About Urja
With science being an integral aspect of my course, I am able to clearly explain and simplify concepts, so my students can understand their course and ace all their assessments! Basically, I will have an answer to all of their "why" questions, and make the learning experience extremely high yield. Here's also why I'd be a great tutor:
- Undergraduate entry into Medicine (fresh out of high school!)
- 98.95 ATAR - Received offers of studies from 3 different med schools
- Consistent High Distinctions throughout my medical degree
Throughout my educational career, I have participated and been recognized in many STEM contests, including ranking top 25% in the GAUSS Mathematics Challenge, and recently receiving a merit for the International Chemistry Quiz. I have also achieved the Tom Leech Memorial Trophy for Scientific Research, by using a unique blend of science and maths to write a journal article.

As a second-year medical student, I have a deep understanding of biology and human systems, which enhances my ability to teach this subject effectively. I have over three years of tutoring experience, during which I worked with more than 50 students across Years 3–12. My academic achievements include consistently ranking in the top 5% of my cohort during my studies and excelling in Year 11 and 12 Biology. I design lessons that are both engaging and tailored to the specific needs of my students, using my visual and auditory teaching methods to make complex biological concepts easier to grasp. Through my vast experience, I have developed strong interpersonal skills that allow me to connect with students of all ages and levels, helping them achieve academic success in biology. Furthermore, I strongly believe that learning does not end in the lesson itself, and encourage students to complete personalised homework tasks and tests in between our sessions.

We started UCAT Tutoring for both, my daughter and son, with Urja earlier this year and they absolutely aced their exams today! Our family is so grateful to her for the invaluable support and strategies she provided them, and her honest approach to lessons- she helped my children even outside lesson times, and ensured that they were kept on the right track. She has played a key role in helping them through this process, and we are looking forward to collaborating with her again when interview times roll around (finger's crossed).
Urja has been teaching me Year 11 Biology and Chemistry, and she's helped me improve my grades so much- she always walks me through tough concepts in a way that makes them easy to understand, and is happy to answer any questions I may have! She also makes learning fun, since she's always positive and clearly outlines how I can improve in a constructive manner. I'm so glad I started lessons with her- she's the best!
Urja tutors with me for a non-profit and we both teach calculus, algebra, and SAT reading to underpriveleged students from the United States and Canada. She is lovely to work with and oozes cheerfulness, always positively reinforcing her students and to increase their confidence, while improving their knowledge.
Urja tutored my daughter English literature for 2 years, and brought her grades from low C's to A's. She was incredibly dedicated to teaching lessons, and adapted them to fit learning styles, explaining hard concepts patiently and effectively. She was lovely to interact with, always enthusiastic, and was ready to go the extra mile to help.
