Vet Personal Statement Tutors : 1-1 Vet Personal Statement Preparation

Hi there! My name is Issy O’Brien and I’m a fifth year veterinary science student at Aberystwyth University, in conjunction with RVC and currently in my fifth year.

I am available for help on personal statements (mine was one of the best in my year), veterinary interviews, veterinary application in general/advice, A-Level Biology/History and GCSE Biology/Chemistry/History/English Literature.

Previous to this I attended one of the highest scoring colleges in the country, who have a 85% rate of A/A* grades. In my A-Levels I achieved A*, A,A and received 3 interviews (Liverpool, Harper Keele, Aberstwyth/RVC) and 2 offers in my application (Harper Keele/Aberstwyth)- the highest in my year. I was able to attend many workshops put on by my college about applying, which I add to my teaching style for a real range of information.

I am incredibly passionate about all things veterinary, but especially large animals and equine, as I have a small flock of pedigree sheep at home! Prior to/during my application process I completed many weeks of work experience which greatly helped my success, but really helped me to find out why I wanted to be a vet and inspired alot of further reading.

I pride myself on working hard and being friendly and confident towards my students, I’m more than happy to cater to any needs and just want the best for them.

Since working for study mind I have taught many students, and this has only grown my skill and experience as a tutor, so I know exactly what students need.

Hello there!

My name is Abbey, I’m a 3rd Year Vet Med student in the Graduate Entry programme at the University of Edinburgh. Before this degree, I completed my BSc in Veterinary Biosciences and an MRes of Parasite Control at Aberystwyth University.

Outside the classroom, I am very active, acting as captain of the vet school’s badminton team that competes monthly in the local league with weekly training. I also am one of the student ambassadors at vet school, so am very familiar with the runnings of the school.

I have been involved in several extracurricular activities since secondary school, ranging from Model United Nations, organising blood drives, to being the managing editor of the school newspaper just to name a few! This carried into my university years in my first degree, restarting the Animal & Veterinary Society and holding roles such as President, Vice-President and Secretary, and being a part of a 10-year consecutive winning dance team as well.

As a second-year medical student at the University of Leicester, I’ve successfully navigated the challenging journey of academic examinations and medical school applications. Having recently experienced the pressures of GCSEs, A-levels, UCAT, and the rigorous medical school application process, I understand firsthand the daunting nature of these crucial academic milestones.
My academic achievements include 4 Grade 9s and 6 Grade 8s at GCSE, A*AA at A-level, and an A* in EPQ. I also scored in the top decile for UCAT with a Band 1 in SJT. This strong academic background, coupled with over a year of tutoring experience in a range of subjects, positions me well to guide students through their own academic journeys.
As your tutor, I’ll provide personalised teaching tailored to your unique learning style. We’ll focus on extensive exam practice as well as going over content and I will share effective techniques to help you achieve high grades. My approach emphasises regular, committed sessions designed to fit around both our schedules, ensuring you reach your maximum potential and desired results.
I believe that with the right guidance, every student can excel. My recent experiences allow me to offer relevant, up-to-date insights into exam preparation and application processes. I’m dedicated to helping you navigate these challenges successfully, just as I have done.

Hi, I’m Charlotte!
I tutor A Level Biology and Maths, as well as GCSE Biology, Chemistry, and Maths. I achieved top grades in my own studies, including 9s in Science and Maths at GCSE and A*AA at A Level this year, with an A* in Biology. Having recently gone through the exam system myself, I understand exactly what it takes to secure top marks, from mastering content to developing exam technique and confidence.
My tutoring style is clear, patient, and encouraging. I break down complex topics into manageable steps and adapt my approach to each student’s needs—whether you’re aiming to secure a top grade, boost confidence in a subject you find difficult, or sharpen exam skills. I believe anyone can succeed with the right support, and I’m committed to helping my students reach their full potential.
If you’re looking for a tutor who combines strong subject knowledge with a supportive and motivating approach, I’d love to help you achieve your goals!

Hi, I’m Hattie! I am currently studying veterinary medicine at the RVC! I know how daunting applying for Vet school can help so I would love to be able to help you to achieve your dream and help you progress into the veterinary field! I applied twice for vet school and was offered spaces both years however due to circumstances I had to withdraw my application first year however this does mean I have plenty of experience within vet school interviews that I can pass on as well as personal statements. Throughout my time at vet school I have learnt new skills all of which I believe would be vital in passing on to future vets! As someone who is so passionate about this degree I want to give everyone the best chance at getting in so they are also able to experience and enjoy vet school! I’m more than happy to answer any further questions or queries to ensure I’m the best matched tutor for the student.

Hi, I’m Imaan. I’m a fifth year medical student at the University of Plymouth, I know the interview process inside out and I know that it takes A LOT of determination. I have independently achieved all my medical school offers and thats why I know that although it seems impossible, there’s always a way to achieve your dreams and I’m here to help you find it! I have lots of experience coaching students and am easy to talk to. I have had to deal with the daunting experience of applying to medical school, independently, including; taking the UCAT exam twice! This has taught me everything there is to know about the test and I have developed many tips and tricks. I am also a foundation student and this pathway requires a lot of thought and planning, I’d be happy to answer any questions regarding any of the unconventional pathways to medicine. My motto is always being there to help, so if you have any questions, feel free to ask them!
