Dental Therapy Interview Tutors : 1-1 Dental Therapy Interview Preparation

Hi there! My name is Hafsa and I’m a dentist graduated from The University of Manchester in 2024. After successfuly receiving interviews at all 3 dental schools I applied to, and receiving offers from 2 of them I have a lot of experience I can share to complete a successful and eye-catching application.The personal statement being what sells you on paper and your personal traits being what sells you at your interview. There is so much that is being considered. After experiencing both panel and MMI interviews I have lots of key tips and advice I wish someone told me when I was applying. From volunteering, to personal statements to interview tricks, I can be your support throughout the process. I am on this platform to help increase the number of successful applicants – you could be one of them! 🙂

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, my name is Inthu and I’m currently studying Dental Hygiene and Therapy at the University of Portsmouth. Having completed tough A-level subjects, achieving A* and 2 A’s, I know what it takes to be a top performing student. 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.

Hi! My name is Shazia and I am currently a first year dental student at the University of Leeds. Having achieved all A*s at GCSE’s and A*, A, A at A- level, I believe that these accomplishments reflect not only my dedication to my studies but also my deep understanding of the subjects I teach.

After completing the application process for one of the most competitive degrees, I can understand the overwhelming feeling of stress that a lot of you will feel and I am here to help turn that stress into useful drive and motivation to achieve a high set of grades.

Having very recently sat the 2024 MMI’s gives me first hand experience and puts me in a very fortunate position to be able to support others who want to succeed in their application to dental school, and you could be one of these people! I am very eager to share my experiences and help you achieve your full potential, to give interviewers what they’re looking for in a prospective dental student.

Whether you’re looking for support with science subjects, exam preparation, or guidance on effective study strategies, I’m here to help you achieve your goals. I appreciate that sometimes all you need are answers to general queries about applications/exams; I am here to answer them.

I am a 21-year-old current DHT student studying at the University of Portsmouth Dental Academy. Having previously attended KCL for a year to study a different healthcare course, I decided to take a different trajectory in my career path and pursue dentistry. Successfully getting into the course as a first-time applicant, I am passionate about helping others advance in their future dental careers. Coming from a low-achieving school, I can prove that achieving your goals is possible regardless of your situation. I am proactive in finding alternatives to physical work experience to further aid your path towards a future DHT. Coming from an A-level background, I understand the challenges in applying for this course, as experience is a major factor in candidate selection. Therefore, I will help coach your students through the application process with confidence and reassurance. Additionally, I am big on diversity and inclusion in the dental space. As a black woman in the field, I understand the challenges of entering this profession, and I want to help bridge the gap between dentistry and those with less exposure to the field.

Hello,
My name is Sharvika, a dental student who is committed to helping students achieve academic success and has a strong enthusiasm for education. I believe that, filling in knowledge gaps and fostering an environment of learning encourages comprehension and curiosity and I’m an expert in determining each student’s unique learning preferences and adjusting instructions to guarantee a greater understanding of the material. Beyond textbooks, I hope to empower and inspire individuals by fostering a love of learning that goes beyond the classroom. Selecting me as your tutor means choosing a dedicated guide who is passionate about YOUR development, eager to help you reach your full potential, and involved in your success.
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.

Hi! I’m a final year Dental student at the University of Manchester 🙂 I’ve had lots of experience in tutoring students and prospective students one on one, reviewing personal statements (even if they’re for different courses or courses that are slightly related – e.g. Medicine!), and I’ve provided a lot of Q&A sessions for how I got into Uni and how I got 4/4 of my offers.

I received offers from King’s College London, Queen Mary College, Cardiff University, and the University of Manchester. I come from a socioeconomically deprived area, so I understand how it feels to be in competition for a University spot against others with better luck of the draw. I also have ADHD so I know how it feels to be a neurodivergent student and require slightly different styles and modes of teaching and concentration.

I love working with people and helping them – it’s part of why I want to go into Dentistry! I’d love for a chance to tutor even more people and make sure they’re receiving the best quality education and top personal tips for getting into Uni. Since I’ve worked as a Student Ambassador at UoM, I’ve also received “inside info” on how to ace your interview, and going through so many interviews myself as both the interviewee and the interviewer has given me a lot of experience so I can share all my knowledge with you!

Hi there! I’m Annie, a 23-year-old animal lover, studying Dental Therapy & Hygiene at King’s College London. Some of my hobbies and interests include origami, anime, film, and mindfulness. I’d love to be your tutor for personal statement writing and/or interview preparations!

After the happy accident of falling into Dental Nursing, I fell in love with the world of dentistry and became ambitious to do a degree in Dental Therapy & Hygiene. Once I completed my qualification to become a Registered Dental Nurse, I applied for university straight away!

Dental Nursing provided me with excellent experience in leadership and teamwork. I trained all new members of staff in both practices I worked for, including three Dental Nurses and two Dental Receptionists. This has given me the opportunity to develop my teaching skills and understand the areas requiring improvement in my teaching abilities.

During the exciting process of applying to university and preparing for interviews, this is the best time to speak with those who have been through the process themselves. I will go above and beyond to give you the best tips and advice possible to ensure your place at your dream university!
