In our first session, my main goal will be to get to know you and where you currently are in your studies, what your learning goals are, and what kind of support will help you most. Whether you’re preparing for your final year exams, gearing up for medical school applications, or aiming to strengthen your clinical skills, I’ll use this initial conversation to map out a personalized plan. By understanding your current level and your specific objectives, I can prepare learning materials that truly fit your needs rather than offering a one-size-fits-all approach.

As someone with ADHD myself, I understand how challenging it can be to learn from the traditional, text-heavy PowerPoint slides that are so commonly found in University lectures. I found that a visual and activity-based style of learning worked far better for me than simply reading or memorizing information. Because of this, I’ve designed my teaching approach to be engaging, interactive, and varied. I use diagrams and case-based discussions, and hands-on activities wherever possible. However, not everyone does work this way, which is why I always tailor my sessions to the individual, so you get a learning style that suits you best, whether that’s visual, auditory, practical, or a mix.

When it comes to medical school assessments, I pay particular attention to OSCE (Objective Structured Clinical Examination) preparation. These practical exams can be unpredictable, and many students find them nerve-wracking. I have prepared a wide range of scenarios and targeted questions designed to simulate what you might encounter in the exam room. These practice cases will help you develop confidence, sharpen your clinical reasoning, and learn how to stay calm under pressure — so that no matter what the examiners throw at you, you’ll be ready to respond clearly and professionally.

In short, my aim is to create a learning environment that is supportive, engaging, and adaptable, giving you the best possible chance to reach your goals.
