Hailing from Northern Ireland, my lifelong aspiration to become a dentist has been deeply rooted in my unwavering passion for healthcare.

The opportunity to combine scientific knowledge with hands-on patient care has been a driving force behind my academic journey. It’s a privilege to pursue my dreams in the field of dentistry, and I’m committed to making a positive difference in oral healthcare.

My method of teaching is customised to each student, taking into account their own learning preferences and shortcomings.

My name is Siddeeqah.
Currently, I am a second year dental student.
I recently completed my A levels in biology chemistry and maths. I then decided to go along the science route and pursue a career in dentistry.
I chose dentistry for a number of different reasons. Dentistry is a fulfilling career as it will allow me to actively improve the oral health of my patients which will be very rewarding. Dentistry is also a multi faceted career which combines many different skills such as problem solving, manual dexterity, good communication as well as time management which is quite appealing. It also provides a good work life balance and there is always the opportunity to further specialise into your chosen field of study.
My interest in science stems from secondary school. I enjoyed biology the most since I was intrigued to learn about the inner workings of the human body. I progressed and studied biology at a level to further develop my knowledge and currently, at university I study anatomy and histology which are both branches of biology.
I also really enjoyed maths throughout secondary school and college. My favourite part of maths was trigonometry at a level. I liked the challenge of solving difficult equations. Maths allowed me to develop transferable skills such as problem solving and thinking analytically and critically which will also be required of me as a dentist in the future.

I would describe myself as a very driven character, and that is probably what has led me to my pathway into dentistry. It takes a lot of determination and I feel that I have the ability to not only Ade but inspire students to be able to push on to go into these very academic prospects of careers to fulfil their own dreams, I currently have a lot of experience in teaching not only in personal statements but also the UCAT, BMAT, interview preparation, as well as just general coaching on advice on what to do. Not only for dentistry but also medicine because that was another and I was healthcare profession. I was also considering alongside dentistry there is also dental hygiene and therapy which I’m also very familiar with. I would say I like to have a positive effect on everyone and people were described as a very friendly and outgoing individual.
