12About Me
I am a current Graduate medic at St. Georges London. I am now in my penultimate year and a highlight for me was achieving 82% in my OSCE last year. I work part time alongside my studies, on the pitch at Tottenham Hotspur Football club as a groundsman and in Cardiology at a London hospital where I assist in the aortic valve and structural heart clinic. I thoroughly enjoy this as it allows me to gain insight into my future career as a Doctor. My previous degree was at Cardiff University where I was awarded a 2:1 in an integrated Masters of Chemistry (Hons) degree. I achieved 68% in my masters project based on the drug delivery capabilities of a metal organic hybrid framework. In my spare time I like to explore the different restaurants in London, catch up with friends and play football. I also enjoy skiing where I have competed in national competitions.
My teaching style
I think the best way of learning is to gain a sound understanding of the material followed by questions after questions after questions. This allows you to get used to the questioning style before you sit the exam. I also like to revisit previous topics with mini tests to promote long term learning retention
My past experience
I have tutored numerous students for the GAMSAT exam before and helped several students gain places at medical schools. In the most recent application cycle 100% of my students got interviews and almost all got at least one offer if not more.
My Proudest Achievements
One of my proudest achievements was my result in the OSCE this academic year. I achieved 82% overall with 98%, 96% and 94% in three of the stations.
