UCAS Tutors : 1-1 UCAS Preparation

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!

I am Uday Modhwadia, a recent graduate of the prestigious University of Cambridge. My academic journey at Cambridge has equipped me with a solid foundation in Economic Geography and urbanism, which I am eager to apply in a professional capacity. One of my key strengths is my ability to dissect and comprehend intricate themes within various subfields of geography, including post-colonial studies.

My time at Cambridge was a transformative experience that instilled in me a profound appreciation for the significance of education and knowledge dissemination. It is this appreciation that fuels my desire to work as a tutor, guiding and inspiring others to unlock their full potential and attain their academic aspirations.

I firmly believe that education is a powerful tool for personal growth and societal progress. Through my tutoring efforts, I aspire to play a role in enhancing the educational journeys of students worldwide. My goal is to empower them with the knowledge and skills they need to excel in their studies and, ultimately, in their lives.

With a deep commitment to education and a passion for sharing knowledge, I am confident that I can make a meaningful impact in the lives of those I have the privilege to mentor. I look forward to the opportunity to contribute to the academic success and personal development of students across the globe.

Hi there!

My name is Stefan, and I am a (very) recent Law graduate from the University of Oxford.

The more recent part of my academic journey began at the age of 13, when I left my home country of Bulgaria in order to study independently in the UK. I ended up boarding as an international student at Ardingly College – a relatively small school in West Sussex – where I attained 9 IGCSEs at grade 9, an academic scholarship in Philosophy and Mathematics, and – ultimately – 44 points in the IB Diploma.

Following Ardingly, I went on to read Law at Trinity College, Oxford, where I held a Mowat Exhibition and Mowat Scholarship. I achieved a Distinction in my first-year Law Moderations, oversaw the Trinity College Law Society as Co-President during my second year, and graduated from the University with a First Class Honours.

While studying for my undergraduate degree, I was able to secure three Vacation Schemes at top-ranking commercial law firms in London, one of which I have now accepted a Training Contract with. Prior to its commencement, I will be studying for the SQE, as well as a Master’s in Law, at the University of Law.

As to my extracurriculars, I am an avid debater and public speaker. At Ardingly, I won the school’s Interhouse Debating Competition twice, participated in multiple MUNs, and reached the regional finals of the ESU Schools’ Mace competition. I also achieved a Distinction in my LAMDA Grade 8 Public Speaking Examinations and delivered various speeches around the college. Prior to my studies in the UK, I won a CEESA Speech and Debate tournament with a speech on ‘The Peril of Popularity’, which I later delivered as a TEDx talk.

Alongside debating and public speaking, I have also always had a strong passion for essay-writing: at Ardingly, I won the school’s Scholars’ Essay Competition (with an 8,000-word submission on Art History and Aesthetics); was Highly Commended in the NCH Law Essay Competition; and was Commended in the John Locke Institute Law Essay Competition.

In my free time, I enjoy weight training, playing the piano, and writing poetry. I also have a strong background in breakdancing and callisthenics, both of which I used to train in Bulgaria. I enjoy golfing in the summer, and skiing in the winter.

Hello,

My name is Phoebe and I am an undergraduate at Oxford University studying Spanish and Linguistics.

I studied Spanish, Maths, and English Language at A-Level, achieving A*A*A* and winning a school prize for an outstanding contribution to the language faculty. At GCSE, I achieved 11 grade 9s.

I’m most often found in the library, but outside of studying, I enjoy going on long walks through the countryside, playing the piano with my younger sibling, and relaxing with my friends.

I come from a family of teachers and have years of tutoring experience, so my lessons will always be fun, interactive, and most importantly informative. Whatever your academic goals are, I will support you as best as I can.

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any further questions.

NOTE: For English Literature GCSE tutoring, I am familiar with the AQA exam board and the texts Macbeth and Jekyll&Hyde
