My Approach to Tutoring:
Getting into medicine is highly competitive - my goal is to help you stand out.
My teaching is interactive, goal-oriented, and tailored to your individual learning style. Whether you're tackling tough A level subjects like biology or chemistry, or preparing for UCAT and interviews, I provide clear guidance every step of the way.
My Teaching Techniques & Methodology:
Every student starts with an assessment of their current UCAT performance using Medify or MedEntry statistics, alongside a discussion about their strengths, weaknesses and target universities. From this, I create a personalised study plan with weekly goals tailored to their exam date and current level. Lessons focus on understanding why answers are correct rather than justmemorising techniques. We break down each section into manageable strategies, helping students develop the pattern recognition, critical thinking and time management skills needed to consistently improve their scores. Between lessons, students receive structured homework with specific question sets, mini mocks and timed practice targeted at their weakest areas. I regularly review progress data to adapt study plans, ensuring lessons remain focused on the areas that will have the biggest impact on their score.
I teach all five UCAT sections and alongside question technique, I cover pacing strategies, educated guessing, calculator shortcuts, keyboard shortcuts, flagging strategies and mock exam preparation to help students perform under timed conditions. For students applying to medicine or dentistry, I also offer interview preparation for both MMI and panel interviews, with personalised feedback and practice stations.
Typical Lesson Length: Lessons are typically 90 minutes, with options for 120-minute intensive sessions for mock interviews or detailed topic reviews. I am also open to shorter sessions if that’s what suits your learning style best!
Qualifications & Experience:
I am currently enjoying my 4th year of medical school at KCL and I have a strong academic record, achieving A*s at A level, 3100+ in the UCAT and 4/4 medicine offers. With 8 years of tutoring experience, I’ve successfully worked with students to achieve their goals and gain admission to top medical schools as well as mentored medical students and supported them through their medical school journeys.
Who the Lessons Are For:
Students applying to medical schools in the UK or Australia A-Level or IB students needing Biology or Chemistry tutoring
UCAT candidates
Anyone needing guidance on interviews, applications, or personal statements
Students already currently in medical school across the world who’d like extra support with their medical curriculum. (any topics)
Please note: the ‘first lesson free’ shown by Superprof refers to an initial consultation to discuss your goals and create a study plan. Teaching lessons are charged at my usual hourly rate.
Reviews
All the reviews collected from students are verified by our team. They are therefore reliable and correspond to a real experience with Zara.
Perfect! Zara is an incredibly outgoing, caring and dedicated tutor who consistently goes above and beyond to support me. She closely tracks my progress, keeps me updated on how I am improving and clearly explains what I should be working on independently, while also reinforcing those areas during our tutorials. Her teaching methodology is highly personalised, as she adapts every lesson and study plan around my individual strengths and weaknesses to ensure I get the most out of each session. She always remains professional, prepared and committed to putting her best foot forward, and it is clear that she genuinely cares about helping me improve my scores and confidence. Since working with Zara, there has already been a drastic and noticeable improvement in my performance, and I honestly would not be where I am today without her continued guidance, encouragement and support. I am extremely grateful for everything she has done for me, and I feel very fortunate to have a tutor who is so invested in my progress and success.
- Jabed is an engaged and hardworking student who consistently listens attentively during lessons and applies feedback effectively. He completes all assigned work on time and always puts in a clear and focused effort. He is eager to learn, takes advice on board, and shows a genuine desire to do well. I believe that with his positive attitude and continued commitment, he will continue to make excellent progress and achieve strong improvements.Zara's response :
Perfect! Zara has been such a friendly and helpful tutor throughout my medical application journey. Her communication is great both in and out of lessons, always going above and beyond to support me. She has been so encouraging during all our lessons and manages to use her knowledge and experience to help me with interview prep. I'm really confident she will be able to help other students as much as she has helped me, couldn't recommend her enough!

I have known Zara for many years now and she has always been one of the smartest people I know! She has lots of experience in tutoring and teaching and is a very patient and helpful person. She’s such an empathetic listener and has supported me both academically and overall, I highly recommend her to everyone on Superprof.
Zara mentored me at King’s College London for my Medicine degree and was incredibly helpful. Not only is she friendly and approachable, she’s very knowledgable and has a knack for teaching. She acknowledged my learning difficulties and curated a plan that benefited me and resulted in my average grade increasing - I’m sure her ability is transferable to any area of teaching. Could not recommend Zara any more as a tutor.
