About Abdullah

Specialist UCAT/BMAT/TSA and University Admission Tutor

***UCAT/BMAT/TSA and University Admission Enquiries Only Please***

N.B. I am interested in working with students and parents who are seeking the highest quality admissions exam preparation and univeristy application guidance.

Hello! I'm a medical doctor recently graduated from the University of Oxford Medical School and a professional admissions coach with a track record of seven years which speaks for itself. These days I mainly focus on outreach as well as BMAT/UCAT/TSA prep over the summer.

I went to Oxford in 2015 where I've spent the past seven years having earned a BA in Philosophy, Politics and Economics and recently finishing my medical degree. I got into my first choice medical school at my first attempt and have since been helping other students do the same. I'm a proven exam-acer having scored in the top 1.5% for the BMAT, top 2% for the UCAT and the top decile for the United States Medical Licensing Exam (also an MCQ exam). I used to teach BMAT and UCAT preparation courses for some bigger admissions companies but lost faith in the poor quality of their courses. So I now teach my own classes based on my own distinct style and years of experience during which I've come to know these exams inside-out.

***Testimonials***
I cannot recommend Abdullah highly enough. He is a first rate educator, with the ability to make material crystal clear, achieved only through true understanding and mastery of a subject! Abdullah has the ability to elucidate content and provide clarity, solidity, and extension which aren’t accomplished in the classroom. If you want to achieve material progress, there is no other tutor!
14/07/2020 Mrs Katherine (Student’s Mother)

Sitting the BMAT is no easy feat, but Abdullah's attentive guidance provided me with the reassurance and confidence I needed to give it my best shot. The advice he gave allowed me to improve massively; his tips for Section 1 helped me learn about the methodology behind answering the questions, and his thorough marking and analysis of my Section 3 essays proved invaluable on exam day. I can't thank him enough for his punctuality, flexibility and understanding in addressing all of my concerns, and would recommend him to anyone planning to sit the BMAT. 08/11/2020 Mr Ronan (BMAT Tutee)

I strongly recommend Abdullah to anyone who is looking to take the UCAT/BMAT, and applying to medical school in general. Abdullah helped me so much with my UCAT preparation, and helped me get a score of 700+, which I more than happy with. He worked really hard to thoroughly teach me the techniques for each section specifically. The lessons are easy to understand, and he didn’t stop until I was completely confident with each type of question. If it wasn’t for Abdullah, I definitely wouldn’t have done so well!
Thank you! 29/08/2020 Miss Leenah (UCAT Tutee)

A truly amazing tutor! Abdullah is very kind, knowledgeable and has a level of commitment I’ve never seen in anyone else. He taught us techniques to enhance our efficiency in the BMAT, and made sure that we all had an excellent understanding before moving onto the next topic. Overall, a fantastic experience, and I really appreciate the time and effort Abdullah put in to ensure that my BMAT score was the best it could be! He is one of the finest tutors I’ve ever worked with and he has my unreserved recommendation. 02/11/2020
Mr Abith (BMAT Tutee)

This tutor not only helped me acquire the correct technique to tackle my UCAT exam, but through their support and expertise, they made my exam preparation a lot less stressful (and somewhat fun!). I knew I could go to them for help with my practice when I asked for it. A very professional and organised tutor, who gave informative and well-structured tutorials. I’m very happy that I chose you as my UCAT tutor, thank you so much! :)
10/08/2020 Miss Morgan (UCAT Tutee)

Abdullah is a tutor who knows the topics he teaches very well, and is able to explain these in a way that helps you understand it quickly. He is very patient in his teaching style and always ensures that everyone understands the topic. He focuses on building a core understanding which I found to be very helpful for the BMAT. I would definitely recommend his tutoring
07/11/2020 Mr Adam (BMAT Tutee)

Abdullah has all the qualities of an outstanding tutor - expert, adaptable, patient, considerate, supportive and passionate about the subject. He understood our daughter’s needs perfectly, tailoring a short course to her specific requirements and focusing on methodology and technique to deliver enhanced performance. Thank you, Abdullah! 16/08/2020 Mr David (Father of UCAT Tutee)

Find out more about Abdullah

  • 1) When did you develop an interest in your chosen field and in private tutoring?

    Teaching is both my talent and my passion so it’s unsurprising that I became involved in education since I was a sixth form student myself, at that time focussed on teaching mathematics. I became involved in medical school/Oxbridge admissions during my 3rd year at university at Oxford, working with the medical school’s outreach office. I subsequently worked for various large admissions company but eventually became frustrated by their teaching frameworks and I’ve been an independent tutor ever since.
  • 2) Tell us more about the subject you teach, the topics you like to discuss with students (and possibly those you like a little less).

    I mainly teach Oxbridge and medical school admissions (including UCAT, TSA, personal statement and interview preparation) as well as mathematics and science. I like that working in this area provides an opportunity for a holistic approach to a student’s education at this stage. In terms of specific topics, I enjoy helping students develop the problem-solving skills needed to excel in all sub-sections of the UCAT and TSA exams.
  • 3) Did you have any role models; a teacher that inspired you?

    The single person who stands out as a role model throughout my formal education was a tutor at my college in Oxford. He was a skilled and deep thinker, and he was committed to nurturing this in his students also. His teaching style has left a significant mark on my approach to teaching ever since.
  • 4) What do you think are the qualities required to be a good tutor?

    First and foremost I think mastery of your subject is crucial (although this is only a necessary and certainly not a sufficient condition). After this the most important quality is communication skills as this is the foundation of the tutoring relationship.
  • 5) Provide a valuable anecdote related to your subject or your days at school.

    A memory from my school days that stands out is definitely the time a teacher used a computer simulation when teaching us about conditional probability. It made me realise the importance of intuition building when teaching difficult concepts, which is highly relevant to admissions tests.
  • 6) What were the difficulties or challenges you faced or still facing in your subject?

    I think sourcing high quality practice materials is becoming an issue. There has been an explosion in only purchasable practice questions but the quality of questions can be very poor.
  • 7) Do you have a particular passion? Is it teaching in general or an element of the subject or something completely different?

    Teaching is definitely my passion, broadly speaking. Even my medical careers, teaching is becoming a big part of it too.
  • 8) What makes you a Superprof (besides answering these interview questions :-P) ?

    Above all, I think its my vast experience in teaching these subjects that makes me a superprof. As mentioned above, being an expert in a subject is not sufficient. The time I’ve spent working with all sorts of students and the experience I’ve gained over the years is also invaluable.
