I am a hardworking medical student who has been able to balance academics, extracurriculars and personal interests throughout school and now into adulthood. Though my journey hasn’t been straightforward, I made sure to use my experiences to learn about the world and become a better person for my future as a doctor. I believe this rounded approach is what made me a successful candidate for various medical schools, aside from my credentials.

I have an analytic brain and enjoy all types of problem solving from algebra to Shakespeare, I have been able to teach other students how to do this and more importantly to enjoy and understand it. Having a wide range of subjects I liked at school enabled me to apply skills from these different areas to enhance my learning. I used my knowledge of algebra and sequencing to get 100% in my GCSE Computer Science coursework and thrive in this unknown territory. I went on to achieve an award in this subject for two consecutive years and tutored others in my class.

I can recognise individual needs of students and adapt lessons for their specific subjects and learning styles. It wasn’t until I found a book I loved did I begin to understand aspects of English Literature however my sister is a visual learner and so creating storyboards and mind maps is what worked for her. I know each person is unique and tutoring should be no different. Building a good relationship is key for this and allows greater understanding of the students requirements as well as their greatest concerns which I can help to address.
