101About Me
Hello, I’m Talhah Bin-Islam—a highly driven biomedical science graduate preparing to begin Graduate Entry Medicine at the University of Nottingham. I am deeply passionate about education, academic excellence, and mentoring the next generation of achievers. I have extensive tutoring experience across a wide range of subjects, supporting students from 11+, KS2, KS3, GCSE, A-Level, and beyond. I also specialize in university preparation, including medical school applications at both undergraduate and graduate levels.
My approach is not just about delivering knowledge but building strategic thinking, resilience, and long-term success. I believe in creating high-impact results by tailoring learning to each student’s aspirations. With a strong foundation in medicine, education, and personal development, I bring energy, precision, and ambition to every session. I am committed to helping every student unlock their full potential and push beyond what they believe is possible.
My teaching style
My teaching style is results-driven, adaptive, and mentorship-focused. I tailor every session to each student’s needs, building deep understanding, exam technique, and long-term confidence. I challenge students to think critically, develop resilience, and approach learning strategically. I create a motivating environment where high performance becomes a habit, not a goal. Every lesson is structured, clear, and designed to push students beyond their limits while keeping them supported and empowered.
My past experience
Yes, I have extensive experience tutoring students across 11+, KS2, KS3, GCSE, A-Level, and university preparation, including medical school applications. Over the years, I have helped students achieve top grades, secure university offers, and build long-term academic confidence. My experience spans a wide range of subjects, allowing me to adapt my teaching to different needs, abilities, and goals. I am passionate about not just teaching but mentoring students to excel beyond academics and develop strategic, resilient mindsets.
My Proudest Achievements
Achieving First Class Honours in Biomedical Science, securing Graduate Entry Medicine at Nottingham, building a proven tutoring record across all levels, and mentoring students toward top academic and personal success through resilience, leadership, and strategic growth.
