Personal Statement Teachers : 1-1 Personal Statement Preparation

My name is Elina Pampapathi and I am a Third Year Medical Student at Queen Mary University of London. I am a Graduate Entry Medic with a background in Paramedic Science for which I received a First. I received 4/4 offers for my application; two Graduate Entry Course offers, and two Direct Entry course offers – so I can help either prospective Graduates or Direct Entry students. Additionally, I received within the top 5% globally for my UCAT and have many great hints and tips to help maximise your score. I have just finished my 1st year of Medicine and received a merit for my exam results, which is within the top 20% of my cohort – I had to change my study techniques a lot when I came into medicine and can provide some useful perspective to preparing for a medical degree. I would like to help prospective students make the application process as stress free as possible because I do believe that it can be!

Hello, I’m Talhah Bin-Islam—a highly driven biomedical science graduate preparing to begin Graduate Entry Medicine at the University of Nottingham. I am deeply passionate about education, academic excellence, and mentoring the next generation of achievers. I have extensive tutoring experience across a wide range of subjects, supporting students from 11+, KS2, KS3, GCSE, A-Level, and beyond. I also specialize in university preparation, including medical school applications at both undergraduate and graduate levels.

My approach is not just about delivering knowledge but building strategic thinking, resilience, and long-term success. I believe in creating high-impact results by tailoring learning to each student’s aspirations. With a strong foundation in medicine, education, and personal development, I bring energy, precision, and ambition to every session. I am committed to helping every student unlock their full potential and push beyond what they believe is possible.

I hold an Upper Second Class Honours in my Master’s degree in Pharmacy and have been working in various pharmacy settings since the age of 19. Over the years, I have gained valuable experience across both NHS and private healthcare sectors, including placements and roles in general practice, hospital pharmacy, and community settings. This diverse exposure has enabled me to develop a broad, flexible, and adaptable skill set, while significantly strengthening my clinical knowledge. Working in multidisciplinary teams and caring for patients from a range of backgrounds has also enhanced my communication, leadership, and decision-making skills. These experiences have given me the confidence and competence to thrive in complex clinical environments and deliver safe, high-quality pharmaceutical care.

I got to Cambridge without the help I needed, and that is why I am now dedicated to alleviate the same panic, stress and pressure by being a mentor and guide to many aspirants. I am a third-year law student and I know first-hand how confusing and intimidating the process can feel when you do not have guidance, and I have spent the past two years turning that experience into a clear, structured system that helps students succeed. I specialise in Law admissions, LNAT preparation and Oxbridge interview coaching, with consistent results across Oxbridge and Russell Group universities. My approach goes beyond grades and model answers. I focus on strategy, confidence, and how to think under pressure, so students walk into exams and interviews calm, prepared and in control. I offer a complete, supportive package and take genuine pride in seeing students exceed what they thought was possible.

My name is Hayley, and I am a professional tutor with over six years of experience teaching LLB, LNAT, GCSE and A Level students. My wealth of experience spans across subjects including English Literature, English Language, Sociology, Geography, History, Business, and Media Studies. I hold a First Class Honours degree in Law, and I am currently studying the Solicitor’s Course (LLM LPC), which allows me to bring academic rigour, strong analytical skills, and professionalism to every lesson.

I began tutoring out of a genuine passion for education and a belief that every student can excel with the right guidance. I have supported learners of all abilities, from high performing students aiming for grades 8/9, to those starting with inconsistent study habits. Through clear teaching, structured lessons, and consistent encouragement, 93% of my students have achieved grades 7- 9, with all students improving by at least one grade in a single term.

My lessons are structured yet flexible, with a strong focus on exam technique. I teach students how to plan essays, analyse texts and arguments, meet assessment objectives, and express ideas clearly under timed conditions. Whether we are analysing a poem or evaluating sociological theory, my goal is to build deep understanding and exam confidence.

Moreover, supporting students with SEND and SEMH needs is an important part of my work. I adapt lessons to provide structure and emotional understanding, and I always aim to create an inclusive environment where every student feels able to succeed.

I also support students with undergraduate LLB personal statements, academic interview preparation, and developing key legal skills. I offer lessons on OSCOLA referencing and legal research using LexisNexis and Westlaw, helping students master accurate citation and effective research techniques.

In addition, I provide a proofreading service for LLB essays, coursework, and dissertations. This includes guidance on structure, formatting, and content development to improve clarity, logic, relevance, and flow. All documents are returned using Track Changes, and discounts are available for tutoring students, multiple submissions, or revisions of the same piece after feedback.

What motivates me most is seeing students grow in both skill and confidence. Whether they are aiming for top grades, preparing for university, or building belief in themselves, I am committed to supporting each student’s progress and wellbeing. Thank you for taking the time to learn a little about me.

My teaching philosophy is simple: combine knowledge with empathy, structure with creativity, and hard work with encouragement. Together, these values consistently lead to success.

Thank you for taking the time to learn a little about me.
