18About Me
Hi, I am June, an overseas student from South Korea studying medicine at UCL Medical School. I attended Harrow School for five years before applying to medical school in the UK. I also applied for Neuroscience in the US, accumulating over $400,000 in scholarship awards and receiving offers from Ivy League universities. My tutees have received offers from Harvard, Yale, and Imperial.
I chose to stay in the UK since I believe that medicine is a worthwhile career to pursue. My experiences with leading institutions (UCL, Cambridge, Yale, Brown) and their different admissions process have provided me with confidence in my ability to guide younger students through medicine applications which can often be convoluted, confusing, and unique.
I particularly understand the difficulties faced by overseas medical applicants who have to fight for severely limited places in medical school. I look forward to successfully guiding future tutees through the application process and showing that there is a light at the end of the road.
My teaching style
I formulate a skeletal “syllabus” for teaching A-level and GCSE classes when students bring specific topics they struggle with. Thus, we can spend more time enhancing our understanding of difficult topics.
Medicine interview sections take the form of a minimum of two hours of basic MMI, panel interview, and medical ethics classes before continuous practice questions.
I specialise in verbal reasoning and decision-making classes for UCAT – it is helpful if students bring a compilation of questions they got wrong to analyse their techniques before I provide input and practice questions.
My past experience
I have helped improve a tutee’s UCAT score from 2600 to 3100+ in four weeks of tutoring. I have tutored UCAT and medicine interview prep for a year now.
My Proudest Achievements
Gold in British Biology Olympiad and British Chemistry Olympiad.
Current employment as research intern at the Mayo Clinic.
