About David
I am DBS-checked, and recently a graduate of The University of Nottingham Graduate Entry Medical (GEM) programme. I am now a junior doctor training and practising in Manchester, UK. I have a gentle and patient demeanour and approach, whilst keeping my tuition quite flexible and fun. My sessions are a safe environment where making mistakes is fine, and corrections are advised in a constructive manner. I do try to customise tuition to your learning style and strength. A strength of mine is explaining concepts that might be deemed complex in simple, digestible terms. Proudest Achievements I have BA (Hons./summa cum laude), MA and PhD degrees prior to my medical (BM BS) degree. I have been privileged to author and co-author scientific publications in peer-reviewed journals resulting from various projects, and I have also presented at various scientific conferences (See (concealed information) Past Experience I have successfully delivered over 300 hours of high-quality medical science and GAMSAT tuition to satisfied students, in addition to provision of tailored tuition in mathematics and sciences for well over 12 years at various levels — from elementary to A-levels. So, I am looking forward to having a one-to-one virtual session with you. And I wish you the very best in your exam preparation and sitting (be it 11+, GCSEs or medical exam).

If you are searching for a reliable and resourceful tutor with extensive international experience in teaching medicine, look no further. I have provided tailored tuition in mathematics and sciences for over 15 years at various levels. More recently (over the past 4 years) I have delivered over 450 hours of high-quality tuition in medicine (covering neuroscience, histology, cell biology, embryology, microbiology, immunology, physiology, etc.) and GAMSAT preparation to satisfied medical students and exam candidates respectively. More recently I have decided to only focus on tuition for medical students at all levels. I have successfully tutored a diverse range of clientele -- from candidates from non-science backgrounds to those with advanced science degrees. I have a gentle and patient demeanour and approach, whilst keeping my tuition quite flexible and fun. My sessions are a safe environment where making mistakes is fine, and corrections are advised in a constructive manner. I do try to customise tuition to your learning style and strength. A strength of mine is explaining concepts that might be deemed complex in simple, digestible terms. Teaching Style My tutoring session utilises a pragmatic, practice-based approach (adapted for medical, GAMSAT, GCSEs, and 11+ exams). The method emphasises the use of numerous practice questions, and using those questions as a springboard to achieve 3 main objectives: 1. to elicit areas of weakness in need of strengthening (e.g., pattern recognition, speed reading, inductive & deductive reasoning or logic, mathematical manipulations and projections); 2. to efficiently explain time-tested medical exams, GAMSAT (or GCSE/11+) tips and principles using concrete questions rather than in abstract form; and 3. to accustom the student’s body and brain to the rigours, challenges, and demands of medical/GAMSAT/GCSE/11+ exams, enabling the candidate to develop necessary endurance, mental focus, and discipline. You will quickly notice (if you haven’t already) that each practice question and test you attempt will boost your confidence and increase competence.

Perfect! I had the distinct pleasure of being tutored by David in my journey through the complex subjects of neuroanatomy and embryology, and I feel compelled to share my extraordinary experience. David is not just a tutor; he is a remarkable mentor, educator, and guide who possesses a profound understanding of these intricate subjects.
From our initial interaction, David’s passion for teaching and his genuine interest in my academic success were evident. He tailored his teaching methods to suit my learning style, ensuring that complex concepts were broken down into manageable and understandable segments. His patient and encouraging demeanor created a learning environment where I felt comfortable asking questions, no matter how trivial they seemed.
David's mastery of neuroanatomy and embryology is unparalleled. He provided clear, concise explanations and utilized a variety of teaching aids and real-life examples to enhance my understanding. His use of diagrams, 3D models, and interactive tools brought these subjects to life, making the learning process both engaging and enjoyable.
What sets David apart is his commitment to his students' success. He went above and beyond to provide additional resources, practice questions, and personalized feedback on my progress. His constructive criticism was invaluable, as it pushed me to strive for excellence and hone my skills.
Under David’s tutelage, I saw a significant improvement in my grasp of neuroanatomy and embryology. His effective teaching strategies and unwavering support played a pivotal role in my stellar performance in the exams. The knowledge and skills I acquired under his guidance have left a lasting impact on my academic journey.
In addition to his expertise and teaching prowess, David’s kindness, empathy, and motivational words provided the encouragement I needed during moments of doubt and stress. His belief in my potential was a constant source of inspiration, driving me to reach heights I previously thought unattainable.
In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend David to anyone seeking an exceptional tutor in neuroanatomy and embryology. His comprehensive knowledge, personalized approach, and dedication to student success make him a standout educator. With David as your tutor, you are not just gaining an instructor; you are gaining a mentor and an advocate who will play a crucial role in your academic and personal development. Thank you, David, for being such an instrumental part of my academic journey and for helping me excel beyond my expectations.- David's response :
Thank you for those touching words, Pinhas. It is an honour to be of assistance to your learning experience.
Perfect! David is an excellent tutor, the sessions are VERY challenging, but he is always encouraging too, and gives the right amount of guidance when needed. He is incredibly knowledgeable and I already feel like I understand GAMSAT a lot more having just a couple of sessions with him
- David's response :
Perfect! David is an excellent tutor. He is extremely dedicated and genuinely wants the best for his students. David has made difficult topics, simple to understand, to a point where I am more comfortable answering questions. As a result of this I have become more confident especially in the Physics area of section 3. He always focuses on how the topic is related to the gamsat which helps avoid knowing or dwelling on unnecessary information.
- David's response :
Perfect! I have been struggling with my S3 on GAMSAT and decided to acquire a tutor after not getting the right grades twice. Having been officially tutored by David today (Free hour last week), I can say that I like his way of teaching. Right away, we focus on S3 fundamentals and do GAMSAT style questions to see where my weakness lies. I appreciate the fact that David is a patient teacher and does not belittle me when I am a bit slow on understanding some concepts.
Moreover, I also like that we have a focus for each session and I am sent away with more work to consolidate my knowledge further. In addition to, reading ahead and doing more questions on the next topic that we are going to focus on.
David's response rate is also great, especially knowing that he is currently a busy medical student also. So far, I am happy with continuing our lessons and it has given me more hope that I can actually pass S3 with better scores next exam.- David's response :
Excellent! David is a very good tutor, he listens to his students and formulates a plan in order for the student to reach their desired academic goals.
- David's response :
Perfect! David is an exemplary tutor. He breaks down the knowledge to make it simpler to one whilst maintaining its difficulty. He is not one to discriminate, hither or humiliate you. Alongside he provides helpful resources that benefits one's self. He is one that motivates you, even when you think it is not possible, which makes him one of the rarity. He strives for the best, and even with limited time, I am confident for my GAMSAT exam.

David was a thorough and hands on GAMSAT tutor which suited my style of learning. I found his planned lessons and explanations really helpful. I recommend him as a tutor.
Dear Sir/Madam,
As a colleague of David in Graduate Entry Medicine at the University of Nottingham, I have had the pleasure to work alongside David since September 2019. He has significant teaching history, and this was portrayed during our Problem-Based-Learning (PBL) sessions where we had a topic to our peers on a weekly basis. He tailored his teaching approach to suit his team in a way where he would discuss the fundamentals of a difficult concept and slowly add the details. He has always done this successfully and efficiently and I must say I have learnt quite a lot of challenging medical concepts that have helped me with exams.
Fortunately, I was on David’s PBL team both before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. During this time, he had effortlessly adapted his teaching style from in-person to online, he kept us engaged and inspired us to maintain the same standards of work ethic.
Moreover, I had the pleasure to work with David in Clinical Skills (the practical approach of Medicine). David always leads by example and helps other colleagues, particularly before exams where we would have a run through of the different types of Clinical Skills and perform mock tests. From this, I can assure you that David’s supportive nature and work ethic will surely guide future minds through exams successfully.
To summarise, David has exceptional work ethic, professionalism, motivation, and resourcefulness. David is always prepared with a great insight into what the student needs to learn and a great aptitude for not only medical school but for teaching too. It was a pleasure to work alongside David and I highly recommend as a tutor.
Yours Faithfully,
