I am a second year medical student at the University of Cambridge. Whether you are looking to secure a place at your dream university or get top marks in your exams, I can help. With expertise in past paper questions and content from all of the exam boards (having achieved A*-Biology, A*- Chemistry and A*-Mathematics) I can give useful resources and advice tailored to each students’ strengths and weaknesses, enabling students to excel in GCSE/A-level exams. Having faced a successful interview and achieved top grades in exams to secure my place at one of the worlds best universities, I am highly qualified to assist with any interview practice and admissions tests needed for medical school. I am very keen to pass on my knowledge gained by such experiences to others who can also go on to not only pass exams, but to go beyond this and do great things in the future. Additionally, I recently left secondary school so I have sound knowledge of the teaching methods such as active recall and independent problem solving which make learning an enjoyable experience and ultimately improves engagement and memory. I also teach essay writing skills needed to achieve top band marks in the BMAT/AQA A-level Biology essay.
