44About Me
Hi, I’m a Cardiff University medical student offering tutoring to help students excel in their studies. I have experience tutoring young children in Mathematics and English, ensuring they build strong foundations in key subjects. I have also successfully coached students for MMI medical school interviews, with many securing offers. Having worked with both established organisations and private candidates, I tailor my teaching approach to each student’s needs, making lessons engaging, structured, and easy to follow.
As an international student, I understand the challenges of adapting to new learning environments and effective study techniques. My goal is to help students not just improve academically, but also build confidence in their abilities. I offer flexible scheduling and a supportive approach to learning. I look forward to working with you to achieve your goals!

My teaching style
My teaching style is structured but flexible, adapting to each student’s needs. I break down difficult topics into simple, clear steps, making sure they actually understand rather than just memorise. I keep lessons interactive and encourage questions, creating a comfortable environment where students can learn at their own pace. I also use real-life examples to make concepts more relatable and focus on building confidence so they feel more independent in their learning.
My past experience
I have extensive tutoring experience across different subjects and age groups. I have successfully helped several students prepare for their MMI medical school interviews, with many receiving offers. This has involved working with both established organisations and private candidates, equipping students with the skills and confidence needed to perform well under pressure. In addition to medical interview coaching, I have also tutored young children in Mathematics and English, focusing on building strong foundational skills through clear explanations and engaging learning methods. My experience across different levels of education has allowed me to develop a flexible and personalised teaching approach that adapts to each student’s needs.
My Proudest Achievements
One of my proudest achievements is getting into medical school as an international student. The process required strong academic performance, resilience, and adaptability. I had to navigate competitive entry requirements, admissions tests, and MMI interviews while adjusting to a new education system that was returning to its competitiveness and vigour as seen pre-COVID. Balancing academics with extracurriculars and leadership roles strengthened my time management and problem-solving skills. This experience has made me more independent, determined, and adaptable in new environments.
