Dorothea
About Me
Hi, I am Dorothea a 4th year Medical Student at Oxford. I am originally from Germany and thus have a variety of experience with the highly competitive Oxbridge admissions process coming from a different country as well. I have received a first class degree in my BA and been involved in various student societies including as Captain of our College Boat Club, on College Ball Committee, and as a member of Oxford University Boat Club. I have always enjoyed making the most of university and what it has to offer by maximising my time through effective time management so that I could engage in extracurricular activities and spend time with friends, while excelling in my degree. I am a very outgoing and friendly person and would be more than happy to provide help with how to write a competitive application, speak confidently in interviews, excel in admissions tests, and navigate the complex College system at Oxford and Cambridge so you can make the most of your future time here!
My teaching style
I believe teaching should be a collaborative effort and as fun for the student and tutor as possible. I recommend scheduling tutorials 1-2 times a week to review important topics, clarify questions, practice interviews, and build confidence.
My past experience
I have tutored various science subjects (mainly Maths and Chemistry) at A-level equivalent and helped four students with their Oxbridge applications in the past, three of which received an offer (two in medicine, one in PPE).
My Proudest Achievements
Receiving a distinction in my 2nd year of medicine, while being Captain of Worcester College Boat Club and organising Food for the Worcester College Commemoration Ball, and representing the University of Oxford in the 2024 Spares Boat Race against Cambridge, while completing my Bachelor’s degree in Medical Sciences for which I received a 1st class.
