6About Me
Hi! My name is Basma, and I’m a Graduate Entry Medicine student. Having personally experienced the challenges of the medical school application process, I understand how overwhelming interviews can feel and know exactly what selectors are looking for.
My background includes extensive experience in healthcare. I’ve worked as a Healthcare Assistant and Ward Hostess in leading London hospitals, volunteered in a hospice in Italy, and supported patients across a variety of clinical settings. These experiences have strengthened my communication, empathy, and professionalism, all key traits tested in MMIs and panel interviews.
As your tutor, I’ll focus on helping you structure your answers confidently, develop strong insight into healthcare values, and refine your delivery to sound authentic and professional. I tailor each session to your strengths and weaknesses, ensuring you feel fully prepared and self assured on the interview day 🙂
My teaching style
My teaching style is highly interactive and personalised. I focus on identifying each student’s strengths and weaknesses to help them improve efficiently. I use real MMI and panel style practice questions, detailed feedback, and structured frameworks to build confidence and fluency. I encourage students to think critically, reflect on their experiences, and express their motivations authentically, ensuring their answers stand out for clarity, empathy, and depth.
My past experience
-President of MeDeVet society at my previous university, organised and led workshops to help aspiring medical, dental, and veterinary students strengthen their applications and interview skills.
-Volunteered in an asylum seeker’s centre where I aided children with learning a new language and integrating a new schooling system
My Proudest Achievements
One of my proudest achievements is the visible positive impact I’ve made on the people around me. Whether through my work in healthcare, leadership roles, or mentoring others, I’ve always been recognised for my ability to inspire, support, and bring out the best in those I work with. This is a quality that people consistently highlight about me and one I take great pride in.
