About Me

Hello Tutees! I’m Shaun, a 5th year medical student at Magdalene College, the University of Cambridge and I’m have an interest in surgery as well as neuroscience and molecular biology. I also intercalated in psychology in my 3rd year. I’m a fun, friendly and approachable tutor who’s really excited to help you all reach you’re, very achievable, goals!
I come from a town in Yorkshire where I went to an underperforming state comprehensive, no-one from my school had ever even applied for anywhere like Cambridge for medicine, me being here today is a testament to the additional time and effort I had to put in to my university application and A-levels. All that stress and work is handy though, I know an awful lot about university applications for medicine, to Cambridge and Oxford, as well as for general applications across the board. I achieved offers from everywhere I interviewed at (I withdrew from one of my options) so I can really be a good help for interview skills. I also achieved some of my schools best ever A-levels and even nabbed some golds in subject olympiads.
What can I do for you?

My teaching style

I alter my teaching style based on the tutee, however I do generally base my tutoring around asking questions. This is how teaching at a place like Cambridge is delivered and it pushes you to think in ways you probably wouldn’t have expected you could. When necessary I use alternative perspectives to phrase my explanations to find something that sticks for the tutee.

My past experience

I’ve tutored a number of students through year-12 age mentoring scheme for oxbridge applications, where I have been successful in getting offers.
I also did a lot of teaching for younger students in my school: this includes GCSE science and maths tutoring, whole year assemblies and first aid classes.
I’ve been a tutor at MedicMind for a number of years now leading students through successful medical applications and exam seasons.

My Proudest Achievements

Getting my spot at university is really going to have to be up there. I am also extremely proud of my gold award in the Chemistry Olympiad 2019 – the first in my school to achieve this.
