with a strong academic background in Psychology. With over three years of experience in education, including working with students with special needs, and one year experience as mental health support worker, I am passionate about fostering an inclusive and supportive learning environment. My expertise spans various subjects, including Mathematics, English, Psychology, Environmental and Physical Sciences, Creative Writing, and Admissions Test Preparation.

My approach to tutoring is student-centered, focusing on personalized learning strategies that enhance comprehension, critical thinking, and academic excellence. I leverage my problem-solving and organizational skills to create structured lesson plans while adapting to diverse learning styles. My strong communication and active listening skills allow me to build rapport with students, boosting their confidence and motivation.

Beyond academics, I hold multiple certifications in digital skills, first aid, and child protection, ensuring a holistic and safe learning experience. I also have keen interest in sports and exercise; when I am not working, you can catch me playing games like chess, volleyball or in the kitchen baking. Additionally, my proficiency in Microsoft Office and administrative experience supports effective lesson planning and resource management.
I am excited about the opportunity to contribute to students’ success and make a meaningful impact in their academic journey.

Hi there, I’m Zain and I am a second year dental student at the University of Manchester. I have been tutoring for three years now and I am most proud of my proven track record of success in the achievements of my students. I was a top 1% scorer in the UCAT exam – in which I achieved a score of 3230. This, along with my interview score allowed me to achieve my first choice university to study dentistry. I also received offers from KCL and Sheffield for dentistry, however my first choice was Manchester. I also applied to the University of Bristol for Medicine and attained an offer. When I’m not studying or working, I love to play 5-a-side football, usually followed by some form of takeaway! I also am keen on playing golf and taking cars to the track. I love getting to know new students and use their past experiences to aid my teaching by giving examples that they can relate to. I am usually flexible on timings and will try my best to accommodate students wherever possible.

As a dedicated and experienced tutor, qualified to a Masters level and over 20 years of teaching experience at UK universities, As an experienced tutor, I am committed to delivering high-quality, student-centered instruction that promotes academic success and personal growth. I specialize in creating customized learning plans that address individual needs, ensuring that students not only grasp core concepts but also develop confidence in their abilities. With a strong background in curriculum development and an inclusive teaching approach, I work to engage and motivate students of all levels. My goal is to foster critical thinking, improve subject comprehension, and help learners gain confidence in their learning and achieve their full potential through dynamic and interactive sessions that encourage a love for learning.

I’m Arif. I began my academic life in an IB school, taking IB Biology, Chemistry and Maths at a higher level and followed my interest in both biology and chemistry with a BSc in Biochemistry.

I then completed my MSc in Bioinformatics, as I had a growing interest in the Human microbiome and its implications in disease and disorders. My research was focused on the role of oral microbiota in infective endocarditis through systems biology approaches. My interests lie in bioinformatics and predictive disease modelling, with a focus on the human microbiome as a potential biomarker.

I’m now pursuing a medical degree at the University of Warwick, and am eager to integrate computational systems biology-based disease modeling with practical diagnostic and clinical care.

Outside, you might spot me on Brick Lane, St. James Park, or St. Paul’s, playing chess with the local chess hustlers

Hello,

My name is Edward (Teddy) Pilgrim. I achieved a 2:1 MChem from the University of Edinburgh in 2020. I have worked for the past 4 years as a lab technician and a brewer at multiple craft breweries (Beavertown, Brewdog etc). I am currently studying in a course with Data Camp to try and learn SQL, R, and Python to try and diversify my skills and potentially gain employment in the data sector.Therefore, I also have a strong mathematical ability. But my core strength is my ability to communicate and teach. My dad is a teacher and I learnt from him how to explain problems and how to be patient with students.

I think my real life experience of work sets me aside from other tutors as I not have the experience to educate someone in academic matters, but I can also shed light on the nature of the job market. What my experience has been like in terms of working a production job with scientific elements and what I have been through to get to my decision of retraining myself.
