Hi! I am Kunika and I am currently in my second year of Medicine at Newcastle University. This is just a little bit about me 🙂
1. I took a gap year due to the pandemic
2. I am an international student
3. I really really enjoy studying Medicine and I truly think all the time spent preparing for the UCAT and medical interviews was worth it
4. I have had past experience in tutoring
As your tutor, I would like to see you progress and become confident in yourself, because a lot of times we know the content but just lack the confidence and I’d love to help you work on that if that is the case. If I was helping you prepare for medical school interviews, I have a lot of feedback I can provide, especially after having done 4 MMIs in my own medical school application process, and having gathered notes from what the panelists have said in those interviews.
For each student my priority would be getting to know your strengths and weaknesses to be able to target specific areas that need work, and enhance your strengths even more to be able to stand out.
I am looking forward to helping you achieve your goals, and navigating this application process with you!
I truly believe the best method to learn is practise as you can never have enough of it, so my teaching style consists of doing a lot of mocks with the student to get them as comfortable as possible with the interview / exam questions and styles.
I also think making mistakes is a great way to learn, as it only makes you consolidate the right answer / method to get to the answer even better. For this reason, if the student is struggling to get to the answer, rather than simply telling them what it is I like to find the student’s line of thinking and encourage them with prompts to reach this answer as independently as possible.
I have past experience with over 50 hours tutoring A level students for Business, and tutoring for Maths and Biology IGCSE. I have also informally helped my friends with their medical interviews by doing mock interviews with them, as well as proofreading their personal statements.
I have had past experience teaching second language English to preschoolers for 6 months.
My proudest achievement includes receiving 4 offers from Medical Schools, getting 8A* in IGCSE, and passing first year of Medical School 🙂
