UCAT tutor with a 95th percentile, band 1 score offering personalised strategies and exam-focused practice to help you reach your best possible result.

I am writing to wholeheartedly recommend my friend, Shay, for a position as a UCAT tutor. As someone who navigated the UCAT process alongside him, I can directly attest to both his exceptional aptitude and his natural talent for teaching.

Shay’s own achievement of 2310, placing him in the top 5% of candidates nationally (95th percentile), proves a mastery of the test's content, timing, and psychology. What sets him apart, however, is his analytical approach to his own success. He didn't just do well; he meticulously deconstructed why he did well, developing clear frameworks for each subtest.

I have seen him explain tricky Quantitative Reasoning problems with clarity, tackle time-pressured Decision Making questions with high accuracy, and create effective strategies for the pressured Situational Judgement section. He is incredibly patient, encouraging, and adapts his explanations to different learning styles. Shay is also reliable, well-organized, and brings a calm, confidence-boosting presence that is invaluable for stressed pre-med students.

Shay has the unique combination of top-tier scores and empathetic, communicative skills of a professional. I am confident he would be an excellent mentor to future applicants.
