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 4th year medical student at Imperial College, currently intercalating in cardiovascular sciences. My passion for teaching stems from my own journey through medicine, and I have dedicated myself to researching evidence-based techniques for effective learning and revision. This allows me to tailor sessions to the idiosyncratic needs of each student.
With over 100 hours of tutoring experience, I strive to aid all students from GCSE to university admissions. Looking specifically at medicine, I have run multiple seminars and 1:1 sessions on interview practice and mocks for medicine applications, using an original curriculum I developed alongside admissions staff.

I achieved a score of 42 points at IB, with all 7s in my higher subjects – Italian, chemistry and biology. At GCSE, I achieved 13 A*s.
I am intimately familiar with the medicine application processes of the universities I applied to: ICL, KCL, QM and UCL, receiving an offer from the former 3

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.

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

Hi there! My name is Jess Cullen, and I am a first class graduate in English Language and Literature from Balliol College, Oxford. Here, I was an exhibitionist and award winner at my college, while captaining the Blues football team. I loved my degree, and although I now work in the sports consulting space, tutoring English and supporting people in their love of the language is one of my greatest passions. In my spare time I love playing sport, guitar, and singing!

Before Oxford, I studied in Dubai and Australia. I sat A-levels, achieving an A*A*AA* in English, Spanish, Mathematics, and in my EPQ, in which I scored 100/100. Alongside this I have also sat the SAT, scoring a 1560, and took GCSEs gaining nearly all 9s (bar physics!). I applied to Oxford as an international student, so I know the ins and outs of the application system, and can support students applying for any subject by ensuring their personal statement reads well and ticks the necessary boxes.

I’m Akshar, one of the tutors here. I specialise in Maths and Science up to GCSE level, as well as A-Level Biology and Chemistry. With seven years of tutoring experience and a strong track record of student success, I am committed to helping learners excel.

I hold a First-Class BSc in Biomedical Sciences from King’s College London and a Master’s in Physician Associate Studies from St. George’s Medical University, which I completed with distinction. I will soon start work as a Physician Assoicate in the NHS.

My online lessons are designed to be interactive and engaging, using PowerPoint presentations with animations, exam questions, and a digital tablet for live annotations. Having tutored over 500 students privately, I tailor my approach to suit different learning styles, ensuring an effective and supportive experience.

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.
