About Amirah

Currently studying Medicine at the University of St Andrews. Received all As for National 5s, Highers, and Advanced Highers. During my years of studies I have experimented with a diverse range of learning and study methods helping myself as well as my peers with their academics. Now I bring my knowledge and experience to my students to help them with their own journey.

Previous experience working as a Maths and English tutor at Magikats Tuition Centre for children aged 5 to 17, teaching according to SQA standards. All levels from primary school to National 5, Higher, and Advanced Higher. Helped numerous potential and current medical student either on their journey into medical school or already at university. Catered to students' preferences, focusing on their needs and wants to help achieve their potential.

About the lesson

I offer no obligation, weekly or biweekly pay as you go lessons, fully flexible on days and times that suit you. Lessons cost £50 per hour, 1 hour in duration, held over zoom. I am also available 24/7 via WhatsApp for support.

- Develop your personal statement to enhance and maximise your chances.

- Why Medicine? Learn how to craft an authentic answer that avoids clichés and shows genuine motivation.

- Work Experience. Learn how to reflect, not just describe. I’ll show you how to turn your experiences into insightful answers.

- Teamwork & Communication. Understand the role of teamwork in medicine and practise how to demonstrate your communication skills under pressure.

- NHS Hot Topics. Stay ahead with a clear understanding of the NHS structure, principles, and current challenges such as waiting times, staffing shortages, and health inequalities.

- Medical Ethics. Master the Four Pillars of Medical Ethics (autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence, justice) and apply them to scenarios on organ donation, consent, abortion, and resource allocation.

- Roleplay Stations. Practise breaking bad news, handling angry patients, and showing empathy, with structured feedback.

- Strengths, Weaknesses & Introspection. Develop reflective answers to personal questions, showing insight, resilience, and self-awareness.

*1 to 1 Mock Interviews*

I also offer 1:1 mock interviews charged at the usual rate of £50/hour. Drawing on my knowledge of the interviews at each university, this will be made specific to the university you have an interview invitation from. I will provide you with detailed feedback within the session, with opportunity to repeat answers and will aim to simulate actual interview conditions and questions that you could be asked.

*UCAT Tutoring*

- Verbal Reasoning. Learn speed reading techniques and effective ways to approach complex texts.
- Decision Making. Master strategies to tackle common question types and enhance problem-solving skills.
- Quantitative Reasoning. Focus on problem areas, quick math methods, and build confidence in numerical reasoning.
- Situational Judgement. Gain insights into ethics, hospital structure, and receive feedback on your responses.

I look forward to hearing from you and helping you on your journey into Medical School. Amirah :)

Amirah is an amazing person and very caring for people. She's been my tutor for a while and helped me a lot. We got to know each other pretty well. This helped me get more comfortable in lessons and made it much more fun.
Amirah has helped me with understanding different topics in Mathematics, English and Biology, therefore I can confidently recommend Amirah.
She will help with understanding and give confidence in being able to solve the ongoing and upcoming problems in such subjects and more.
Amirah made sure to not give me too much help and let me try to resolve the issue myself unless needed or asked to. This gave me much more confidence and made the lessons more engaging. The lessons were fun as Amirah was providing different types of examples catered to my interests. Very fun and educating lessons, no time wasting and very helpful.
