Study Skills Tutors : 1-1 Study Skills Preparation

My name is Silas and I am a newly qualified Resident Doctor following the completion of my Medical Degree at the University of Sheffield. I graduated with honours and received the Mark Gregory Baker as the top student in my year.

Prior to studying Medicine, I gained a First Class Degree in Political Science and International Relations at the University of Birmingham; my degree allowed me to apply to Undergraduate Medicine as a graduate. I can offer a unique perspective for students looking for alternate routes into Medicine and on the importance placed on varied interests by Medical Schools across the country.

As a Sheffield Medical student, I am the President of the Sheffield Emergency Medicine Society and am a member of medical societies such as Sheffield Friends of MSF and Wilderness Medicine. I am also a Community First Responder which involves responding to emergencies in the area with lifesaving equipment before the ambulance arrives. My specific areas of interest within Medicine are: Emergency Medicine, Wilderness Medicine, Pre-Hospital Medicine, Humanitarian Medicine, and Disaster Medicine.

In terms of the city of Sheffield, I was born and raised here therefore I feel that I can answer any questions that students have about the city, the lifestyle, and the surrounding area which I know is a point of emphasis from Sheffield during the interview process.

Overall, I am a patient and understanding tutor who can offer you my personal experience of the application process and as a current medical student and I feel that I can help you achieve your potential.

In terms of German, I have a Goethe Institut B2 Certificate and have been doing German for 7 years including a 1 month Medical Placement at a German hospital

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!

Hi there!

My name is Stefan, and I am a (very) recent Law graduate from the University of Oxford.

The more recent part of my academic journey began at the age of 13, when I left my home country of Bulgaria in order to study independently in the UK. I ended up boarding as an international student at Ardingly College – a relatively small school in West Sussex – where I attained 9 IGCSEs at grade 9, an academic scholarship in Philosophy and Mathematics, and – ultimately – 44 points in the IB Diploma.

Following Ardingly, I went on to read Law at Trinity College, Oxford, where I held a Mowat Exhibition and Mowat Scholarship. I achieved a Distinction in my first-year Law Moderations, oversaw the Trinity College Law Society as Co-President during my second year, and graduated from the University with a First Class Honours.

While studying for my undergraduate degree, I was able to secure three Vacation Schemes at top-ranking commercial law firms in London, one of which I have now accepted a Training Contract with. Prior to its commencement, I will be studying for the SQE, as well as a Master’s in Law, at the University of Law.

As to my extracurriculars, I am an avid debater and public speaker. At Ardingly, I won the school’s Interhouse Debating Competition twice, participated in multiple MUNs, and reached the regional finals of the ESU Schools’ Mace competition. I also achieved a Distinction in my LAMDA Grade 8 Public Speaking Examinations and delivered various speeches around the college. Prior to my studies in the UK, I won a CEESA Speech and Debate tournament with a speech on ‘The Peril of Popularity’, which I later delivered as a TEDx talk.

Alongside debating and public speaking, I have also always had a strong passion for essay-writing: at Ardingly, I won the school’s Scholars’ Essay Competition (with an 8,000-word submission on Art History and Aesthetics); was Highly Commended in the NCH Law Essay Competition; and was Commended in the John Locke Institute Law Essay Competition.

In my free time, I enjoy weight training, playing the piano, and writing poetry. I also have a strong background in breakdancing and callisthenics, both of which I used to train in Bulgaria. I enjoy golfing in the summer, and skiing in the winter.

I’m Lara, a Master’s-qualified midwife and current GEM student. I scored in the top 10% in VR and DM in the UCAT and have served as a trained MMI assessor, giving me direct insight into how MMIs work. I come from a non-traditional background and understand how powerful a “different” profile can be when it is presented with confidence. I support students across the medical school application process, UCAT, MMI interviews, personal statements, and application strategy. With experience teaching university-level students and professional education, my approach is structured and supportive. I’ll help you think clearly, communicate confidently, and perform under pressure. The UCAT is a skills-based and interviews are about structured reflection. Once you understand the logic behind both, the process becomes far easier.

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.

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.

Hi my name is Nadia and I am a medical student at Brighton and Sussex Medical School (BSMS). I am currently intercalating at Imperial College London studying Surgical Design, Technology, and Innovation.

I have been a university student for the past seven years, so I understand how stressful and challenging exams can be. I aim to create an environment where you feel comfortable to learn and work towards your goals. My approach is to adapt the learning style to the student to optimize their understanding and performance.

In terms of my academic background, I have experience with studying A-levels (biology, chemistry and physics), an undergraduate degree and masters (Biomedical Science BSc (Hons) and MSc).

Outside of medicine, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends. I also volunteer within the community as a first aider with St John’s ambulance. Alongside medical school, I also work as a phlebotomist.

Whatever your aspirations, I look forward to working with you to help make them a reality!
