Science Tutors : 1-1 Science Preparation

My name is Abena and I’m a 5th year medical student at the University of Oxford. As well as spending a large amount of time on my academic career, I have also dedicated myself to my tutoring ability with over 6 years of tutoring experience. Through my years of experience I have been able to improve my teaching skills and encounter a number of ways to assist a student in the their chosen subject allowing me to tailor sessions for the student in front of me. Furthermore, I’m a friendly, enthusiastic tutor, who enjoys helping students achieve their academic goals with discipline and consistency. Education has always been a huge priority in my life and I’ve had teachers whom have helped me immensley with my motivation and performance, something I hope to pass on to my future students.

Apart from tutoring, I enjoy cheerleading for my university, I’m also president of two societies Oxford Black Medics Society and learn Spanish in my free time.

Fun fact: My name means I was born on a Tuesday.

Hi there! My name is Hafsa and I’m a dentist graduated from The University of Manchester in 2024. After successfuly receiving interviews at all 3 dental schools I applied to, and receiving offers from 2 of them I have a lot of experience I can share to complete a successful and eye-catching application.The personal statement being what sells you on paper and your personal traits being what sells you at your interview. There is so much that is being considered. After experiencing both panel and MMI interviews I have lots of key tips and advice I wish someone told me when I was applying. From volunteering, to personal statements to interview tricks, I can be your support throughout the process. I am on this platform to help increase the number of successful applicants – you could be one of them! 🙂

Hi there! My name is Isabella and I am a masters student studying marine biology at the University of St. Andrews. Having always had an affinity for the ocean, I began working towards my goal of being a marine biologist from an early age. I now specialise in the study of deep-sea corals and their possible future application in pharmaceutical drugs. Having worked in an academic environment as a research assistant I know that my particular field is one that is always evolving, with new research being published every day, keeping the subject fresh and exciting

During my three years of tutoring and classroom teaching I have found that the enthusiasm I bring to learning leads to curiosity, which in turn leads to positive habits of pursing knowledge and challenges the mindset that studying is a chore. My goals include creating an environment in which the tutee is able to communicate their problem areas with ease and also encouraging self-learning by giving students opportunities to work through problems themselves once familiar with the subject matter.

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! I’m Mieszko.

I was successful in an application to study Computer Science at Oxford, while helping to lead a twice-a-week 2 hour long mentoring sessions, tutoring 3 other students with their admissions tests. One of these got an interview at Oxford, another got into Oxford, and a third was successful in applying to Cambridge.

Since then, I’ve completed 2 years in Oxford (after an early transfer to a joint honours Maths and Computer Science course). In my most recent exams, I achieved the equivalent of a first class – “the equivalent of” because the actual results combine both this year, and the next one.

Outside college, I do a decent amount of sports, including hiking, squash and judo, though recently I’ve been quite into pool. I play piano, watch a fair amount of TV and read a fair amount of books – recently both have been “This Is Going To Hurt – Diaries of a Junior Doctor”.

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.
