About Matt

# Tutoring Experience

**Teaching experience:**
I have had a passion for helping others excel since my first year as an
undergraduate where I volunteered as a peer assisted learning leader,
running weekly face-to-face revision sessions for a group of 30 students
on the biomedical science course.
At medical school, I founded a teaching society to support
graduate-entry students with the content-heavy first year – the society
has helped support all graduate entry medics on scale for the past 5
years and is still going strong.
As a doctor I regularly engage medical students whenever I see them on the wards and help out with preparing for upcoming exams.

**Entrepreneurship:**
Being passionate about medical education on scale, I became one of three founding members of ARCTERA – a medical education startup that uses
virtual reality and immersive technologies to teach clinical
decision-making to doctors and students. Unfortunately, an unnecessary number of patients die each year due to poor clinical decision-making and the aim of this simulation company is to use sound pedagogical
principles to allow our current and future doctors to pracitise thinking
and acting like a clinican as if they would in real life.

**Research:**
Throughout my time at university I wrote 20 research papers. Most of
which have already been published in reputable journals, including the
Lancet Rheumatology and The Journal of Paediatric Orthopaedics.

**Leadership:**
I founded and scaled The British Orthopaedic Medical Students
Association (BOMSA), a social enterprise for aspiring orthopaedic
surgeons. This national endeavour has over 60+ committee members across
>95% of all medical schools in the United Kingdom and is fully
affiliated by the British Orthopaedic Association (BOA) and the British
Orthopaedic Trainees Association (BOTA). With a focus on enhancing
medical students’ exposure to orthopaedic surgery, the society also
nurtures the personal and professional development of our committee
members across the country.

I consistently ranked top of the year throughout my Medicine MBBS (Barts
and The London School of Medicine and Dentistry) and my BSc in
Biomedical Science, winning me 10 prizes related to academic
performance, including highest FPAS ranking.

There is more to medicine than academic performance, and throughout university I prided myself in studying in such a way that unlocked more time – this is what I want to teach my students.

**My mission:**
My mission is to teach you the skills to help you study smarter not
harder, so you can unlock the academic performance you want, whilst simultaneously unlocking more time to invest in yourself. How you use
that time is up to you. For me, I invested my free time in research (20
papers throughout medical school), leadership positions (where I founded
and scaled a national social enterprise for aspiring orthopaedic
surgeons - BOMSA) and started a medical education start-up (ARCTERA). Importantly, I did this whilst making the memories of university life that will stay with me forever - maintaining healthy social relations, getting plenty of sleep and
resisting burnout.

Whether you’re wanting more help to score in higher deciles, or
wanting mentorship on upping your CV whilst maintain high academic
performance, then I have you covered.

**My prizes:**
1. Frederick Treves Prize (2020) – First place for MBBS medicine
2. Kumar and Clark Prize (2020) – Best overall student based on FPAS ranking
3. QMULs principal prize (2020) – Outstanding academic achievement
4. Jackson Burrow and Moreton prize in orthopaedics (2019) – winner of annual orthopaedics prize examination
5. The Knott prize (2018) - Top of the year medicine MBBS
6. The Sir Andrew Clark and Duckworth Nelson Prize (2018) - Top of the year medicine MBBS
7. The Jefferson and Herbert Patterson Prize (2017) - Top of the year medicine MBBS
8. Royal Society of Biology top student award (2016) - Top of the year biomedical sciences Bsc Year 3
9. Alywin Chadwick prize (2015) - Top of the year biomedical sciences BSc Year 2
10. Normal Richards memorial prize (2014) - Top of the year biomedical sciences BSc Year 1

# Tutoring Approach

All medical students demonstrate an ability to get into university through
hard work and stellar academic performance. But why is there such a
disparity in academic performance once we get in to medical school? My
experience tells me its predominately in the study habits.

**Studying (exposing your brain to content) is not the same as learning (encoding your brain with content)**

Medicine is unique compared to the vast majority of other degrees in
that medical students are constantly hit with new content and
examinations. It is simply not possible to be comfortable with all
content, or retain all the facts you come by. We're traditionally taught
**WHAT** to study at university, but the secret sauce to stress-free academic performance is **HOW** to study.

How do you efficiently find, capture and cover content? Chances are
you can better leverage time and technology to better prepare yourself
for exams. This is what I want to teach you. The word ‘efficiently’ is
key here – imagine if you could cut the time you spend revising in half
and perform better; how much more time would that give you to invest in
the other areas of your life that matter?

I aim to help my students unlock academic potential in three ways:

1. To teach you essential study habits to help you find, capture and cover content more efficiently so you can retain more information for
longer.
2. Tailor sessions to academic material that you want more help with
3. Advice on investing your new found time in research, society
work, entrepreneurial endeavours and/or other CV building opportunities
alongside university.

Students will also be provided with a toolkit of resources that
helped me to consistently rank first place throughout medical school.

I know how difficult it can be to balance your time/social life
around lectures and placements. I'm all for working smarter not harder
so I am only offering teaching sessions over Zoom (or equivalent) so
that you don't have to waste precious time or money on commuting.
