Hello! I’m Tan and I am a second year medical student at Newcastle University. Medicine is without doubt a difficult course to get into, and there are a lot of hurdles even before the interview process from UCAT to academics and even work experience before even arriving to an interview. As for each of these hurdles, they can all be quite daunting which is where my role comes in as a tutor, having gone through this whole applying and preparing for medicine process, I am able to advise and help students throughout their admissions process from UCAT, personal statement checks, EPQ and Interviews.

At the end of the day, you just need to understand how the system works and how you can adapt your skills accordingly. My job as a tutor of medic mind is to ensure that you develop those skills and the knowledge to tackle your future hurdles.

I know every tutor will tell you to relax, but the one tip that worked for me and for several students, is make sure you enjoy the process. As much as it is important to be relaxed, the student’s who I’ve seen perform well are those who were excited and extremely enthusiastic about the interview and actually ended up enjoying the process.
