Sarah

Hello! My name is Sarah and I have recently been able to achieve A*A*A*A* in my A levels, having been predicted the same grades all throughout my two years in sixth form. I am now currently studying medicine at Bart’s and the London/QMUL, as a result of not only my grades but also from my UCAT, which I had achieved a score of 2930 B3 in, which was within the top 10% in the cohort, as well as my interview performance, all of which I will be able to give you a helping hand with! I have also achieved the best GCSE grades within my school cohort, having gotten 99998888887, with eights and nines in all sciences and mathematics. As someone who has experienced the full range of academic challenges and successes, I have a very thorough understanding of which learning techniques are more effective than others. I tutor science and mathematics of most levels as well as UCAT preparation. My teaching approach will be tailored yet results-driven. I emphasise visual learning techniques where helpful and make exam-style practice central to every lesson because I believe being able to recall and apply knowledge in such tense exam conditions is the most crucial part of academic success. Lessons are typically one hour long and are suitable for GCSE and A-level students as well as those preparing for the UCAT. Whether you`re aiming for top grades or for an offer from a top medical school, I can help guide you there.
