University Consultation Tutors : 1-1 University Consultation Preparation

Hi, my name is Reza, and I am currently a final-year medical student at the University of Glasgow. I still remember how daunting the medical school application process felt when I first started. There was so much to understand, from A-levels and the UCAT to interviews and personal statements, and at times I felt completely lost. That experience is one of the main reasons I became a tutor at Medic Mind. I want to make the process clearer and less stressful for students, while helping them avoid the mistakes I made myself.

Having previously been a Medic Mind student, I understand both sides of the process and know how important it is to have a tutor who is patient and invested in your progress. I aim to give every single one of my students honest feedback and the confidence needed to excel in whatever they aim to pursue.

Outside of medicine and tutoring, I enjoy playing basketball, cycling and cooking.

Hi, my name is Arun and I am currently a 5th year medical student at Sheffield University. I had 4 interviews and received offers from all four. I am a well-experienced tutor having completed over 2000 hours of tutoring in a range of topics, from GCSEs and A-Levels to UCAT and interviews as well as university consultations

I was one of the few students to undertake the A-level exams in November 2020 after my exams were cancelled due to Coronavirus. I am dyslexic so I have weird and wonderful ways to remember critical information and I hope I can support prospective doctors (dyslexic or non) to achieve their dream of becoming a medical professional.

I was not labelled as your typical medical student by my school. I continued to persevere until I reached the goal that I set for myself, with the help of my family.

I hope we can work well together and achieve what you want, just like I did. 🙂

Hi, my name is Joanna, and I am currently a General Practice Trainee with a strong passion for teaching, mentoring, and supporting aspiring medical students. I am also a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA), reflecting my commitment to high-quality teaching and creating effective, student-centred learning environments.

The road to medicine can be long and challenging, but you don’t have to navigate it alone. Having gone through the journey myself, I aim to pass on the knowledge, strategies, and experience I have gained over the years. My goal is not only to help you succeed in the medical school application process, but also to help you develop the resilience, confidence, and long-term skills that will support you throughout medical school and beyond.

I teach UCAT, helping students develop effective approaches to each section of the exam, improve their timing and accuracy, and build the stamina needed to perform confidently under pressure. Rather than relying solely on shortcuts, I focus on helping students understand how they think, identify areas for improvement, and develop strategies that work for them.

Beyond medicine, I have a passion for languages and take great pride in being able to communicate in several languages. I also teach IELTS and have helped many students achieve scores higher than they initially aspired to.

My experience as an FHEA has further strengthened my approach to education, allowing me to apply evidence-based teaching methods and adapt sessions to different learning styles. I aim to make learning engaging, structured, and personalised, while encouraging students to become confident and independent learners.

I hope you’re ready to embark on this journey together. Come to each session eager to learn, and leave feeling more confident, motivated, and inspired to keep improving 🙂
