Gabrielle G.

Hi, I’m Gabby, a UCL-trained doctor currently working in the NHS.

I love helping students reach their potential. I specialise in biology and in medical school admissions, including the UCAT, personal statements and interview preparation. Having been through the process myself, I know how daunting it can feel. My aim is to make it clear, manageable and even enjoyable.

Widening access to education matters a lot to me. I’ve volunteered with Action Tutoring, which provides free tutoring to young people from disadvantaged backgrounds. I was also a team member for UCL Target Medicine, which supports students from underrepresented groups applying to medicine.

My teaching style is interactive and approachable, aiming to build my students’ confidence while helping them excel beyond the syllabus. Past students have noted how I have helped them master difficult application-based questions by strengthening their conceptual understanding and boosting their problem-solving skills.

I create customized resources and personalized specification trackers to monitor each student’s progress, ensuring we prioritize areas that need the most focus. My lessons are tailored to the student’s preferred learning style but generally follow this structure:

1. Recap and Review: Revisiting key points from the previous session and assessing understanding.

2. New Content: Introducing and explaining new material, ensuring comprehension and application.

3. Exam Preparation: Tackling exam-style questions while honing exam techniques, with a focus on strategies to achieve top marks.

4. Follow-Up Practice: Adding tailored exam questions and resources for independent study after each lesson.

Additionally, I provide focused revision sessions for upcoming tests and mock exams to help students consolidate their knowledge.

Admissions Tutoring

I also offer specialized tutoring for university admissions. This includes reviewing personal statements, enhancing interview techniques, covering medical ethics and current affairs, and preparing for the UCAT.
