About Me
My name is Hector Sinclair, and I am a second-year medical student at Swansea University, where I secured a place on the highly competitive Graduate Entry Medicine (GEM) programme. I graduated from The University of Sydney with a Bachelor of Science and Bachelor of Advanced Studies (Medical Science), achieving a distinction average. I know first-hand how daunting the journey to medical school can be, from perfecting personal statements to conquering the GAMSAT and excelling in medical interviews.
I have extensive experience teaching and mentoring students, currently working as a Senior Teaching Assistant in Anatomy at Swansea University. In this role, I lead engaging sessions for undergraduates and postgraduates, helping them grasp complex concepts and build confidence. Beyond my university role, I have provided tailored academic support through a private tutoring company, specialising in essay proofreading and personal statement coaching.
As a Swansea University Graduate Entry Medicine interview panellist, I understand what interviewers are looking for, and I am eager to share this insight to help you succeed. I am driven to make the process of tutoring and helping students reach their goals as accessible and stress-free as possible, building their confidence along the way.
