Mentoring Tutors : 1-1 Mentoring Preparation

I am amirreza, currently in my fourth year of studying Medicine and Surgery. I would like to share some aspects of my academic journey and experiences that I believe align with your esteemed institution’s values and aspirations.

My academic path at the University of Padua has been marked by active participation and a strong commitment to my fellow students. As the official representative of the entire Medicine and Surgery Course in English, I have had the privilege of assisting my peers with their academic and personal challenges. My role extended to providing valuable tutoring, enabling them to grasp complex course materials more effectively.

Additionally, I have been an integral part of the Padua Medical Council, where I collaborated closely with professors and council members. Our collective efforts have contributed to curriculum enhancements and the organization of elective courses like emergency medicine. Moreover, I actively participated in the admission process for new students, helping to shape the future of our program.

As a tutor, both within and outside the university, I have channeled my passion for becoming a doctor into guiding others. My dedication to understanding the material on a profound level is fueled by my belief that one day, this knowledge will enable me to save lives. For now, my greatest joy lies in assisting aspiring medical students in achieving their dreams of gaining admission to medical school. Together, we can make a significant difference.

Furthermore, I take pride in consistently ranking as a top student in my course. This reflects my unwavering commitment to excellence in my studies.

Beyond academia, I am an enthusiastic voluntary member of the Red Cross, where I have the opportunity to contribute to humanitarian causes and make a positive impact on the lives of those in need.

Warm regards,

amir reza

Hi there, I’m Louis and I’m currently in my third year studying medicine at Leicester. My journey into medicine was not simple and I’ve come to realise that’s often the case for many of us.

Education holds immense value, particularly in the medical field. However I advocate for a holistic approach, one that prioritises excelling academically while also nurturing a well-rounded life. It’s crucial to be the best version of ourselves to effectively aid others in the long run.

Throughout my academic journey, I’ve honed qualities like discipline, efficiency, and simplicity. These traits, finely sharpened in the rigours of medical school, have contributed significantly to my personal growth. I owe this growth to medical school and I want others to feel what I feel.

My aspiration extends beyond personal development. I’m keen on guiding aspiring medical students, sharing insights to help them avoid the pitfalls and challenges I encountered. I believe aiding others in their journey to medical school not only fosters their growth as professionals but also nurtures their personal evolution. It’s about shaping not just future medics, but well-rounded individuals who can make a meaningful difference.

Hi there!

My name is Ruairi (think roar-ree). I have recently graduated from the University of Cambridge with, among other things, a first-class with distinction in my dissertation on public policy. Throughout my time at Cambridge, I have taken papers spanning development, economics, law, and policy. I am combining the knowledge and skills I gained during my undergraduate degree to become a corporate lawyer at a global, Top 20 AM Law firm.

In the meantime, I would like to tutor you! I have thoroughly enjoyed tutoring in the past and believe I can help you excel in a wide range of subjects. I would also be more than happy to help with applications and interviews, be that to universities or to law firms. More generally, I can give you advice on navigating college/sixth form, university, and the corporate world, based on my past successes (and failures!).

Outside of academia and work, I like to watch Arsenal and international rugby. I am also hoping to get back into gym and kickboxing in the new academic year, as well as jewellery-making.

I hope to hear from you soon – please do reach out if you are interested!

Hi, my name is Ips. I’m an undergraduate Biomedical Science student from the UK.

I am creative, adaptable, and forward-thinking, with excellent communication skills and a proven ability to develop and manage relationships.

I am an ambitious, enthusiastic, and hardworking individual looking to develop my academic skills in the professional world of healthcare and science. I am also a keen learner in all fields and aspects. Further to add, I am adept at public speaking and am receptive to change, and willing to learn and take on board exciting challenges.

I like writing and have written several unpublished short books and articles. Aside from my love of traveling, I also enjoy playing sports and reading. If I’m missing, then it’s best to look for me in the kitchen whipping together a tasty meal or punching the bag at my gym for the extra pump of endorphins and dopamine.

I’m often found dawdling in the world of academic creativity. As a nerd who doesn’t always ace her exams, I’m always there for a good conversation with a strong espresso at hand 🙂

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.
