Testimonials
Real outcomes from students supported across UCAT preparation, interview coaching, and the wider medical school admissions process.
“I started off overwhelmed by UCAT and didn’t know where to begin. The support I received completely changed my approach, especially for QR and Decision Making. My score improved massively in a few weeks, and I ended up achieving a score I never thought was possible. The teaching was clear, motivating, and genuinely personalised.”
“I’d used other resources before, but nothing compared to the one-to-one guidance here. Every session was structured, high-yield, and focused on what I specifically needed to improve. My timing, confidence, and strategy all improved, and I achieved a top UCAT score that helped me secure multiple interview offers.”
“My first impressions of Ashley were mainly about how willing to help he was, with a teaching style that was very adaptable and understandable for me who had no prior knowledge.”
I cringe thinking about how bad my first ever answer to the dreaded ‘why med’ question was, and I still remember his constructive feedback that filled the many gaps in my initial answer to mould it into the best possible response.
All things considered, I spent a reasonably short amount of time doing interview prep with Ashley, around 20 hours total, but regardless of that I felt incredibly confident with all possible stations and situations and ended up with 4/4 offers from Imperial, which I now attend, Queen Mary’s, King’s College, and Southampton.
Overall I am incredibly thankful for all the help he provided, and cannot recommend him enough as a tutor.”
