Science Tutors : 1-1 Science Preparation

Hi there. I’m a final year medical student at the University of Edinburgh. I’m really passionate about teaching and hope you’ll consider me as your tutor. I have over 250h of UCAT tutoring experience with MedicMind. I have previously successfully coached students through the medical school applications process, as well as having tutored Biology and public speaking/debating at both a high school and undergraduate level. I love helping others to develop their skills, as well as sharing my own knowledge and tips.

I applied to medical school in 2017 and received offers from Edinburgh, St Andrews, Glasgow and Aberdeen medical schools. I achieved a score of 3130 in my UKCAT (860 in QR; 800 in AR; 740 in VR; 730 in DM), placing me well into the top decile of my cohort. I have experience of tutoring for the UCAT and helping students prepare for interviews.

Academically, I have a broad range of interests having published research papers in both medical and humanities journals. In my third year, I undertook an intercalated degree in ‘Bioethics, Law and Social Science’, achieving First class honours and the prize for top results on the course. I’m now continuing on into my final year of Medicine after achieving a distinction for my performance in 5th year at Medical School.

Beyond academics, I also take part in competitive debate. I have previously represented Edinburgh at both the European University Debating Championships, where I reached the grand final, and the World University Debating Championships, where I reached the Octo-final. I coach the national Scottish schools debate team who, at this year’s World Schools Debating Championship, went on to finish 3rd in the world. In my spare time, I love to cook and enjoy good food, read lots of books, and enjoy the (very limited) sun up here in Scotland. I hope that you’ll consider me as your tutor!

Hi there, nice to meet you! My name is Ryan and I’m one of the tutors at Study Mind, who is, at the time of writing, a fourth year medical student. My motivation to work at Study Mind stems from my own personal experiences, in that I would not be where I am without the support that I had when I was applying, so being able to give students that opportunity is something that I would be most grateful to have! Outside of academia I have quite a number of interests that I am pursuing – including learning languages and running, and hopefully soon, learning to play the guitar! Reasons why you should have me as your tutor would be that I’m very focused and detail-oriented, but also someone who can quite relaxed, patient and adaptable. I hope that all of the above has convinced you to choose me as your tutor, and I would be very much honoured if you do so.

Hi! My name is Minhaj and I love tutoring. I am a recent graduate from the University of Cambridge with a master’s degree in engineering. I have quite a lot of experience when it comes to tutoring and mentoring students of all age groups in mainly STEM subjects. I have achieved 11A*s at GCSE and 4 A*s at A Level (in maths, further maths, physics and chemistry) so you can be confident in having me as your tutor for explaining even the most difficult content and helping you prepare well for exams!

My main academic interests lie within STEM areas, primarily maths and physics. This is why I chose to pursue engineering at university since it embodies both of these subjects with real-life applicable contexts. I did many super curricular activities throughout my academy journey including UKMT maths challenges (achieved GOLD twice) and attending the Isaac Physics Summer School at the University of Cambridge in Corpus Christi College (only 40 students were invited nationally).

I have experience in tutoring students from primary school all the way to students doing their A Levels (or equivalent). I also have experience in mentoring students for their university applications in STEM subjects including Oxbridge applicants. My primary area of focus for mentoring university applicants would be engineering applicants for Oxbridge & Imperial. But I am also looking to mentor students in other STEM areas such as physics, maths & computer science since the interviews and admissions test preparation often takes a similar journey. I am familiar with all the major UK STEM admissions test including the ESAT, ENGAA, NSAA, MAT, PAT and TMUA (I practised with these myself for my admissions test) so I would be willing to help students prepare for these. I currently mentor and tutor many students for STEM applications to top universities including Oxbridge and Imperial College London. I help students with all aspects of their application including helping with writing personal statements and preparing for admissions tests as well as interviews.

I am currently a Computer Science teacher at secondary school in London. I have an in MSc Physics from KCL with interests to pursue academia and research. Previously, I studied BSc Natural Sciences (specialising in Physics and Mathematics) at UCL. Coming from an interdisciplinary degree, I have been able to appreciate the interconnectedness of the varying sciences and mathematics. I have had tutoring experience with Medic Mind over the past 3 years, with a particular focus on teaching GCSE and A-Level Sciences and Mathematics. I aim to provide the quality of teaching tailored to a specific student, with an emphasis on their concerns and demands for their academic progress. My proficiency in the subjects I teach is also reflected in my completion of GCSE Sciences by Year 10. I have also co-edited tutorials and books for Medic Mind, and so I am equipped in teaching the content we deliver.
