I qualified with a BSc(Hons) in Neuroscience and MBBS degree from Barts and The London School of Medicine and Dentistry. I graduated with triple distinctions (top 10% of medical school cohort), St. Bartholomew's Hospital Weitzman Memorial Prize in Cardiology, Strauss Prize in Psychological Medicine, Peter Enzor/Sir John Zochonis Scholarship (neuroscience), EJ Ball Scholarship (neuroscience) and Rod Flower Scholarship (neurogastroenterology). I was shortlisted (top 3 nationally) as Medical Student of the Year 2019 by the Royal College of Psychiatrists.

I was appointed a Clinical Research Fellow at the Wingate Institute of Neurogastroenterology, Barts before completing basic medical training at the Royal Free Hospital, London. I was awarded an NIHR-funded Academic Clinical Fellowship (starting August 2022) with dual run-through training in gastroenterology and general medicine.

I have a deep interest in medical education and medical research. I have published over 10 book chapters and scientific articles to-date, in fields that also relate to medical research and pedagogy. My research has featured on the front cover of international medical journals (Journal of Anatomy - April 2020 edition, Butt et al). My first-author research published in the British Journal of Psychiatry Bulletin was selected as Article of The Month June 2019. I have presented my research at national and international conferences.

Tutoring Experience

I have over 1500 hours of teaching experience which spans over 7 years. Over that time I have taught over 150 medical students, many of whom have gone onto achieve merits and distinctions in their final MBBS exams. I have also supported students who have not passed modules and are at risk of not progressing into the next year of medical school.

I was appointed Teaching Representative at the Royal Free Hospital in September 2020 and, in this capacity, am responsible for co-ordinating postgraduate medical education.

I have a particular interest in communication and clinical skills. Whilst at medical school I was Treasurer of the Clinical Learning and Associated Skills Society (C.L.A.S.S), which helps prepare students for their OSCE exams. I also delivered seminars in general medicine (incl. cardiology, gastroenterology, respiratory medicine and neurology) to students as part of our Medical Education Support Society.

I have taught students from a variety of medical schools, including The University of Edinburgh, Barts and The London (QMUL), Kings College London, Imperial College London, University of Leicester, and Cardiff University. I have also delivered Skype tutoring to students from abroad, including India, Brazil, Spain, Saudi Arabia and Dubai. The majority of my international students are from the United Arab Emirates.

Besides my work in medical school, I also offer UCAS preparation for prospective medical students. I sat on the admissions panel at Barts and The London for three years and can offer one-to-one interview preparation sessions / personal statement assistance to students who plan to study medicine or dentistry at university. I have been invited by Ilford County High School to help students prepare for multiple mini interviews (MMIs) and traditional panel interviews in the past.

I am very passionate about the work I do and have always encouraged my mentees to strive to reach their best in whatever field they wish to pursue. I look forward to working with you to ensure we maximise your potential.

Tutoring Approach

I am grateful to have graduated from medical school with several distinctions and am well-versed in a variety of evidence-based revision techniques to help students revise efficiently. A lot of my work draws on my personal experience whilst at medical school. I present students with the most relevant, exam-focussed information in a digestible format before approaching clinical scenarios and MCQs/SAQs/essays.
