1About Me
I’m a first year medical student in Università degli Studi di Bari Aldo Moro in Italy, in a journey of helping others, while developing myself in a professional and personal way. With a determined and curious mind, mainly in the medical and research field, I’m opened to joining innovative experiences and opportunities. I have experiences with most entrance medical exams all over Italy, from private to public universities, such as Humanitas University, Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, Università Vita-Salute San Raffaele, UniCamillus International Medical University in Rome and the IMAT exam, all of which I have been admitted to. Coming from Brasil, a country with a completely different High School curriculum from Europe, I had to find the best and most high yield method and materials to study for each of those particulars exam, and after succeeding in those, I wish to help prospective students from all over the world to achieve this dream as well. Additionally to studies, I have been through the whole documentation process to study in Italy, field in which I can also be a support. I’m motivated to help those who are just starting the process of applying to medicine in Italy and Europe, but also those who needs assistance with specific science and logical reasoning subjects. I would be most happy to answer all your questions, and in the future see your dream becoming a reality.
My teaching style
I believe is important to firstly create a study plan and guide with what works best for each student, organization is everything. What have worked best for me, was first having the theory consolidated and then focusing a lot on practicing all kinds of exercises from different entrance exams (A-levels, IB HL, BMAT, TSA, IMAT, HUMAT…). With PowerPoints I can easily explain any scientific and logical reasoning topic from the beginning or answering a punctual question as well. Closer to the exam day, I can help in building a precise and personalized exam strategy, so the student gains confidence while doing the simulations and stays calmer in the test day. Also, managing anxiety is something I really invested in myself during my test preparation, which made me even more ready for any unexpected circumstance during the exams, practices like meditation and mindfulness were key for me.
I believe the preparation for any medical entrance exam should happen as a whole, and understanding each exam’s particularities is primordial for building a study plan and exam strategy that actually works.
My past experience
Yes, during the pandemic I have given voluntary online English lectures.
