Abdullah

Oxford Medicine and PPE graduate -Specialist BMAT/UCAT Tutor

***UCAT and BMAT Enquiries Only Please***

Hello and welcome to my page. I`m a final year medical student at the University of Oxford and professional medical/dental admissions coach with a track record of five years which speaks for it self.

These days I mainly focus on outreach as well as BMAT/UCAT prep over the summer mostly through the classes I teach.

I went to a state comprehensive in north west London before moving to Oxford in 2015 where I`ve spent the past seven years having earned a BA in Philosophy, Politics and Economics and now just finishing up my medical degree.

I got into my first choice medical school at my first attempt and have since been helping other students do the same. I`m a proven exam-acer having scored in the top 1.5% for the BMAT, top 2% for the UCAT and just this year the top decile for the United States Medical Licensing Exam (also an MCQ exam).

I used to teach BMAT and UCAT preparation courses for some bigger admissions companies. I was shocked at their extortion and disappointed at the poor quality of their courses. It seems to be a law of nature that big companies just can`t deliver high quality teaching. So I now teach my own classes based on my own distinct style and years of experience during which I`ve come to understand these exams inside-out.

Lastly, if you are not satisfied with the quality of my teaching then I don`t expect you to pay. I offer a 100% money back guarantee on the first lesson booked with me.

At the start of each summer I teach a one-week UCAT masterclass. We meet from 18:00 - 20:00 for six evenings (Mon - Sun) and cover every section of the UCAT. The class is designed entirely by me and will deliver all the teaching I have for the UCAT exam covering theory and technique for all the sections.

The class runs for one week and meets for two hours each evening.

What does the class cover?
The aim is to cover essential theory and technique for each section. This is achieved through analysing each section into the different types of questions comprising it and developing the theory and technique for each question type.

I cannot recommend Abdullah highly enough. He is a first rate educator, with the ability to make material crystal clear, achieved only through true understanding and mastery of a subject! Abdullah has the ability to elucidate content and provide clarity, solidity, and extension which aren’t accomplished in the classroom. If you want to achieve material progress, there is no other tutor!

Sitting the BMAT is no easy feat, but Abdullah`s attentive guidance provided me with the reassurance and confidence I needed to give it my best shot. The advice he gave allowed me to improve massively; his tips for Section 1 helped me learn about the methodology behind answering the questions, and his thorough marking and analysis of my Section 3 essays proved invaluable on exam day. I can`t thank him enough for his punctuality, flexibility and understanding in addressing all of my concerns, and would recommend him to anyone planning to sit the BMAT.

I strongly recommend Abdullah to anyone who is looking to take the UCAT/BMAT, and applying to medical school in general. Abdullah helped me so much with my UCAT preparation, and helped me get a score of 700+, which I more than happy with. He worked really hard to thoroughly teach me the techniques for each section specifically. The lessons are easy to understand, and he didn`t stop until I was completely confident with each type of question. If it wasn`t for Abdullah, I definitely wouldn`t have done so well! Thank you!
29/08/2020 Miss Leenah (UCAT Tutee)

A truly amazing tutor! Abdullah is very kind, knowledgeable and has a level of commitment I`ve never seen in anyone else. He taught us techniques to enhance our efficiency in the BMAT, and made sure that we all had an excellent understanding before moving onto the next topic. Overall, a fantastic experience, and I really appreciate the time and effort Abdullah put in to ensure that my BMAT score was the best it could be! He is one of the finest tutors I`ve ever worked with and he has my unreserved recommendation.
02/11/2020 Mr Abith (BMAT Tutee)

This tutor not only helped me acquire the correct technique to tackle my UCAT exam, but through their support and expertise, they made my exam preparation a lot less stressful (and somewhat fun!). I knew I could go to them for help with my practice when I asked for it. A very professional and organised tutor, who gave informative and well-structured tutorials. I`m very happy that I chose you as my UCAT tutor, thank you so much! :)
10/08/2020 Miss Morgan (UCAT Tutee)

Abdullah is a tutor who knows the topics he teaches very well, and is able to explain these in a way that helps you understand it quickly. He is very patient in his teaching style and always ensures that everyone understands the topic. He focuses on building a core understanding which I found to be very helpful for the BMAT. I would definitely recommend his tutoring
07/11/2020 Mr Adam (BMAT Tutee)

Abdullah has all the qualities of an outstanding tutor - expert, adaptable, patient, considerate, supportive and passionate about the subject. He understood our daughter`s needs perfectly, tailoring a short course to her specific requirements and focusing on methodology and technique to deliver enhanced performance. Thank you, Abdullah!

Please contact me directly and I am happy to put you in contact with any of my current/past tutees.

***Professional Experience***

Salaried A Level/GCSE Science and Mathematics Tuition 2013 – 2015

This was my first foray into the world of professional tutoring, while I was still at Sixth Form. The
school was a community-oriented evening and weekend supplementary school, providing auxiliary
teaching for all abilities. This was an excellent introduction to the world of teaching because it exposed
me to a wide variety of students which greatly tested and nurtured my teaching abilities. Given its
community focus, the school was populated by both high achieving students and recently immigrated
students who were taking their first steps into the UK secondary education system. I led four weekly
classes with an average size of six students and was a valued member of the school’s teaching team. I developed a strong relationship with the director of the company and principal of the school – it was
a sad parting, but I had to relocate for university.
