Neuroscience Tutors : 1-1 Neuroscience Lessons

I’m a graduate-entry medical student with a background in neuroscience and a strong passion for teaching and supporting others in their learning. I have experience working with children through volunteering at Elim Church Coventry, where I supported children with additional needs using play, sensory activities, and structured routines. This developed my patience and ability to adapt to different learning styles. I also worked as a healthcare assistant supporting adults with learning disabilities, which strengthened my communication and empathy. In medical school, I’ve supported my peers by breaking down complex topics into simple, engaging explanations. My long-term goal is to become a doctor who not only treats but also educates and empowers others. Tutoring is a natural extension of this, and I’m excited to help students build confidence, improve their understanding, and enjoy learning.

Hello Tutees! I’m Shaun, a 5th year medical student at Magdalene College, the University of Cambridge and I’m have an interest in surgery as well as neuroscience and molecular biology. I also intercalated in psychology in my 3rd year. I’m a fun, friendly and approachable tutor who’s really excited to help you all reach you’re, very achievable, goals!
I come from a town in Yorkshire where I went to an underperforming state comprehensive, no-one from my school had ever even applied for anywhere like Cambridge for medicine, me being here today is a testament to the additional time and effort I had to put in to my university application and A-levels. All that stress and work is handy though, I know an awful lot about university applications for medicine, to Cambridge and Oxford, as well as for general applications across the board. I achieved offers from everywhere I interviewed at (I withdrew from one of my options) so I can really be a good help for interview skills. I also achieved some of my schools best ever A-levels and even nabbed some golds in subject olympiads.
What can I do for you?

My name is Abdullaziz Amr, a final-year medical student with strong academic standing and extensive clinical exposure. Over the past years, I’ve built a solid foundation in internal medicine, surgery, pediatrics, and obstetrics and gynecology, completing most of the undergraduate curriculum with distinction. I also actively train in ophthalmology, where I’ve gained hands-on experience using the slit lamp, performing vision assessments, and observing specialty clinics. My learning style focuses on simplifying complex topics, connecting mechanisms to real clinical practice, and guiding students to truly understand rather than memorize. I’m passionate about teaching and helping students improve their confidence, study skills, and medical reasoning. As a medical student myself I understand how hard medical school can be. But again with my studying skills and experience I am confident together we can turn things around.

Growing up in Sheffield and attending a local state school, I am the first of my family to attend university and as such have a strong appreciation for the challenges in accessing higher education.

During my undergraduate degrees in Medical Sciences and Medicine, I developed a special interest in neuroscience and pharmacology. Pursuing these interests, I assisted in a research project at the Nuffield Department of Clinical Neurosciences investigating the “Effects of different pulse parameters on TMS induced heart-brain coupling” and completed an extended essay dissertation titled “To what extent can changes in reinforcement learning explain the antidepressant effects of dopaminergic drugs?”

In my third year, as part of my Final Honours School, I elected to study options from the following modules:
• Chemical Pharmacology
• Pharmacology and Signalling
• Cellular Neuroscience
• Systems Neuroscience
• Cognitive and Behavioural Neuroscience

I am currently finishing my Medicine degree, expanding my clinical knowledge and skillset.

When I’m not studying medicine, I am an avid rower and coxswain. In 2023 I was the boatclub president for my college club and at my home club I am involved in coaching novice rowers. I also enjoy playing the guitar, in which I have attained Grade 8.

In my spare time, I peer review submissions for the British Student Doctor Journal.

Hello! I’m Sophie, a recent graduate from the University of Cambridge with a First Class (Honours) degree in Psychological and Behavioural Sciences. During my time at Cambridge I studied a broad range of topics across the Psychology, Biology, and Archeology departments. I also completed a funded research internship in a neuroscience lab in the Experimental Psychology Department at the University of Oxford, and I’m about to begin my Master’s degree at UCL.

Before university I achieved 4 A* at A-Level (in Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics and Politics), and 11 A* at GCSE.

I am very passionate about science, and I love helping students explore these subjects both across and beyond their GCSE and A-Level curricula. I also have experience helping students through the university application process, including both personal statements and Oxbridge interviews. I know just how daunting this process can feel, so I’m really looking forward to supporting students throughout their application in order to give them the best possible chances of getting an offer from their dream university!
