As a medical school interviewer with over eight years of experience, I understand what admissions panels are looking for. I have also spent more than ten years supporting aspiring medical students, with proven results.
Every tutoring session is personally delivered by me and adapted to the individual applicant. Sessions combine interactive interview practice, immediate feedback and targeted teaching, with the flexibility to focus on the areas where each student needs the most support.

“Dr Usama has been absolutely fantastic in helping me secure an offer at St George's, University of London. He has been extremely helpful in building my interview technique, with excellently detailed post-lesson feedback which allows me to keep track of my progress and identify areas that need work. I have felt much more confident in my ability to answer both the common and more tricky questions. I highly recommend Dr Usama for anyone wanting to secure an offer for Medicine!”
“Dr Usama tutored my son in preparation for a Medical School interview at Imperial College. He was incredibly thorough in the support he provided, following a very well-structured approach to interview techniques, with much practice and in-depth feedback. This gave my son a rich set of tools and the confidence to perform well at his interview, leading to a conditional offer. Dr Usama was incredibly personable, professional and showed real care for my son's preparation.”
“Dr Usama is a great tutor. He helped me with my personal statement and interview preparation and gave me constructive, realistic advice and feedback during each session. He helped me build confidence in myself for my interviews and was professional, encouraging and down to earth. Dr Usama helped me secure offers from all four of my medical schools: Imperial, Bristol, Barts and Norwich! Thank you so much!”
“I just received an offer from Imperial and we wanted to let you know!!! Thank you for all of your help!!! :)) I couldn't have done it without you :))”
“Thank you so much — genuinely one of the most useful calls ever!”

This is a very difficult question to answer as it varies between different students. On average, each student tends to have between 5 - 15 sessions - although some have had significantly less, and others significantly more.
In our experience, the number of sessions needs to be finely tuned. Too few and you may not feel prepared enough. Too many and you risk sounding overly-rehearsed. We will help guide you through this.
