Trisha

I am a medical student at the University of Edinburgh with a genuine passion for helping students build confidence in their learning. I am friendly, approachable and patient, and I enjoy working with students to help them understand difficult topics in a clear and manageable way.
Academically, I achieved all 9s at GCSE, all As in Scottish Highers and Advanced Highers, was awarded an Arkwright Engineering Scholarship, and received offers from all four medical schools I applied to.
I believe every student learns differently, so I adapt my teaching style to suit each individual, whether that means breaking concepts down step by step, using diagrams, practising exam questions, or focusing on revision techniques and confidence-building. I also think it is really important to understand what you are learning, rather than simply memorising it, as this helps with long-term memory and confidence in applying knowledge.
Having gone through the school exam system and medical school application process myself, I understand how stressful it can feel. My aim is to create a supportive learning environment where students feel comfortable asking questions, making mistakes and improving at their own pace. I am happy to help with subject knowledge, exam preparation, study skills, and guidance for students applying to medicine or those with an interest in science more generally.
