    Hello, I’m Talhah Bin-Islam—a highly driven biomedical science graduate preparing to begin Graduate Entry Medicine at the University of Nottingham. I am deeply passionate about education, academic excellence, and mentoring the next generation of achievers. I have extensive tutoring experience across a wide range of subjects, supporting students from 11+, KS2, KS3, GCSE, A-Level, and beyond. I also specialize in university preparation, including medical school applications at both undergraduate and graduate levels.

    My approach is not just about delivering knowledge but building strategic thinking, resilience, and long-term success. I believe in creating high-impact results by tailoring learning to each student’s aspirations. With a strong foundation in medicine, education, and personal development, I bring energy, precision, and ambition to every session. I am committed to helping every student unlock their full potential and push beyond what they believe is possible.

    I am a first year BA Criminology Student with a passion for hopefully entering the legal profession post university. I was a straight A student at GCSE and at A level, I achieved ABC after self teaching my A levels due to being out of school for months because of surgery. For this reason, I have been inspired to start tutoring to support students like myself who are struggling in school or have missed school due to personal circumstances.
    I believe that learning should be done in a fun, supportive and interactive environment. I have over 300 hours of tutoring experience in KS3 and GCSE level English, KS3 and GCSE Science and I have experience teaching the 13+ and 11+ curriculum also.

    I have tutored over 30 students with various SEN and neurodivergent needs, I have made the learning process individual and accessible to them.

    UCAT: Top 25% decileInterview: Offer from LiverpoolOffer from AstonA-level: A*A*AA* in EPQ (45/50)GCSE: Eight 9'stwo 8's and one 7

    Hi I’m Alina!. I’m a second year medical student at the University of Liverpool. I really enjoy meeting new people and helping them to achieve their goals so tutoring is a great fit!

    At A-level I studied Biology (A*), Chemistry (A) and English Literature (A*).

    At GCSE, the main subjects I studied were: Maths (8), English Literature (9), English Language (9), Biology (9), Physics (9) and Chemistry (8)

    The academic demands of applying to medicine are high, and as such, I had to develop a strong work ethic and revision/exam techniques, which I am more than happy to pass on in our sessions.

    I used tutors throughout secondary school, mainly for help with Biology, Chemistry and English. I found the help of my tutors invaluable; without it, I don’t think I would have achieved the same grades or even gotten into medical school!

    I also think that the interview preparation course that I attended was crucial to me receiving offers from Medical schools. This allowed me to face my fears by stimulating the interview environment so boosted my confidence for the real ones. I also think the feedback I received was so useful to reflect on and analyse in order to improve my performance. I therefore would really like to help others in the same position!

      Graduate

      Hello, I am Anna and I graduated from the University of Oxford in 2024 with an Integrated Master’s in Biology (MBiol). I achieved a 2.1 degree overall and a first in my master’s project. In my master’s project I studied the assembly of the chloroplast protein import complex through a variety of different lab techniques. This project was part of a larger body of work which aims to elucidate the production of chloroplasts within plants and provide new potential methods for sustainable agriculture and increasing food production.

      I have previously tutored from 11+ to A-level Biology as well as providing Oxbridge interview practise and advice to prospective students. At university, I mainly did modules in cell, evolutionary, and developmental biology but I also had an interest in sustainability and policy. This makes me well equipped to teach across the whole range of biology topics required for exams.

      I have great communication skills which I have gained through carrying out many scientific presentations over the time of my degree. I have also harnessed these skills through managerial jobs which I undertook during my time at university such as College Bar and Shop manager.

      Overall, my range of experiences has equipped me well to adapt my teaching style to a range of different students and different needs, allowing me to provide the best tutoring experience possible.

      Hi, I’m Meera , a second-year medical student at the University of Manchester, where I’ve not only excelled academically but also gained extensive experience supporting fellow students. With a 2940 score on the UCAT, I was successful in securing offers from all four of my medical school applications, and I’ve since helped coach others to do the same—whether it’s interview preparation, personal statement guidance, or overall strategy. I achieved top grades with three A’s in Biology, Chemistry, and Maths at A-level, and I’ve tutored students from 11+ to A-level in a variety of subjects. Alongside my focus on science and medicine, I have a deep passion for humanities, having studied History and Geography, and I hold a Grade 8 in LAMDA, which has sharpened my public speaking, drama, and English skills. My experience extends beyond the classroom—I’ve volunteered on a pediatric ward, where I gained invaluable experience working with children. I’m passionate about helping students of all ages unlock their potential, whether in science, humanities, or communication skills, and I’m eager to support you in achieving your academic goals.

          Frequently Asked Questions

          If you can’t find the answer you’re looking for in the FAQs, feel free to contact us!

          What are the Common Entrance Exams?

          Common Entrance is a series of exams often taken by students in Year 6 (age 11) or Year 8 (age 13) in order to obtain admission to selective grammar or independent schools.

          How do I register my child for the Common Entrance?

          For pupils applying to grammar schools, the 11-plus exam is normally free. All private schools require you to fill out a registration form and may charge you a non-refundable registration fee (between £100 and £300). Once you accept the position, they may want a deposit, which will be repaid at the end of your child's first term.

          Registration can begin up to 18 months before your child is scheduled to take the examinations, so it's important to apply early to ensure that registration spots are available.

          How often should you tutor a child?

          We recommend scheduling at least two tutoring sessions per week, with each session lasting between one to two hours, to ensure your child receives the support they need. Our experienced common entrance exams tutors can function as teachers and can work with your child to teach their curriculum and reinforce learning.

          💻Where do the sessions take place?

          You will be able to access all the material, including the live lessons, from the comfort of your own home as the lessons are held virtually.

          💰Do I have to pay for all of the lessons upfront?

          We strive to make our courses as accessible as possible. During your FREE one-off consultation with our experienced common entrance exam tutors, you can discuss individual payment plans with our team.
