AWARD-WINNING MEDICAL/CLINICAL DOCTOR AND TEACHER.
Professional medical doctor in London that provides excellent tuition services with over 8 years of experience in private and group tuition.

I am a dedicated and patient medical doctor and mathematics/sciences tutor, having graduated from medical school at Imperial College London. Known for my prompt responses and excellent organisational skills, I excel in academic achievements, including receiving all A*s in A-Level Biology, Chemistry, and Mathematics, and an A in AS Level Physics. Notably, I attained full UMS scores in numerous A-Level exams and was the only student awarded the Sixth Form Mathematics and Sciences Trophy by my school's Maths and Sciences department.

With firsthand experience in medical school applications, I have successfully navigated entrance exams such as the BMAT and UKCAT, achieving high scores. Consequently, I offer practice medical school interviews, BMAT question papers, and additional resources for medical school entrance exams. I am also available to teach and clarify any necessary content for these exams. Furthermore, I provide guidance on UCAS personal statements and university applications, drawing on my extensive experience to support prospective students.

Tutoring Experience

With over 500 hours of teaching experience accumulated over more than eight years, I have had the opportunity to tutor numerous students, assisting them with homework and exam preparation. For high-performing students, I extend our sessions beyond the current curriculum to prepare them for future topics, ensuring they are well-equipped for upcoming challenges.

In addition, I have mentored prospective medical students through a program at Imperial College London and other locations, offering guidance on securing medical school admissions. My volunteer work as a teaching assistant in a primary school has provided me with valuable experience in working with both children and teenagers, enhancing my ability to cater to diverse learning needs.

Tutoring Approach

My lessons are meticulously structured and comprehensive. Prior to each tutorial, I thoroughly plan the session to ensure that all relevant content is covered effectively. Additionally, I administer summary tests to confirm the student's understanding of the material discussed. These tests are instrumental in identifying areas where the student may need further clarification, allowing me to tailor my assistance accordingly.

I provide practice questions and papers for the student to complete, followed by a detailed review of their answers. This process includes ensuring that the student comprehends the reasons behind any incorrect responses, which is crucial for their overall academic success. My approach is designed to foster a deep understanding of the subject matter and to support students in reaching their full potential.
