About Me
Hi, my name is John and I’d love to help you achieve your goals of getting into medical school! The journey of getting into university is a difficult and frustrating one that comes with a lot of ups and downs. Opportunities like the UCAT and the interview are fantastic ways to stand out from the rest of the applicants. I’d like to do whatever I can to help you do this.
I’m currently in my final year at the University of East Anglia studying medicine, and have achieved top marks in my exams (so far!). I started working for Medic Mind in the summer of 2020 as I wanted to give back and share my expertise and experiences with budding student doctors. I myself attended courses on the UCAT and interview, and I know how valuable it can be to have someone guide you through the content of those examinations.
I’ve worked over 1000 hours for Medic Mind so far and have had fantastic feedback from my students. I have experience in helping students with the UCAT, personal statements and interviews. I take great pleasure in helping other people succeed and I hope I can do the same for you!
My teaching style
I separate my teaching into 2 phases: content and exam technique. You can’t succeed in the UCAT/interview with just one of these things. At the start, we will focus on content, and make sure that you understand what kind of questions you can be asked, how they are asked and how to answer them. From there, we will work to refine your exam technique, so that you can answer those questions in a suitable amount of time. I tailor my lessons to the student’s strengths and weaknesses while making sure to go at their pace
My past experience
I have previous experience tutoring A Level Chemistry, as well as GCSE Biology
My Proudest Achievements
Getting a high percentage of students into their chosen medical schools through UCAT and Interview tutoring
Achieving a top 5% in the country UCAT score
Getting top marks on my medical school exams (so far!)
