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

Hi I’m Asvitha. I am going into my first year at Cardiff University to study Dentistry. I have previously completed a degree in Dental Hygiene at the University of Portsmouth. I have always wanted to become a dentist and from applying to dentistry second time I was able to get into dental school. I have an outgoing and funny personality so I am approachable for anyone. I enjoy spending time with family as well as outdoor activities. I like to have an active lifestyle to ensure I have a balanced life. It’s important when studying demanding courses like dentistry, having a balanced lifestyle can help with stress. I have over 4 years of tutoring experience for students studying GCSE and A-Level. I have tutored students for English Maths and Science with all my previous students obtaining grades over 7 and above.

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. I achieved a high UCAT score with 870 in Abstract Reasoning, placing me in the top percentile for this section. I’ve been supporting dental applicants for the past four years through personal statements, interview preparation and application strategy.
During my application cycle I received 3 offers and I have tutored students for interviews from most universities, which has given me a strong understanding of how interview styles, questions and expectations vary between universities. I’m approachable, friendly and genuinely enjoy helping students feel confident and prepared during what can be a very stressful process. I always encourage questions and make sure students fully understand how to structure and deliver strong answers.

Alongside dentistry applications, i also teach GCSE maths and sciences as well as A-level Biology which has helped me develop a clear, structured and supportive teaching style tailored to each student.

Hi! My name is Sara. I’m a graduate and currently practicing as a dentist. Over the years, I’ve successfully applied to competitive healthcare programs—including Medicine, Dentistry, Pharmacy, Dental Hygiene, Dental Therapy, and Nursing—in countries such as the UK, Australia, and Canada. With strong UCAT scores and a high acceptance rate across my applications, I understand what it takes to stand out in both the application and interview process. I have over five years of experience tutoring students for healthcare admissions, and I’ve also taught Dentistry professionally.

My approach is friendly, structured, and tailored to your individual goals—let’s work together to help you succeed!

I am a confident driven individual, with a friendly personality which enables me to work well with individuals of all ages. My patience as well as willingness to help students has enabled me to ensure students understand tricky concepts and be able to replicate this understanding in exams to achieve top grades. I have tutored many students of all age groups, from KS1 all the way up to GCSE in Maths and science, including 11+, for the past 5 years.

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.

Hi, my name is Inthu and I’m currently studying Dental Hygiene and Therapy at the University of Portsmouth.

I have secured an offer to study postgraduate dentistry, where I had to sit the UCAT exam (I scored 800 on AR and a total score of 2820, Band 2)and therefore I can help you understand the framework on how to achieve your potential in this exam. Im socially confident and can tailor education to students if all backgrounds. Apart from education I am very outgoing and can form good rapport with people, making sure they are able to have trust in their tutor, in order to help them. I can provide advice on applying to university as it is an awkward stage in life and could be difficult.
