UCAS Tutors : 1-1 UCAS Preparation

My name is Silas and I am a newly qualified Resident Doctor following the completion of my Medical Degree at the University of Sheffield. I graduated with honours and received the Mark Gregory Baker as the top student in my year.

Prior to studying Medicine, I gained a First Class Degree in Political Science and International Relations at the University of Birmingham; my degree allowed me to apply to Undergraduate Medicine as a graduate. I can offer a unique perspective for students looking for alternate routes into Medicine and on the importance placed on varied interests by Medical Schools across the country.

As a Sheffield Medical student, I am the President of the Sheffield Emergency Medicine Society and am a member of medical societies such as Sheffield Friends of MSF and Wilderness Medicine. I am also a Community First Responder which involves responding to emergencies in the area with lifesaving equipment before the ambulance arrives. My specific areas of interest within Medicine are: Emergency Medicine, Wilderness Medicine, Pre-Hospital Medicine, Humanitarian Medicine, and Disaster Medicine.

In terms of the city of Sheffield, I was born and raised here therefore I feel that I can answer any questions that students have about the city, the lifestyle, and the surrounding area which I know is a point of emphasis from Sheffield during the interview process.

Overall, I am a patient and understanding tutor who can offer you my personal experience of the application process and as a current medical student and I feel that I can help you achieve your potential.

In terms of German, I have a Goethe Institut B2 Certificate and have been doing German for 7 years including a 1 month Medical Placement at a German hospital

Hi there! My name is Grace. In 2023, I finished a French Literature MSt at Keble College, Oxford, for which I received a Distinction. I also completed a History and French BA for my undergraduate at Somerville College, Oxford and got a First Class. I’ve been tutoring for seven years now so I have lots of experience, and I really enjoy being able to help students wherever I can. Throughout my time in education, I always put my academic studies first, and I know how important it is to do your best in exams; I find it extremely rewarding when I can help students to achieve this. Having got all A*s in GCSE and A-Level, and successfully passed through Oxford’s rigorous admissions process, I know first-hand what is required to do well at all of these stages. I also really enjoy teaching students and hope that my enthusiasm will make their sessions enjoyable!

I am safeguarding trained.

Hi there, my name is Hammad. I’m a Final year medic at Hull York Medical School (HYMS). I came across this opportunity from Medic Mind to get into teaching, something very much needed as a surgeon or doctor in general.
Due to being a high performer throughout my science subjects from highschool right through to university, I have taught a lot of my peers informally during class or outside of it. I feel I have a rather unique teaching style, using analogies and getting students to explain what they’ve learned or know already back to me, essentially incorporating my learning style (The Feynman Technique) into how I teach. Its lead to quite a high satisfaction rate among my peers and even patients, with my peers coming back whenever they don’t understand topics, recommending me to friends and even some recommendations by peers to go into formal teaching in the future, so I thought, why not put it to good use and get into tutoring.
So if my teaching style or even just my profile interest you, then drop me a message and I’ll be happy to help 🙂

Hi my name is Nadia and I am a medical student at Brighton and Sussex Medical School (BSMS). I am currently intercalating at Imperial College London studying Surgical Design, Technology, and Innovation.

I have been a university student for the past seven years, so I understand how stressful and challenging exams can be. I aim to create an environment where you feel comfortable to learn and work towards your goals. My approach is to adapt the learning style to the student to optimize their understanding and performance.

In terms of my academic background, I have experience with studying A-levels (biology, chemistry and physics), an undergraduate degree and masters (Biomedical Science BSc (Hons) and MSc).

Outside of medicine, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends. I also volunteer within the community as a first aider with St John’s ambulance. Alongside medical school, I also work as a phlebotomist.

Whatever your aspirations, I look forward to working with you to help make them a reality!

My name is Nadia and I am a medical student currently studying at Newcastle University. I know that the interview cycle is tough for a lot of people, but I am here to help, having extensive experience with tutoring interviews, both for multiple mini-interviews (MMI) and panels.

I tell all my students one thing: there are a plethora of questions these interviewers can ask you, and I cannot possibly teach you all of them. I am not teaching you answers to these interview questions, I am teaching you how to approach them. So regardless of what weird interview questions you get, you will be able to answer them with confidence. My students have had great success in getting into their university of choice, and have been satisfied with my teaching method, and I manage to create great rapport with the students.

I am also experienced in teaching other subjects, such as mathematics, biology, chemistry, UCAT, BMAT, and the extended project qualification (EPQ).

My name is Elina Pampapathi and I am a Third Year Medical Student at Queen Mary University of London. I am a Graduate Entry Medic with a background in Paramedic Science for which I received a First. I received 4/4 offers for my application; two Graduate Entry Course offers, and two Direct Entry course offers – so I can help either prospective Graduates or Direct Entry students. Additionally, I received within the top 5% globally for my UCAT and have many great hints and tips to help maximise your score. I have just finished my 1st year of Medicine and received a merit for my exam results, which is within the top 20% of my cohort – I had to change my study techniques a lot when I came into medicine and can provide some useful perspective to preparing for a medical degree. I would like to help prospective students make the application process as stress free as possible because I do believe that it can be!
