I am a 18 year-old first year medical student at the University of Edinburgh with a great passion for mentoring and teaching younger students which I have done in the past during high school at national level for S1-S6 students. I would love to develop my transferrable skills and help with the delivery of medicine-related courses (UCAT, exam and interview preparation) for younger students as I learned a lot going through the process during a difficult time and I want to share my knowledge and tips to the next generations of applicants. I achieved all A1s at National 5, Higher and Advanced Higher level in high school and during my application to medicine I received a 2850 B1 in my UCAT and secured all 4 offers to the University of Edinburgh, Dundee, Glasgow and St. Andrews for 2022 entry. (and helped younger students achieve offers from the University of Aberdeen)

I feel as though I have the necessary patience and empathy to tutor students who may find it difficult to grasp confusing concepts therefore I feel I’d be good at breaking down complex topics into simpler terms by adapting to the student’s teaching style. I have noted and kept record of some of the resources which were extremely beneficial and accurate for me during my application and I am able to reflect upon the materials I utilised and provide the best possible advice for future students

Dear Students and Parents,

I am Sakinah, a dedicated and driven penultimate-year medical student with a rich tapestry of experience spanning over 5 years in the realm of tutoring. My journey has led me to guide aspiring minds into the corridors of prestigious medical and nursing schools, alongside fostering remarkable accomplishments in GCSE and A-level examinations.

My tutoring ethos is rooted in adaptability, recognising that each student is a unique learner with their aspirations and challenges. I am genuinely vested in understanding and nurturing your individual growth.

Beyond being a profession, teaching is my fervent passion. As I tread through the final stages of my medical degree, my sights are set on pursuing a Master’s in Medical Education, underscoring my commitment to the art of teaching. A personal journey with dyslexia and ADHD has endowed me with heightened empathy towards students grappling with diverse learning difficulties. Elevating self-esteem holds equal importance to me as imparting knowledge.

Effective communication lies at the heart of my approach. I am resolute in cultivating a robust teacher-student relationship, complemented by equipping you with meticulously curated, evidence-based revision techniques. Let us embark on this academic expedition together, transcending mere learning into an enjoyable and enriching experience. 📚🧠

Warm regards,
Sakinah
