Joshua X.

Hi, my name is Josh. I am a fully qualified NHS doctor and Imperial College London graduate, tutoring GCSE and A-level Biology and Chemistry alongside medical school applications. Since 2020 I have taught 43 students across more than 1,500 hours, and I am also a published researcher in cardiovascular medicine, with a particular interest in heart failure and prevention.

I began tutoring while studying at Imperial and have taught continuously since. I graduated MBBS in 2025, was awarded the President's Scholarship for outstanding academic achievement, and hold Distinctions in Medical Science and Clinical Practice alongside a First Class intercalated degree in Endocrinology. I have just completed my first year working as a doctor in the NHS.

I have worked with:

• Students starting A-level sciences and finding the jump from GCSE steeper than expected

• Students who know the content but lose marks on application and extended-response questions

• Students preparing for the UCAT

• Applicants writing personal statements and preparing for MMI and panel interviews

• Applicants without family or school experience of the medical admissions process

I focus on understanding over memorisation, and on building the transferable thinking that holds up under exam pressure.

My sessions follow a consistent structure. I teach through questions rather than lectures, because I want to find exactly where a student's thinking breaks down before trying to fix it. Patching the wrong gap is wasted effort.

The first half of each session is spent in conversation against the specification: probing current understanding, identifying misconceptions, and filling in foundations properly.

The second half applies that knowledge under exam conditions, working through past paper questions together on an interactive whiteboard, so students are not absorbing information passively but learning to apply it in the way that actually earns marks.

The goal is for students to leave each session not just better informed, but thinking more clearly and independently. I want the improvements to outlast the tutoring.
