My past experience

I began tutoring as a GCSE Maths tutor from 2017 to 2019, supporting a student over two academic years. With consistent, tailored sessions, I helped them build confidence and skills, ultimately achieving an 8 (A*) in their final exam.

Since 2021, I’ve been working as a UCAT and medical admissions tutor, supporting students through every stage of the application process — from aptitude testing to personal statements and interviews. One of my standout successes includes helping a student improve their UCAT score from 2200 to 2800 in just one cycle. I’ve also supported students in gaining offers from top medical schools including Cambridge, Barts, Warwick, Keele, and Aberdeen.

I’ve received consistently positive feedback across tutoring platforms, with students describing me as “very understanding and pleasant,” and “extremely knowledgeable,”. Some highlights include:

“Can tell she genuinely cares about the student and teaching them well.”

“Sophie is very friendly/accommodating and really great at listening and giving insight.”

“Her guidance on my personal statement definitely helped me improve my final draft.”

“Sophie’s teaching skills are excellent! Would definitely recommend!!”

These experiences have reinforced my belief in the power of personalised, compassionate tutoring and the importance of not just helping students succeed, but also making them feel supported throughout the process.
