19About Me
I’m a friendly and patient medical student with a strong academic background in Maths, Biology, Chemistry, and Physics. I specialise in UCAT preparation, helping students understand each section—especially Abstract Reasoning and Quantitative Reasoning, where I scored in the top 10% and top 5% respectively.
Having recently been through the process myself, I can offer comprehensive support for medical school applications, including help with personal statements, interview preparation (MMIs), and understanding what admissions tutors are really looking for.
I’m familiar with major UK and Scottish exam boards (SQA, AQA, Edexcel, OCR) and have tutored students from KS3 to A-level and National 5 to Advanced Higher. My approach is supportive and adaptable—whether you’re aiming for top scores or just need help getting through the UCAT, I’ll guide you step-by-step.
If you’re looking for structured, high-impact prep with someone who’s been through it and succeeded, I’d love to help you get there too!
My teaching style
I break down UCAT strategies into simple, logical steps tailored to each student’s pace and learning style. Lessons focus on active recall, timed practice, and exam-style questions to build speed, accuracy, and confidence under pressure. I also teach how to manage timing effectively and stay calm during high-stress exam situations.
