Find Expert Medical Admissions Tutors

How are The Profs' medical admissions tutors selected and vetted for medical school applications?

The Profs runs one of the most demanding selection processes in UK tutoring - only 3% of applicants are accepted as tutors. Every medicine tutor who supports medical school applicants is checked and matched specifically for the medical school application process, the relevant admissions test and the interview format the applicant faces.

• All tutors hold a university degree; 98% hold postgraduate qualifications and 45% hold doctorates
• Every tutor has at least two years' teaching or tutoring experience; the average is more than 10 years
• All tutors undergo identity checks and an enhanced DBS check and KYC verification
• Many tutors are current or former secondary school teachers, examiners, clinicians, or working professionals directly involved in Medicine or medical school admissions
• Tutors are vetted against the exact entry route - A-Level applicants, graduate-entry applicants or international applicants - and the specific admissions test (UCAT (University Clinical Aptitude Test), BMAT (BioMedical Admissions Test), GAMSAT (Graduate Medical School Admissions Test)) and interview format (MMI, panel, Oxbridge-style) required

What experience do The Profs' medicine tutors bring to medical school applicants?

The Profs' medicine tutors combine deep subject knowledge with practical admissions experience. They do more than teach biological concepts - they prepare applicants for the entire medical school application process, from UCAT and BMAT to the personal statement and medicine interview preparation.

• Subject mastery across Medicine, Biology, Chemistry and related sciences at GCSE and A-Level, and specialist support for undergraduate and graduate medical school applications
• Hands-on experience with admissions tests (UCAT (University Clinical Aptitude Test), BMAT (BioMedical Admissions Test), GAMSAT (Graduate Medical School Admissions Test)), admissions interviews including MMI and Oxbridge-style interviews, and personal statement guidance tailored to medical applications
• Practical insight into the expectations of admissions tutors and university panels, with some tutors having served as examiners or admissions tutors themselves
• A structured, evidence-based tuition approach that builds conceptual understanding, exam technique and interview confidence rather than rote learning
• Mock interview programmes, targeted UCAT preparation (including abstract reasoning and situational judgement), and recorded session feedback to track progress
