About Me
Hi! I am a 3rd-year vet student at the RVC, and I would love to help you get into your dream university as!
I am originally from Romania, having moved here just before starting my degree.
My area of expertise is helping European students come to study veterinary medicine in the UK, but I am more than happy to prepare anyone for their interviews.
I am familiar with various European high school systems, so I can help with demystifying the process of converting your studies and grades to the entry requirements of British universities. I also know the struggle of having to perform well in interviews in a different language, so if you want to expand your veterinary vocabulary in English, I am your person. I have targeted interview models that I use with my students to improve confidence, vocabulary, fluency, and, most importantly, increase chances of getting into vet school. The longer we have to prepare for the interviews, the higher your success rate will be!
Last but not least, I can help with writing your essays and organising your UCAS application, if that is something you are struggling with.
I hope we will make a great team, and I can’t wait to meet you!
My teaching style
I spend one hour with the student per week.
First 20 minutes = answering questions about the university, helping decide which university is the best choice, sharing my experience, checking the application process, etc.
25 minutes = interview prep and conversations that prompt reflection on events from the work experience weeks
last 5 minutes = feedback and homework
The parent will be provided with a minute sheet of the end of each session.
My past experience
Yes, I have been tutoring students privately for two years now.
