Top University Interview Guidance Mentors

I graduated with a First from Oxford last year for my undergraduate History BA. I am really passionate about teaching and this year I have engaged in a variety of teaching roles, including volunteering as an English teacher for 3 months in Nepal. I have tutored History and Geography A level, alongside English Lit and Language GCSE for over 3 years. My tutoring style primarily revolves around teaching technique based essay writing improvements, and my students are able to massively boost their academic performance by focusing on these core skills. I am keen to provide a personalised experience tailored to each individual student which best suits their individual needs and learning approach. As a graduate in History, I am extremely experienced in essay writing (having to had to write weekly essays over 3 years). Thus I am well equipped to provide useful feedback and tips for any aspiring humanities student. I always like to be available to any of my students outside of sessions in case they have any queries or requests for content.

My name is Lisa. I am a 1st year University of Cambridge Modern & Medieval Languages (French & German) Undergraduate student with a keen interest in literature (both foreign and English) and economics (mainly financial markets). I studied Economics, French, German and Russian at A-level and really enjoyed this combination. I am an avid reader, a travel enthusiast and a passionate linguist. I have taught many subjects at GCSE level in the past, however, I now prefer to specialise in teaching English and foreign languages, more precisely French and German, as well as Economics, for students of any age and level. My typical lesson duration is 1-1.5 hours, but I like to customise my teaching methodology and lesson length in accordance with my students' academic/personal goals. I would like to share my interests with you and help you uncover your academic potential, develop your personal skills and help you find your favourite academic pursuit. I look forward to meeting you and guiding you through your journey to achieving your goals!

Hello! I'm Kufre, currently a medical student at King's College London, with a strong passion for the sciences and a deep commitment to education. My academic journey is highlighted by my stellar grades: 11 A* at GCSE and 4 A*grades at A-level in Mathematics, Biology, Chemistry, and Physics. These achievements not only reflect my grasp of these subjects but also my dedication, perseverance, and the effective study skills I've developed over the years. Alongside my studies, I have gained over three years of experience as a tutor. I've had the privilege of supporting students from diverse backgrounds, ranging from those preparing for their 11+ exams to A-level pupils aiming for academic excellence. My versatile teaching methods are customised to fit each student's unique learning style, ensuring their comfort, engagement, and ultimately, their success. Beyond general tutoring, I am proficient in guiding students through the university entrance process, including the BMAT, UCAT, and interview preparation. Drawing from my personal experiences, I provide insightful guidance to help students navigate these demanding steps with confidence and ease. Outside of academia, I am an enthusiast of calisthenics, a discipline that has fortified my resilience, determination, and goal-setting abilities. I firmly believe that these traits are equally valuable in a learning environment, and I incorporate them into my tutoring approach. This method helps students understand that learning, like calisthenics, is a process that involves setting and working progressively towards achievable goals. As a tutor, my mission is to not only facilitate academic improvement but also to inspire a genuine love for learning in my students. I strive to create an environment where students feel empowered, motivated, and excited to reach their full potential. I am looking forward to partnering with you and your child on their academic journey!

Hi, I am a second year undergraduate at University College London studying History and Spanish, I teach GCSE Maths, English Literature, English Language, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, History, Spanish, Geography, Business and Economics as well as A Level History, Economics and Spanish. I have over 5 years experience and enjoy teaching as well as learning and getting to know my students!

Hello! I’m Koby and am a 3rd year medical student at the University of Cambridge. With over 5 years of tutoring experience, I focus on a holistic, engaging and student-centric approach to teaching, whilst sharing my passion and love for learning! Understanding a topic is one thing but understanding what the examiners are looking for can sometimes be a whole other issue. Using my experience, I tailor my lessons to the student’s needs to help them achieve both, whilst utilising my extensive bank of exam questions to guide the student with worked examples and build their confidence. I also share effective learning strategies and tips that make learning enjoyable and easier. This has helped many of my students achieve top grades and personally helped me achieve 10A*’s at (I)GCSE and 4A*’s at A-Level/Pre-U in Maths, Further Maths, Chemistry and Biology. Hence, I specialise in teaching these subjects for students of all levels and ages. As well as cracking the code to exam technique, I am happy to mentor students applying for Medicine or Oxbridge. I am confident I can make a difference having excelled in the UCAT and BMAT admissions exams as well as acing interviews in an empathetic and charismatic manner in order to receive medical school offers from Cambridge, Imperial, Keele and Cardiff. In my free time, I am an avid chess player (9x British Chess Champion who has represented England in the World Youth Championships) and sports and music enthusiast. I hope to instil that same ambition and belief in my students that they too can excel in their academics whilst doing what they enjoy! If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me and I look forward to working together with you and your student to bring out their full potential – see you on the other side! :)

Hello! I'm Taylor, a trainee airline pilot with British Airways, due to start flying A320s towards the middle of 2025. Prior to this, I graduated in Biomedical Engineering at Surrey University with First Class Honors (as well as having completed pre-clinical medicine at the University of Edinburgh with a grade average of 80% before finding my calling in aviation), and was an IB student at Tonbridge Grammar School, achieving 41/45 (with a 6/7/7 in Maths, Physics, and Computer Science respectively). As a tutor I have worked privately since 2017, tutoring primarily maths to students aged 11-18, as well as UCAT, Personal Statement writing, and Interview technique for prospective medicine applicants. My students have consistently gone on to achieve their goal in the exams they are aiming for, with a notable example being a GCSE maths student that I (in combination with my tutee's hard work!) brought from a grade 1/2 to a 6/7 over the course of 12 weeks of tutoring. I am delivering webinars to classes of 20-30 students covering both past papers and challenging concepts within a subject. My tutoring style very much depends on the student; however, I always start by identifying the student's goals and the areas they struggle in. I will then tailor the sessions to make sure we cover those topics, and I also attempt to link the topics we cover to their application in the real world (my engineering degree helps with this), so I hope that my students not only achieve the goal they have set but also come out understanding that school subjects can be useful after all!

I draw upon my three years of tutoring experience to create lessons that not only impart knowledge but also inspire a passion for learning. I am enthusiastic about contributing to students' academic journeys and fostering a positive and growth-oriented learning experience. Looking forward to leveraging my expertise to help students excel in their chosen subjects.

I am a 5th year medical student at Cambridge University. I am interested in the science of learning and metacognition and how tools from the literature can be harnessed to have the highest yield study session EVERY session. My Grades: A-level Biology, Chemistry, Maths, Physics: A*, A*, A*, A* GCSE Biology, Chemistry, Maths, Physics: 9,9,9,9 My teaching style involves working from the ground up. Teaching the very basic foundation of the topic before adding the more complex concepts. To best teach, I use a mixture of verbal questions and mini-written assignments to ensure the student has got to grips with the concept. I find verbal questions requiring verbal answers really help the student work through their thought processes out loud and see where they are lacking in knowledge and need clarification. In addition to teaching, I will constantly remind the student of factors involved in effective learning, something I am very passionate about. A quick insight into factors that play a significant role in effective learning. Effective learning can be divided into 3 stages: Before, during, and after the learning bout. Before and after, you need to prime yourself for absorbing information. This includes things such as getting enough sleep the night before, being well nourished before starting work, and eliminating known distractions plus reducing the risk of distractions. Sleep for example is crucial for learning, both before and after a study session. Poor sleep leads to reduced motivation, concentration, working memory (The RAM of the brain), and reduced memory formation to name a few. Studies have shown that good sleep on the night of studying is crucial, but it doesn’t end there. For ample memory formation, sleep on subsequent days after learning needs to be optimal as well. During the study session itself, methods such as active recall and spaced repetition are common in the education space, but there are ways to improve on these methods to reduce the time taken to learn large sums of information. For example, the spacing of recalled information during a study session should tend towards being longer than shorter in order to give the brain the signal that that piece of information is worth remembering long term. An example of this is rather than recalling a list of words every 2 minutes, recalling it every 15 minutes will force you to make mistakes and provide a stronger learning stimulus. Recalling information too often is almost like re-reading the information because you have not let yourself forget some of the content hence it is dangerously close to simply recognizing the information. I believe the best thing I can do as a tutor is to make the student self-sufficient and equip them with the best science-backed tools to achieve the grades they want to achieve.

Hi I’m Yassin, I am a First Year Medical Student at UCL (University College London). I received all 4 of my interviews and all 4 of my offers back from UCL, Edinburgh, Sheffield and Birmingham medical schools. I achieved 3220 Band 1 in my UCAT and 5A*s in my A-levels: Maths, Biology, Chemistry, Physics and EPQ (on a medical topic). I achieved 99% in my Maths A-level, 94% in Biology, 92% in Chemistry, 92% in EPQ and 86% in Physics. I also achieved Grade 9s in all 10 of my GCSEs. I’ve got over 200hrs experience in tutoring over a space of 2 years. I love playing the piano, playing tennis, going to the gym and learning languages. I’ve achieved a Grade 8 in Piano, and I can speak English and Arabic fluently; and I speak near-fluent Spanish (C1 level). My friends would describe me as a talkative person but one who is dedicated when it’s time to focus on school work. I’m very sociable and make friends quite easily which I think makes interacting with my students a much more pleasant experience for them.
