SAT (US College Admissions) Tutors : 1-1 SAT (US College Admissions) Preparation

Hi, my name is Joanna, and I am currently a General Practice Trainee with a strong passion for teaching, mentoring, and supporting aspiring medical students. I am also a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA), reflecting my commitment to high-quality teaching and creating effective, student-centred learning environments.

The road to medicine can be long and challenging, but you don’t have to navigate it alone. Having gone through the journey myself, I aim to pass on the knowledge, strategies, and experience I have gained over the years. My goal is not only to help you succeed in the medical school application process, but also to help you develop the resilience, confidence, and long-term skills that will support you throughout medical school and beyond.

I teach UCAT, helping students develop effective approaches to each section of the exam, improve their timing and accuracy, and build the stamina needed to perform confidently under pressure. Rather than relying solely on shortcuts, I focus on helping students understand how they think, identify areas for improvement, and develop strategies that work for them.

Beyond medicine, I have a passion for languages and take great pride in being able to communicate in several languages. I also teach IELTS and have helped many students achieve scores higher than they initially aspired to.

My experience as an FHEA has further strengthened my approach to education, allowing me to apply evidence-based teaching methods and adapt sessions to different learning styles. I aim to make learning engaging, structured, and personalised, while encouraging students to become confident and independent learners.

I hope you’re ready to embark on this journey together. Come to each session eager to learn, and leave feeling more confident, motivated, and inspired to keep improving 🙂

My name is Tejal Paliya, and I am a First Class MEng + BA in Chemical Engineering from the University of Cambridge. Alongside my academic pursuits, I have developed a strong passion for education and have accumulated extensive experience in tutoring and mentoring students across various age groups. Over the past few years, I have provided private tutoring in STEM subjects, assisting students in enhancing their understanding and academic performance. Additionally, I have guided prospective university applicants through mock interviews and exam preparation, helping them navigate the competitive admissions process. My role as an Engineering and AI mentor on a summer programme involved supervising students aged 13–15, supporting them with their projects, and ensuring they had a positive and enriching learning experience.

Hello! I’m Andrew, a third year psychology student at UNSW and soon to be med-student at the University of Sydney here in Australia.
For the past 6 years I have been building up knowledge and experience of admissions tests, starting from 10th grade where I sat the ACT a year early and scored in the 99th percentile. For me, it took several months of dedicated solo study, but now I’m hoping to provide you with the most high-yield insights I’ve gained on this journey so far and help you reach your goals faster than I could’ve on my own.
I’m originally from America where I studied for and sat the ACT and SAT. Now, living in Australia I’ve sat the GAMSAT for prospective med students and again scored in the 99th percentile.
The biggest thing I have gained over these last 6 years has been my ability to apply principles from my studies in psychology across 3 domains: How to learn, how to teach, and how these exams are designed as psychometrics (and how they can be beaten).
