Saira is a respected tutor in our community. She is highly recommended for her commitment and the quality of her lessons. A trusted partner on your learning journey.
About Saira
I am an enthusiastic, creative doctor and educator with over 5 years’ of experience in teaching medical students.
As a junior clinical teaching fellow, I was awarded a scholarship for my commitment to teaching excellence and organising and acting as an examiner in practical medical examinations. I have seen many of these students go on to be successful doctors and work alongside them.
Having recently attained my MRCP (London) Diploma I also am looking forward to supporting doctors 1:1 in their examination approach and achieving success in the PACES exam, having been invited to teach at PACES courses.
Overall, I really care about your learning, and helping students from all walks of life to achieve their educational potential.

I have always been passionate about teaching and developing students in medicine.
Having spent most of my life studying, I have learnt a thing or two about adapting my own approach, learning styles and therefore teaching styles - which is why I believe in tailoring teaching to the student.
Lessons will build on existing knowledge, and as I often did with my own learning, break down topics that are most daunting to you FIRST. I teach at students’ homes and via Skype and am a very visual teacher, so expect diagrams, brainstorms and to be getting involved in all of the above.
Ultimately, I want to remove the fear around learning especially ahead of exams and build your confidence in yourself and your learning ability.
Reviews
All the reviews collected from students are verified by our team. They are therefore reliable and correspond to a real experience with Saira.
Perfect! Saira is a really good teacher that always comes prepared and makes lessons tailored to your needs.
I've had a number of medical tutors, and more often than not, they just wing it and don't really bring any resources, but Saira is different - she comes prepared and brings relevant resources (even a tendon hammer!) and mark schemes.
She is also an experienced teacher, and have even made OSCE stations beforehand during her time as a Clinical Teaching Fellow.
All in all, I recommend Saira if you'd like an experienced teacher for your OSCE prep who will come prepared to teach.- It was a pleasure to teach Idura. She has a passion for learning and medicine, which only made it easier to engage throughout our lessons and have thoughtful conversations around each subject topic.Saira's response :

Saira gave one to one tuition to my son (1 hour 30 a week) for just under one year (from mid year 10 to mid year 11).
My son had been studying in a French school until year 10 and wants to study sports.
He was struggling with science as the French curriculum is different from the English and required to obtain good science GCSEs in order to go on to study sports.
Saira was very helpful, thorough, punctual, trustworthy, supportive and hands on. She gave him a notepad to write all the points he needed to revise, which he found very helpful.
The outcome was very good as my son started year 10 in set 5. He was told he would have to take the Foundation science GCSE. By the beginning of year 11, he was brought up to set 2 and prepared for the Higher tier. His results for the GCSE science were 6 and 7.Saira's passion for teaching is beyond compare. Whilst on placement, Saira made it her obligation to teach all the medical students on a regular basis in order to ensure that we were up to date with all patients conditions. Her engaging and self motivating persona ensures that all her students are engaged in the learning process.
She really understands what it means to not only be an awesome teacher but also an excellent mentor. I can remember spending long hours on placements with her when I needed help with practical skills, she was patient, diligent and very helpful in helping me gain confidence in my practical skills.
Not only does she care about education, she also cares about the student as a whole. She encourages, a balanced lifestyle which reflects her love for life.See more recommendations
