Physiology Tutors : 1-1 Physiology Preparation

I am a final year medical student at Flinders University who is about to graduate soon. In addition, to studying medicine at Flinders I have also participated in extracurriculars such as university sports and medrevue, as stage manager. Medrevue which is a musical that is organized by medical students every year.

I moved to Australia 10 years ago and did not have much experience with their tertiary education system. However, my experiences with volunteering and private tutoring helped me build a network which later helped me gain useful advice when trying to seek admission into an undergraduate university course. I believe I would be of use to anyone who needs some mentoring while trying to navigate the tertiary education system in Australia.

The networks I was able to establish during the course of my undergraduate degree helped me a lot when trying to gain admission into medicine in Australia. I studied Bachelors of Biomedicine at University of Melbourne graduating with a First class Honors Average and a GPA of 6.8out of a maximum of 7. I was a subjective representative as well. Following my undergraduate degree a spent an year of honors research with the aged care group at the Royal Melbourne Hospital. As a result of my research I was able to publish articles in reputable journals.

I am currently studying medicine at Flinders where some members of the faculty have let me know that I have been scoring in the top 10 % of students. I am a anatomy/dissection tutor for junior medical students as well

Teaching Style

I believe in an engaging, student-centered approach that fosters curiosity and confidence. My goal is to make complex concepts accessible and relatable, whether you’re preparing for exams, improving foundational knowledge, or exploring medical topics at a deeper level.

I am actively involved in various initiatives to raise awareness about Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic issues as well as presenting to the British Medical Association (BMA) Student Conference in 2023, the University of Exeter and platforms like Future Frontline on decolonising healthcare. I spoke on a panel at the Exeter Respect Festival launch where I delved into the racial inequities seen in medical education and the impact this has had on perspectives within the NHS and medical school. As well as national/local speaker events, I have spoken at TEDxNHS, for which I recieved editors pick (and is yet to be published) where I inspired over 400 audience members about my experience with representation and advocacy in medical education.

I has also hosted multiple presentations to students, academics and the public on the issues present in medical education regarding under- representation of skin tones and dangerous generalisations found in medical literature. This has included the Public Involvement in Medical Education group, Devon and Exeter Medical Society, the Let’s Talk about Series with St Lukes, Brighton and Sussex Medical School Anti-racism conference, Posters In Parliament and have even represented Medical student dedicated to making a change on the BBC, LBC, The Doctor by the BMA and at the London University of Osteopathy. My impact on the local and wider community has grown throughout the year and have continued to develop as more groups and individuals interact with me and my work. My written work can be seen with the creation of the Times Higher Education article co-written with professor, Dr Maisha Reza on decolonising the medical curriculum, as well as the Decolonise Healthcare conference in Exeter last June.

My commitment to creating a more equitable and accessible healthcare system has also been witnessed with the creation of Skin For All, an online educational platform that represents the most commonly seen skin conditions on various skin tones. The platform has collected a respectable audience while capturing the attention of the local Exeter audience and the wider national/international community. Diversity is at the heart of this website with the use of inclusive language, questions to help the public and detailed disease profiles to contribute to medical students’ learning. The platform has received high praise with many students having said Skin For All is a “Fantastic website aimed at a really important topic” and “on the same level as the award winning Mind The Gap”; as well as members of the public stating it is “very well-rounded and comprehensive, especially with the usage of non-medical language”. I have also written my first self-published 200 page e-book, Skin For All, which I have researched and designed solely to raise awareness about representation in medical education as well as influence otmys to carry out similar activities.

I am committed to helping my peers experience an inclusive, representative learning environment; now seen with the introduction of the Future Dr Newsletter which aims to make Medical opportunities more accessible to students. I want to leave a lasting impact on my community, not only within the Exeter region, but within the medical community internationally. My work has already been recognised, with my recent nomination as finalist for the Bright Network Impact Awards, and Exeter Guild awards as well as being made winner of the 2023 BMBS Citizenship, Rising Star in Healthcare Award by wearethecity and the 2024 Racial Justice in Medicine prize awarded by the American Medical Students Association; making her the first British medical student to have received this award.

Hi my name is Zaryaab Shah and I am currently a 2nd year medical student at Brighton and Sussex Medical School. I have a plethora of experience helping Medicine applicants through GCSE, A-Level qualifications and entrance exams like the BMAT as well as for interviews. I believe my extensive experience tutoring Medicine applicants allows me to tailor my teaching for the student and I can help them in a more personalised way. Having scored well in the BMAT and getting top grades at GCSE and at A-Level, I believe I can use my experience and skills to help other students do the exact same. To me to gain an offer at a medical school involves possessing a good knowledge of the medicine application process. I believe that as well as being a great tutor I can offer students advice tailored to them and their applications.

Hi, I am Ellen, a Biomedical Science graduate (First Class Honours Degree) and I am currently studying Graduate Entry Medicine.

I have experience tutoring students of all ages and I aim to support you, to help you reach your goals. My students are the focus of every session and I aim to coach you to succeed.

I can provide subject tutoring as well as provide tips to help you find your unique learning style, a method that is most efficient for you. This is something as a student studying an accelerated medical course, I learnt to do quickly!

I’ve also gained offers from all medical schools I interviewed for (MMI and panel interview), and I have helped others prepare and pass their interviews as well.

One of my goals within my medical career is to maintain links with my university to continue teaching/mentoring/tutoring wherever I can, as this is a real passion of mine.

I’m very patient, I understand everything doesn’t come naturally, and therefore I’m here to help you!

Hi there, my name is Agbo Pethiyagoda! I am a first year medical student at Cardiff University. I’d love to meet you and become your tutor! I know how daunting the application process for “Medical School” can be and since I went through the whole process very recently, I would be able to share with you the tips and tricks that I used to my advantage during my interviews.

I was the Deputy Head Prefect of my high school, and I am a public speaker.
In addition, I am also the “Founding President” of the Social Services Club at my high school. I’ve organised many volunteering projects, and all of these experiences made me fall in love with the satisfaction I got from helping people. The field of medical research also interests me, and all these have led me to pursue a career in medicine.

I was also a member of the Badminton Team at school. So I had to make sure that I took great care in balancing my academics with my extra curricular activities. With what I’ve been able to achieve so far, I believe that I am good at time management too. These are qualities that we all must have at university, and I’d love to share any tips and experiences that I have had as a university student.

Hi! My name is Joseph and I am going into my third year studying biological Natural Sciences at the University of Cambridge. I will specialise in Pathology, but have taken physiology, neurobiology and chemistry at degree level too. I understand how exhausting the Oxbridge application process can be, and how challenging it is to balance this with preparation for exams too. I want to assure you that your success is my priority and I am happy to help in any way that I can. Whether you need help with your personal statement, admissions exams, interviews or with your end of year exams I am determined to help you succeed. I hope that I can help you be excited about applying to University too – researching universities and writing applications feels daunting but as someone who is having a great time at university currently, I know that the end result is worth it. I do a lot of theatre at university which requires a lot of time management skills to balance alongside a demanding degree, but I do this because I understand the importance of finding joy outside of academic work. In my lessons I will help you succeed but I will encourage this in a healthy and productive way.

Experienced medical educator dedicated to nurturing future healthcare professionals. I bring a passion for teaching, a deep understanding of medical concepts, and a commitment to fostering critical

Hello! My name is Shimza, I am a medic at the University of Glasgow. I am passionate about teaching and learning, and I hope to make you just as motivated! Before I applied to Medical School, I gained some tutoring experience at both a tutoring organisation, as well as volunteering for a volunteering tutoring organisation to offer educational support for pupils from disadvantaged backgrounds. I found this to be an extremely rewarding experience to see pupils grow in confidence, as well as seeing their progress in their studies. I have worked with a wide range of pupils of different age groups and abilities and I relish the opportunity to support other aspiring medics in their transition to medical school! In my free time, I enjoy doing various activities including volunteering, arts and crafts and badminton which has helped me to grow as a well-organised, supportive and creative individual. I hope to support students by tailoring teaching towards their specific needs, strengths and weaknesses, as well as gaining confidence. I have also further developed my interpersonal skills such as communication skills as well as leadership skills through being a student mentor for aspiring medics at my university. This has meant that I have been able to help support and offer application advice for school pupils, and I hope to bring the same forward here!

My name is Kathryn and I am originally from Toronto, Canada. I completed my Bachelor’s degree in Life Sciences at Queen’s University in Canada and went on to complete my Master’s in Biomedical and Molecular Sciences also at Queen’s. My Master’s focused on cardiovascular research, which is a field that I will continue to pursue as an academic doctor as part of the Cambridge Academic Foundation Programme. Apart from medicine, I really enjoy the outdoors, cycling, and traveling. I also love trying new foods! As someone who didn’t have these supports growing up, I really want to give back and help other students navigate their way through medicine. After accomplishing my dream with the help of my mentors, I really think that mentorship is critical to this journey so I hope to be a source of academic support, encouragement, and most importantly, a friend.
