Food Science Tutors : 1-1 Food Science Lessons

My name is Mildred and I am an international student currently studying Medicine at Cardiff University. The road to medical school isn’t easy, but it is achievable with the right guidance and support. As a tutor, I hope to pass on the knowledge and advice that I have gathered over the years to help others on their journey to medical school.

I tutor children from GCSEs to A levels, helping them achieve grades that set them up for a strong application. I also offer guidance with medical school applications and help students in preparing for their interviews. Through mock scenarios, detailed feedback and in depth analysis with each student on their strengths and weaknesses, I help my students become well rounded applicants. Overall, I have been able to give my previous students the guidance into building strong medical school applications all the way from the grades needed to the skills required to succeed in their interviews.

I am extremely passionate that students get the best possible chance when applying to medical school; many students have the potential but not everyone is strategic with their applications. I hope to help as many students as I can step closer to their dreams of becoming a doctor.

Hi I’m Alina!. I’m a second year medical student at the University of Liverpool. I really enjoy meeting new people and helping them to achieve their goals so tutoring is a great fit!

At A-level I studied Biology (A*), Chemistry (A) and English Literature (A*).

At GCSE, the main subjects I studied were: Maths (8), English Literature (9), English Language (9), Biology (9), Physics (9) and Chemistry (8)

The academic demands of applying to medicine are high, and as such, I had to develop a strong work ethic and revision/exam techniques, which I am more than happy to pass on in our sessions.

I used tutors throughout secondary school, mainly for help with Biology, Chemistry and English. I found the help of my tutors invaluable; without it, I don’t think I would have achieved the same grades or even gotten into medical school!

I also think that the interview preparation course that I attended was crucial to me receiving offers from Medical schools. This allowed me to face my fears by stimulating the interview environment so boosted my confidence for the real ones. I also think the feedback I received was so useful to reflect on and analyse in order to improve my performance. I therefore would really like to help others in the same position!

Hello 🙂 My name is Dr Howells, I have achieved several university degrees, and hold a PhD in Neurophysiology. I was an Associate Professor at the University of Cape Town, and now hold an Honorary Professorship with my alma mater, with my return to the UK. I returned to the UK to support an ageing parent, and this geographical change also permitted me to move out of academia into consulting, which I enjoy. But I have missed teaching, supporting student progress, and seeing them achieve their academic goals! This led me to serving as a supply teacher for a local secondary school, which I do enjoy, and has led me to taking up online tutoring roles.

I have always loved nature in all of its forms and always remain curious. This drove my undergraduate degree towards human physiology and psychology, which I completed through a remote university. My first degree led to opening the floodgates of wanting to seek more, and went on to complete a BSc(Med)Hons degree in Physiology, then registered for an MSc which was upgraded due to progress made, and completed my PhD. My PhD led to the production of 5 peer-reviewed publications. I then went on to complete 4 years postdoctoral research and climbed the academic ranks to Associate Professor.

Hi! My name is Emily, I’m 19 and a student at the University of East Anglia and entering my second year studying BSc Environmental Sciences – hoping to pursue a career as an Environmental Consultant and as an advisor to the government on Net Zero ambitions. I have a passion for Geography and Science (Biology and Chemistry) achieving A*AA at A-level as well as an A* in my EPQ which investigated how impactful recycling is in my local area of London on the climate crisis. This is also reflected in my GCSE grades (7-9/A-A**) achieving 9s in Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Geography and Food Preparation and Nutrition. I am a determined individual who had to work hard for my academic success, often putting in 12 hour days at sixth form, but paid off after receiving 3 Russell Group offers from Durham, Manchester and Southampton – but eventually picking UEA, where I fell in love with the course and the acres of land!

Hi! I’m Lauren and I’m a second year Psychology in Education undergrad student! Having gone through the standard English state school system, I understand and relate to students struggling with maintaining a healthy school-life balance whilst remaining calm and confident regarding their results. Seeing how myself and my fellow students struggled during our GCSEs and A-Levels inspired and pushed me towards an Education oriented degree and career path (hopefully!).

The bulk of my GCSE Education happened throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, eventually receiving my GCSEs at the end of the 2021 academic year. Because of this, I like to think I have a unique experience regarding Education, giving me a wide range of perspectives and keeping me open-minded to the struggles students face. During my secondary education, I also had exam arrangements. As I am a SEN student myself, I am particularly sensitive to the difficulties SEN students face when moving through the school system and understand how SEN can change an individuals perspective of education for the negative. However, education is something I remain passionate about and I aim to make learning more accessible to those who feel averse to learning because of educational needs.

In my spare time, I regularly hike around national parks in Northern England, particularly the Peak District and North York Moors. I also compete in University athletics competitions, especially cross-country racing.
