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! 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 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.

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.

Hello everyone! My name is Livana and I am currently a third year medical student at the University of Newcastle.

I have been tutoring for five years in subjects ranging from biology, chemistry and maths, all the way to the UCAT, and I am very keen on helping everyone! I also love helping people in their preparation for Medical and Dental school interviews.

In my free time, my hobbies include Taekwondo, playing the violin and hanging out with my friends! I work as a dentist and volunteer at community clinics in providing subsidised dental care to people who drop in for emergency dental treatment (this program is organised by my university).

I listen to your needs and I adapt my lessons to enhance your learning! So let me know how you like to learn and we can get you on your way to achieving the grades you want!

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!
