Conducting Lessons : 1-1 Conducting Preparation

Hi! My Name is Rocco and I’m a Medical Student at the University of Birmingham (ie the best Med School).

At the time of writing this (June 2023) I’ve just completed first year here, which I’ve thoroughly enjoyed and achieved a Distinction in.

In terms of medicine, I’m interested in pursuing emergency medicine due to its versatility and ability to make such a huge difference in such a pivotal, unexpected and overwhelming part of people’s lives. I’m also excited by medical education and research, and I’m currently involved in projects related to this with national leaders. I’m involved in the Medical Orchestra society, and I will be teaching Basic Life Support to first years starting from September.

Away from University I’m a big F1 fan, so spend half of my weekends watching cars drive around in circles! I also like to play piano and playing with my border terrier dog called Ted. My friends describe me as a calm committed, and down-to-earth person, who balances having a laugh with being serious when needed.

As the first person in my family to go to University at all – yet alone study medicine – I understand some of the challenges of coming from outside of the “culture”, and I hope to help people from all backgrounds have the opportunity to pursue what they love.

I’ve helped two people from the year below me with their applications and interviews to get offers at Birmingham, and receiving the all capitals “I GOT IN” message has got to be one of the highlights of the year! This past year has taught me as much personally as academically, and I’m excited to use what I’ve learnt to help other people get into medicine and thrive.

Hey, I’m Adnan! During my academic journey, I developed a deep love for Medicine at a young age charged by a fascination with the anatomy of the human body and a desire to help others, and I have always been eager to share my knowledge and enthusiasm for this field with others. I have 5 years of experience working as a tutor and educator, helping students of all ages and backgrounds succeed in their education. My goal is not only to help students achieve academic success but also to foster a lifelong passion for learning.

Apart from my professional pursuits, I’ve achieved a Grade 8 in piano. Playing the piano for many years has improved my manual dexterity and precision, skills essential in patient care. I’ve also explored my creativity through piano, participating in Christmas concerts, university events, and care home performances in Leicestershire. I’ve even composed my own music. Alongside this, I excel in table tennis, honing my concentration and aptitude. My accomplishments include earning the Gold DofE award and NCS, instilling discipline and teamwork skills. I derive joy from traveling, exploring natural wonders, and connecting with diverse communities, inspired by my DofE experiences. Additionally, I have a passion for personalising and interior designing my home through painting and decorating. Finally, I’ve been a dedicated magician for seven years, performing sleight of hand, card manipulation, illusions, and mind-reading tricks at weddings, family gatherings, and among friends.

Hi, my name is Arun and I am currently a 4th year medical student at Sheffield University intercalating in a clinical research project. I completed my A-levels, UCAT, and medical interviews in 2020. I had 4 interviews and received offers from all four. I am a well-experienced tutor having completed over 1500 hours of tutoring with Medic Mind 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. 🙂
