Dental Hygiene Interview Tutors : 1-1 Dental Hygiene Interview Preparation

Hello everyone,
My name is Mohammad, and I am a graduate of King’s College London (KCL). I am currently practicing as a dentist and am passionate about helping others achieve their academic and personal goals. I consider myself a hardworking, dedicated, and enthusiastic individual who is always eager to share knowledge and support students in their learning journey.

I have been teaching for over four years and I am proud to maintain a 100% interview success rate for Dentistry applicants at Queen Mary University of London, King’s College London, the University of Plymouth, the University of Manchester, the University of Leeds, Newcastle University, the University of Glasgow, and the University of Sheffield. Additionally, my students applying for Medicine have achieved a 100% interview success rate at Brighton and Sussex Medical School, Hull York Medical School, and King’s College London.

Academically, I achieved outstanding results in my A-levels—A*A*AA in Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics, and Persian—and obtained 9 GCSEs with top grades, including A grades in Mathematics, Science, and English. I aim to inspire confidence in my students and encourage them to believe in their own abilities.

With over four years of tutoring experience, I have successfully helped the majority of my students reach or exceed their target grades. My teaching approach is structured and student-focused. Each session typically begins with a thorough explanation of the topic, followed by assessment to ensure understanding. I address any difficulties before concluding the lesson and often assign homework to reinforce learning and familiarize students with exam-style questions.

I have in-depth experience teaching across various exam boards and tailor my approach to suit individual learning styles. In August 2020, I completed a mentoring course that further enhanced my ability to understand and support students. This training has enabled me to develop personalized learning plans that align with each student’s unique strengths and needs.

I believe that with the right guidance and support, every student can realize their full potential. I look forward to the opportunity to help more students succeed.

Hi! My name is Ruhab and I’m a 4th year student studying Dental Surgery in Leeds. Dental school application & interviews can be a daunting process, especially if you don’t know where to start. Having applied to dental school both as a graduate & undergrad, and having given interviews at three different dental schools, I am familiar with the variety of common interview questions asked and potential mistakes that applicants can make. Previously, I have tutored students online and have also helped dental and medical applicants refine and enhance their personal statements. I can help you familiarise with all things related to dentistry- whether you want to know more about the GDC guidelines or want help brushing up some common dental knowledge or even quick mock interviews, I’ll be happy to guide you on your journey to dental school!

Hi, I’m Maria!
I’m a 4th-year dental student at the University of Sheffield and a Biomedical Sciences graduate from Queen Mary University of London. With a strong academic background in human biology, physiology, and life sciences, alongside over 4 years of tutoring experience, I support students across GCSE, A-level, and university applications. I have helped students improve their grades, build confidence, and secure offers from competitive universities.

UCAT Exam Tutoring:
I provide structured UCAT tutoring, drawing on my own scores of the top percentile in AR, and high 700s in the other sections. Since my own UCAT exam, I have tutored hours worth of preparation to students and further built on key tips and techniques for the exam.
I help students develop the strategies, timing techniques, and confidence needed to perform well across all sections of the UCAT with speed.
My approach is highly personalised, I adapt sessions based on performance and progress, ensuring students maximise their potential and approach the exam with confidence.

Biology Tutoring (GCSE & A-level):
I help students develop a deep understanding of key concepts while also mastering exam technique. My background in Biomedical Sciences and Dentistry allows me to explain topics in a clear, applied way, linking theory to real-life clinical examples where helpful.
My teaching focuses on understanding rather than memorisation. I break down complex topics into manageable steps, using diagrams, active recall, and structured explanations to ensure clarity. I tailor each lesson to the student’s needs, whether that’s covering difficult content, revising efficiently, or improving exam performance. I also incorporate exam-style questions and teach students how to structure high-quality answers, focusing on what examiners are looking for.

Dental School Applications & Interview Preparation:
I have over four years of experience supporting dental applicants through personal statements, interview preparation, and overall application strategy. During my own application cycle, I received 3 offers, and I have since worked with students applying to a wide range of universities.
This has given me a strong understanding of how interview styles and expectations vary, including MMI and panel formats. I help students develop strong, structured answers to common and challenging questions and build confidence in communication and delivery
My sessions are supportive but thorough, with detailed feedback to help students continuously improve and stand out as strong candidates.

I am currently a dental student at Kings College London. I am much aware of how difficult it is to gain a place at medical and dental schools with many loopholes such as admission exams, personal statement, work experience, interviews as well as A levels! My experience of working with admission tutors on interview panels has given me insight into this process and what they are looking for. As a result, I have successfully mentored many students through each step allowing them to gain places on competitive courses such as medicine and dentistry at Russell Group universities.
