Hi, I’m Saranya and I am currently in my final year of medical school at the University of Birmingham. Having gone through the medical school application process I can recall the struggles I faced without having a mentor to guide me through the process, and I wish to make this easier for those in the same position as I was.

I scored well in my aptitude tests (UCAT and BMAT) and was able to secure an interview at all of my chosen medical schools because of this. I remember feeling out of my depth as for the first time I had to practice for an exam that school had not prepared me for. Through the rigorous research and training I undertook, I came across some helpful resources as well as tips and tricks to ensure I was able to obtain the best marks I could, and I hope to pass this on to my students.

I recall how nervous I was about the interview stage as I had never done anything like this before, but now having been on the other side of the table as an interviewer at university, hopefully I can impart some wisdom on how best to tackle this stage.

At A-level I took Biology, Chemistry, Maths and Psychology and with a lot of hard work, was able to obtain an A* in all of my subjects. I remember how difficult the transition to A-level and independent learning was and how my grades initially took a drop as I tried to find my footing. I’m here to help ease this process and to try and get my students on the right track from day one.
