19About Me
Hi! My name is Diane and I’m a graduate entry medicine student at Barts and the London.
During my time in school, I achieved 12 9/A* grades and went on to get my A-Levels, achieving A*A*A in Biology, English Literature and Chemistry. I have since gone on to study psychology and graduate entry medicine, for which I completed the UCAT (and achieved a first decile score of 2980) and BMAT. In my time at university I have gone on to win competitive essay prizes.
During my time at university I have worked as a tutor to share my knowledge and understanding with younger students. I’ve been tutoring for the last 9 years and have taught a really wide range of students, from the age of 5/6 all the way through to university admissions preparation. Having gone through the university admissions process myself (including the interview process!) and guided others through it, I have a refined understanding of what universities and medical schools are looking for, and would love to help you make your application that much more competitive.
I look forward to hearing from you!
My teaching style
I try to tailor my teaching style to the student who is in front of me – I know all different students learn and engage in different ways, particularly students of different ages.
I try to work out what the student is aiming to achieve in our time together, and whether they are proactive in bringing things that they would like to discuss or whether they need a bit more guidance from me, and we can go from there.
My past experience
I’ve been tutoring for the last 9 years – I used to work as an assistant tutor with an 11+ tuition preparation organisation, and have spent 6 of those 9 years working as a private tutor through word of mouth connections.
I have taught Maths and English Literature at all levels, and have also coached A-Level students through their university admissions processes.
My Proudest Achievements
I achieved a very high score in my UCAT entrance exam, and was given a place on the incredibly competitive graduate entry medicine course at Barts. Since attending medical school, I have been awarded prizes for the essays that I have written.
