Shifa

An ambitious medical student with 9 A* at GCSE passionate about tutoring through my own past experiences. I have a passion to teach it not only helps to keep the knowledge ticking over my head but improve my explanation and communication skills both of which are crucial in a medical career. I am someone who likes to be well organised and productive with my time and having come from a state school with no extra help from teachers and being the first in the family going into medicine, I can relate to many students feeling lost and confused through this stressful process.
I will use previous experience and knowledge of medicine applications, in addition to the criteria sought out by medical schools for applicants, to govern the approach to lessons; medical schools look for hard-working, problem-solving and passionate applicants and I aim to help my tutees hone in these skills during lessons and apply them to the application, e.g. in reasoning sections of admission tests and difficult interview questions. I will provide admission advice, practice opportunities and mock interviews to my tutees.
