Why Choose Me?

As a current medical student at the University of Nottingham, I understand exactly what today’s students need to succeed. Having recently gone through the highly competitive medical school admissions process myself, I provide up-to-date guidance that reflects what universities are looking for now—not years ago.

Helping Tutor

Personalised 1-1 teaching

​

Every student learns differently.

 

I tailor every lesson to each student’s strengths, weaknesses and learning style. Whether your child needs support building confidence, mastering difficult concepts or achieving the highest grades, lessons are designed specifically around their goals.

Proven Student Success

​

Nothing is more rewarding than seeing students achieve their ambitions.

I have helped students:

  • Improve their confidence in Mathematics and the Sciences.

  • Achieve higher GCSE and A Level grades.

  • Develop effective revision techniques.

  • Build successful applications for competitive university courses.

  • Gain the confidence to perform well in examinations and interviews.

My aim is not simply to improve grades but to help students become independent, confident learners who enjoy academic success long after tutoring has finished.

Medical Application Tutoring

​

Applying to medicine is about far more than academic results.

 

I provide guidance on:

 

  • UCAT preparation

  • Personal statements

  • Interview preparation (MMI and panel interviews)

  • Building a competitive portfolio

  • Work experience planning

  • Study strategies for GCSE and A Levels

 

Having successfully navigated this process myself, I understand the common mistakes applicants make and how to avoid them

More than just a Tutor

​

Beyond academics, I have held leadership positions, including serving as Head of Girls’ Boarding, helping me develop communication, mentoring and organisational skills that I bring into every lesson.

 

Students benefit from someone who understands not only the curriculum but also the pressures of balancing school, extracurricular activities and university applications.
