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.

Hi! I’m Yazan — an MPharm graduate from Newcastle University with a strong academic background and a passion for helping students reach their full potential in science and maths.

I studied the International Baccalaureate (IB), achieving a score of 37/42, including 6 in Biology HL, 6 in Chemistry HL, and 7 in Arabic HL. Before starting university, I completed a foundation year at INTO Newcastle University, where I scored 88% overall while studying biology, chemistry, maths, English, and computer skills. I graduated with a 2:1 in Pharmacy and now work as a foundation pharmacist, where I apply my scientific knowledge in real clinical settings every day.

I’ve previously tutored GCSE and A-Level students in biology, chemistry, and maths — and I’ve also received a Peer Tutoring Special Contribution Award for my commitment to student success. My teaching style is friendly, clear, and structured. I focus on breaking down complex topics, building confidence, and improving exam technique. I’m bilingual in English and Arabic, which helps me support students from diverse backgrounds more effectively.

Whether you’re preparing for exams, trying to boost your grades, or need extra support in challenging topics, I’ll tailor each session to meet your individual goals and learning style. Let’s work together to make learning less stressful — and even enjoyable!
