About Me
Hi! My name is Rosa. I am a first year Graduate Entry Medicine student at St George’s University of London. I previously studied medical biochemistry Bsc(Hons) at Swansea University.
As I have recently gone through the medical school entry process, I am well versed in the current admissions process, including both panel and MMI interviews, as well as the UCAT and GAMSAT.
I am also eager to help students improve their academic abilities right from the 11+ admissions test, all the way through to GCSE and A-Level exams, ensuring that students have the confidence in both content and exam technique to answer exam questions to a high standard that will provide a solid basis for the admissions process.
Despite having a largely scientific background, I am also interested in the humanities, particularly English Literature and Spanish, and offering tutoring in these subjects up to A-Levels and GCSEs, respectively.
I greatly appreciate that medicine and medicine-related degrees require a level of social sciences and humanities awareness, both in terms of the academic demands of the courses and the nature of the patient contact that is essential to doing an excellent job in a medical and healthcare-allied professional degree. I know that it can be quite daunting, particularly for those from humanity backgrounds to embark on the medical admissions process, and aim to make my lessons adaptable for those of all educational backgrounds wishing to apply.
My teaching style
My teaching style will involve building strategies to confidently approach interviews, such as how to hold yourself in an interview room and make a good impression, and in exam technique, such as timing for the UCAT and GAMSAT.
I will focus on practice questions for the different style questions that prospective students may face in interviews, simulating timed mock interviews to give you a realistic experience of the process, as well as giving thorough feedback on interview answers.
I will also focus on practice questions UCAT, GAMSAT, A-Level and GCSE and 11+ based questions, providing detailed feedback and helping students to improve their exam technique, such as timing and structure of examination questions.
My past experience
I have previously tutored Biology and English Literature to GCSE and A-Level students, and have also successfully assisted prospective medical students with interview practice.
My Proudest Achievements
Receiving 2 unconditional offers to study Graduate Entry Medicine at Swansea University and St George’s University of London. This is especially because Graduate Entry Medicine (and the GAMSAT required for both of these universities) is an incredibly competitive process.
