Ayma A
I had lessons with Ayma to help me prepare for an upcoming medicine interview. Despite the short notice I gave, she was able to fit in several sessions with me and was well prepared for each one, having a clear idea of what to cover. She went through every aspect of medicine interviews such as ethics, data, roleplay and personal skills, and boosted my confidence greatly. She was very kind and patient throughout, even when I struggled a lot with some answers, and she took time to explain everything clearly for me, including some technical and tricky concepts. I really appreciate her help and couldn’t have done my interview without her :-)
