About Lydia
Due to ill health I had to spend the last year studying for my GCSEs at home and thus had to tutor myself in many subjects. As such I have developed many useful strategies for preparing for exams which I would like to share. In addition, the application process for medicine, especially at Oxbridge, can seem very daunting. I have done lots of work with organisations such as Generation Medics, who help students with this, and I am motivated to help others get to where they want to go. Here are some reviews from my students:
• "I GOT IN!:) Fantastic tutor who takes the time to prepare detailed and useful resources. Lydia did an amazing job of helping me with my Oxford application while also making the lessons enjoyable. Would thoroughly recommend!" - Ojas, BMAT student, secured offer to read medicine at Queen's College in Oxford with help from our expert Watson & Scholar medicine entrance exam and medicine application tutors.
• "Before my Oxford medicine interviews, I underwent several tutoring sessions with Lydia, and her guidance played a pivotal role in securing my place at the desired college! Lydia's mock interviews closely resembled the actual experience, and her valuable advice proved exceptionally beneficial in improving my interview technique. Overall, Lydia’s experience, especially in aiding students with Oxbridge admissions, offered me detailed and constructive feedback that was invaluable in helping me to secure an offer at Oxford." - Ashish, secured offer to read medicine at Balliol College, Oxford, with help from our expert Watson & Scholar Oxbridge interview tutors.
• “Lydia is an exceptionally talented and approachable tutor who knows exactly how to challenge her students and develop their thinking skills. Her sessions were incredibly valuable, and I gained techniques and advice that were crucial in building my confidence and performing well in interviews. She really goes the extra mile with her students, whether it’s helping you navigate the online interview format or suggesting advanced topics to research. She’s such a welcoming tutor and tailors each session to exactly target your specific weaknesses. I would highly recommend her and her services to anyone looking to apply!” – Romaisa, secured offer to read medicine at Univ College, Oxford, with help from our expert Watson & Scholar Oxbridge interview tutors.

These sessions are primarily for students interested in applying for medicine or Oxbridge courses (or both!) In a personal statement session I can help you write and edit drafts tailored to an Oxbridge application. In UCAT and BMAT sessions I will help you work through example questions and give top tips. In university application sessions I can help you to prepare for the different style of medicine interviews including Oxbridge, and can give practice interviews. I have graduated Oxford with a BA in Medical Sciences (I got in for medicine). I interviewed for medicine at the University of Oxford, Imperial College London, and UCL.

Perfect! Lydia is the perfect interview tutor; I got an offer from my worst interview thanks to her! I am so grateful to have had her as my teacher, she is very flexible with meeting times and also knowledgeable about all areas of medicine.

Perfect! I GOT IN!:)
Fantastic tutor who takes the time to prepare detailed and useful resources.
Lydia did an amazing job of helping me with my Oxford application while also making the lessons enjoyable. Would thoroughly recommend!- Ojas is a proactive, hardworking student who responds well to feedback and continually challenges himself to improve. He was clear with communicating what he wanted to learn from our tutoring sessions together, completed all homework thoroughly and I was able to see his confidence and communication skills improve throughout the course of lessons. Well done Ojas! I hope you never lose this attitude to learning and that you go far in the future! I'm sure you will make an excellent doctor one day! :)Lydia's response :

Exceptionally concise with explanations and very willing to learn new concepts/programming languages in between sessions to provide further assistance. Highly recommended.
Lydia's Superprof tutoring has been a game-changer for me. She tailors sessions to my needs with a friendly, effective style of tutoring. I am now so much more confident in my understanding and ability.
Lydia is kind, great with all ages and easy to talk to. She’s a really good teacher.
Very attentive tutor who helped me through gcse reach A*AB at A levels and my first choice uni. Would highly recommend for anyone studying chemistry and biology. She gave detailed feedback and clear understanding of terminology, equations etc and improved my grades from 5s to 8s and 9s at gcse.
Lydia is a very dedicated tutor who provides total support for her students. She helped me with my A Levels in Chemistry and Biology, where I ended up achieving A*s starting at Cs.
