Sonali

Welcome to my page! My name is Sonali, and I am a second year medical student at the University of Cambridge.

Having understood from first-hand experience how challenging sixth form – more specifically, the preparation for life beyond it – can be, I’m passionate about helping students set out clear academic goals and break them down into achievable methodologies that will maximise both their potential and success in upcoming exams and applications.

In particular, I specialise in A-Level Biology tutoring and all aspects of the Medicine application journey. During this time, I achieved four A*s at A-Level (Biology, Chemistry, Maths and Physics), a UCAT score in the top 1% (3290 B1) and four Medicine offers from Cambridge, Imperial College London, Edinburgh and King’s College London. Through my tutoring, I can provide support in A-Level content explanations and exam preparation, UCAT strategies, UCAS personal statement guidance and interview preparation (including Oxbridge), sharing my knowledge and skills to help students excel in these areas.

Our sessions will focus on enhancing problem-solving skills and learning content strategically to maximise both memorisation and comprehension of the information. These skills form the core of what Medicine is, and is consequently what is assessed throughout the application process, whether it be through academic performance, admission tests, or interviews. However, equally important (yet often overlooked) is mindset – this is something that forms the absolute foundation for setting out all discussed, and honing the correct frame of mind to approach this challenging period is something that I help to address.

Though the transition from school life to something thrilling yet unknown is undoubtedly a confusing and overwhelming experience, my shared and recent experience of the journey allows me to provide specific and tailored guidance to build the confidence, enthusiasm and aptitude that will prove indispensable for the exciting years to come.
