Mentoring Tutors : 1-1 Mentoring Preparation

Hello, I’m Pouria, an international medical student at the University of Sheffield. My passion for medicine is matched by my enthusiasm for sharing knowledge and helping others succeed. Throughout my academic journey, I have consistently achieved A* grades in GCSEs and A-levels, thanks to effective revision techniques that I am eager to pass on to you.
My dedication to teaching has driven me to support many students in their academic pursuits. At school, I founded a Healthcare Society, where I successfully mentored over 20 students, helping them secure offers to study medicine and dentistry in the UK. My expertise extends beyond medicine to sciences and mathematics, demonstrated by my achievements such as a Merit in the Maclaurin Olympiad (recognizing me among the top 200 mathematicians out of 200,000 in the UK) and securing 4 A* grades in my A-levels.
In my first and second years at medical school, I achieved high scores, placing me among the top of my year group. Additionally, as the treasurer of the Radiology Society of Sheffield, I contribute to teaching initiatives and have worked on national projects like the UK Medical Licensing Assessment (MLA) teaching. Additionally, I am hosting an anatomy-radiology teaching series for first year medical students.
Outside of academics, I maintain a healthy work-life balance by going to the gym and boxing, hobbies that keep me physically fit and mentally sharp.
Furthermore, I have led a national anatomy and radiology teaching between 4 medical schools and completed research projects in paediatrics radiology, systematic reviews in diagnostic and interventional radiology and audits on paediatrics skeletal surveys. I’m intercalating in MSc medical imaging and have won an academic award at Leeds.
I also enjoy programming and have worked for a company as a web developer in addition to my studies.

Hi, my name is Joanna, a current Clinical Academic Fellow, eager to connect with you to create a learning environment that best fits your learning style and helps you achieve your dreams.

The road to medicine can be long; however, I aim to pass down the wealth of knowledge that I have gained over the years to ensure that your journey will be one where you enjoy the application process and cultivate long-term skills to help you as you enter medicine. Building up endurance and stamina for this journey can only be done with guidance and advice.

Know that you do not have to go through this process alone and that we are here for you to support every need you have during this path.

Apart from medicine, I love languages and often take pride in the number of languages I can communicate. I enjoy teaching IELTS and have helped many students get through this exam with higher scores than they aspired for.

I hope you are ready to embark on this journey together. Be ready to come to each session eager to learn and walk out of the session inspired to learn more.

I’m Lara, a Master’s-qualified midwife and current GEM student. I scored in the top 10% in VR and DM in the UCAT and have served as a trained MMI assessor, giving me direct insight into how MMIs work. I come from a non-traditional background and understand how powerful a “different” profile can be when it is presented with confidence. I support students across the medical school application process, UCAT, MMI interviews, personal statements, and application strategy. With experience teaching university-level students and professional education, my approach is structured and supportive. I’ll help you think clearly, communicate confidently, and perform under pressure. The UCAT is a skills-based and interviews are about structured reflection. Once you understand the logic behind both, the process becomes far easier.
