5About Me
Hi! I’m Ting, currently in my fourth year of dental school at KCL. I’m fluent in English, Mandarin, Cantonese, and Malay, and I’ve got four years of teaching experience. Originally from Malaysia, I was offered one of ten international spots at KCL and one of three at Birmingham. Trinity College Dublin offered me a spot solely based on my CV and personal statement, bypassing the usual interview process. I’ve also had interviews with Manchester and Glasgow, so I’m familiar with their questioning styles.
As an ex-panelist for KCL MMI interview, I understand their academic and clinical expectations, as well as what they’re looking for in potential students. I have also participated in the UCAT SJT question selection process. My experience in dental school as well as my position as Vice Chair of Dental Council have equipped me with the right knowledge and skillset to guide you in your journey towards dental school!
My teaching style
I’ve taught a wide range of individuals, so am used to different learning styles. I tailor my approach based on your style and can cater to wide range of languages and abilities. I’m motivational, enthusiastic and approachable, and I can help you build on your existing knowledge and show you areas to work on.
My past experience
Yes, I’ve provided tutoring for interview prep, UCAT strategies, and 11+ entrance exams. Additionally, I’ve helped children improve their English skills.
My Proudest Achievements
I achieved a UCAT score of 3030/3600 – top 3% in the world and Band 1 Situational Judgement Test. I obtained 4A* for Cambridge A levels, averaging 97.25% across 3 Sciences and Math. I also achieved Top in the World (100%) for AS level Mathematics and IGCSE level Additional Mathematics, on top of scoring 10A* in IGCSE. I was top in cohort in dental school last year and was nominated for best clinical skills prize, so I know what they are looking for academically and clinically.
