Katie
About Me
Hi, my name is Katie and I am a medical student at the University of Liverpool. I am currently intercalating between years 3 and 4 doing an MRes in Clinical Sciences. I have particular interests in Sports Medicine and Orthopaedics, and the research I am doing during my MRes is focusing on the importance of exercise in the elderly and post operative exercise.
A bit about me – In my free time I love to be active! I dance, play hockey, go to the gym, go for hikes (when I am near mountains) and am currently training for a half marathon. I have been President of The Medical Students’ Performing Arts Society, and am currently trying to reinstate the Sport and Exercise Medicine Society here at the University. I also love to cook and bake, especially lemon drizzle!
Current school students – At A Level, I acheived Grade A in Maths, Chemistry and Biology and a Distinction* in Level 3 Performing Arts. At GSCE I achieved 9s in Maths, Biology, Chemistry, History and English Language, 8s in Physics, Drama, English Literature and Spanish, and Distinction*s in (Level 2) Sport and Creative Digital Media.
I am confident in tutoring at GCSE Level and below in Maths, Biology, Chemistry, Sport/PE and medical related subjects (Biomedicine, biochemistry etc). If your subject is not listed here but you are interested in my tutoring, please just drop me a message and we can work something out 🙂
Medicine Applicants – For the future medical students here, I would love to help you get into this fantastic degree. After not doing too well in my UCAT and being rejected by 2 universities as a result, I really struggled with my confidence. However, both Universities I attended for interview gave me offers! I am available for interview preparation and advice on your application to Medicine (both interviews I attended were MMIs, however, I can help to prepare for other styles too).
Current Medical Students – For current medical/ medical sciences students, I am currently between Years 3 and 4 of my MBChB having passed my Sequence 1 of all 3 years for both the written and clinical examinations (The University of Liverpool have a sequence system for exams. If you do well enough in the 1st Sequence, you are exempt from having to sit a 2nd set of examinations). I am available for tutoring in all Medical Subjects I have currently covered. Please message me before booking to ensure I have covered your desired topics within my years 1-3 Curriculum.
My teaching style
I have quite a relaxed teaching style, using discussions to promote thinking around subjects, then consolidating this with a relevant tool e.g. practice questions, mini test, active recall. I am also personally a visual learner, so like to use visual aids when I am teaching. I also like to use things like anecdotes and anacronyms for helping with memory and recall of information.
My past experience
I have delivered some teaching sessions to colleagues of mine at Medical School. I also have a younger brother who is currently in his final GCSE year and have helped him when I have been home.
I coached Junior Level hockey for 3 years and have led dancing lessons.
My Proudest Achievements
In the academic year 2022-23, I was the President and Dance Director of a Performing Arts Society. Throughout this role there were lots of proud moments, however, the proudest one would be the musical that I directed and choreographed. Watching all of the hard work come together from the tech box was just incredible.
