Hi, my name is Joanna a current Foundation Year 2 doctor, eager to connect with you to create a learning environment that best fits your learning style and helps you achieve your dreams.

The road to medicine can be long, however, I aim to pass down the wealth of knowledge that I have gained over the years to ensure that your journey will be one where you enjoy the application process and cultivate long-term skills to help you as you enter medicine. Building up endurance and stamina for this journey can only be done with guidance and advice.

Know that you do not have to go through this process alone and that we are here for you to support every need you have during this path.

Apart from medicine, I love languages and often take pride in the number of languages I can communicate. I enjoy teaching IELTS and have helped many students get through this exam with higher scores than they aspired for.

I hope you are ready to embark on this journey together. Be ready to come to each session eager to learn and walk out of the session inspired to learn more.

Hi! I can offer help with the GAMSAT, GCSE English and Spanish and also the HPAT if needed. I did my undergraduate in UCD in English with a specialisation in Spanish.
GAMSAT:
Despite not having a science background, I managed to raise my section 3 score by 15 points over two sittings, which, along with my high section 1 and 2 scores, was enough for entrance to medical school in Ireland. I sat the GAMSAT twice myself. I used a wide variety of resources and tried a few different study styles and approaches to the exam. I have a way of approaching each question which worked for myself and a friend who I tutored, and which will hopefully work for you! I have an approach to section 2 that I haven’t heard from anyone else but which appears to work. I also know a lot of people who sat the GAMSAT and I can tell you the various approaches to section 2 I heard. I know how frustrating GAMSAT can be so I really hope I can provide some insight into the exam and help you get into medical school! I’m currently in UL so if anyone is interested in going there I can answer any questions you have!

GCSE Spanish/English:
Along with my undergraduate I lived in Spain every summer between the ages of 11 and 17 so I can definitely help you out if you’re looking for a Spanish tutor! I also have some experience teaching a foreign language as I teach English to children at weekends.

Hi, my name is Joowon and I’m a medical student at Trinity College Dublin. I was born in Korea but raised in London and studied chemistry as an undergraduate at Imperial College London and did a masters in Mental Health at QMUL before joining the medical course at in Ireland. As a mature student, I have a wealth of experience from working in hospitals, nursing homes and research and can bring a lot into helping you build your skills as an aspiring medic. In terms of medical applications, I do have experience of being unsuccessful and therefore I can share the things that made a difference for me the second time I made an application. I believe the key thing for medical interview is to build up your confidence by practising so I’m keen to support any student who is wishing to train their interview skills through lots and lots of practice!

My name is Kate and I am an ambitious student of medicine at University College Cork, a hockey player and a sailing instructor with a strong work ethic. I believe that hard work pays off but also that having fun with friends and family is an equally important aspect to life. I used this mindset to achieve 625 points in my leaving cert whilst also leading a social and active lifestyle. To this day I still play hockey competitively with college and enjoy going out with my friends. I understand that the HPAT is difficult to begin with but I strongly believe that vast improvement is possible with practice. At the beginning I struggled to figure out the question styles but with lots of practice I achieved the 92nd percentile in the final exam. I would love to share with you some of the tips and tricks I picked up along the way!!

Hey, I’m Derry!

I look forward to sharing with you the different strategies that I used to tackle the medical school application and to help you on your way to becoming a successful doctor!

The process to apply for medicine is a daunting one, and it is often easy to get lost within the mountains of work that needs to be done. However, hopefully with my help and extensive experience in preparing for these particular exams, as well as previous tutoring experience, I can help make that process a lot less stressful!

I am adaptive in my teaching style, and I can cater to students’ differing needs and preferences.

The difficult process that is involved in applying to medical school are still very recent in my history and remain very clear in my memory. I am confident that, with my recent and up-to-date knowledge, I can offer you the various types of support that you may need on this journey towards medicine.

I’m currently a 1st year Medical Student at Trinity College Dublin and I have also studied for two years at Imperial College London.
