Tutoring Can Give Students The Edge When Applying To Medical And Dental Schools

Tutoring Can Give Students The Edge When Applying To Medical And Dental Schools MEDICAL AND DENTAL SCHOOLS ANALYSE ADMISSIONS TEST results from a variety of examinations, such as the UCAT, BMAT and GAMSAT, while deciding whether to admit or reject applicants. The test(s) a student must take will vary based on which schools were applied to. What is a common denominator, however, is that the tests are challenging. Students who want to optimise the odds of getting into one of their school choices will need to study hard, and getting help from tutors could give them the edge over competition. Going for academic excellence is one of the keys to achieving the dream of getting into a UK medical or dental school. While these schools do consider other factors beyond academic performance, it's safe to say that the RESULTS OF ADMISSION TESTS matter greatly. Students should get help with maths and science Many careers in medicine, medical science, and dentistry require strong educational credentials, and these credentials can't be obtained without post-secondary degrees. Before a student can become a doctor, medical scientist or dentist, they must build a strong foundation in maths and science. The earlier a student develops abilities and knowledge in these vital subjects, the better. Parents should encourage children who dream of being doctors, scientists or dentists to work hard at maths and science right from the start, and tutoring in these subjects can help keep them on track. Tutors are available to help at all levels, from primary levels to adult learner/casual learner, and everything in between. Of course, it's helpful if students have knacks for these two subjects, and most students who gravitate towards medicine and dentistry do have some natural talent in maths and science. Sometimes, though, natural aptitude is not enough because students DON'T KNOW THE RIGHT WAYS TO STUDY, or need support from tutors in order to grasp concepts, build academic confidence, and do well on tests. Why are maths and science so important? Doctors need to understand plenty of mathematical processes in order to calculate correct dosages of medication, conduct tests, AND DESIGN TREATMENT PLANS. Dentists must use scientific and mathematical processes in their daily duties, whether they're creating mouthguards that KEEP TEETH PROTECTED FROM INJURY, administering local anaesthetics, or doing cleanings or fillings. Doctors and dentists need superb maths and science skills in order excel in the field. Good English skills are important too Yes, maths and science matter a lot, but so do great communication skills, both in writing and in conversation. Students who develop top-notch English skills will find it easier to do well when they take admissions tests for medical and dental schools. Students who are great at maths and science but fall short in English may find that they don't do as well on admissions tests as they might. English tutors provide assistance online or in person to help students master grammar, syntax, spelling, essay skills, and so many other aspects of English classes and examinations. Working with a tutor is one of the wisest ways to edge out the competition when it comes to getting admitted to medical or dental school, and there will be competition. Students who are disciplined about academics, and open-minded enough to welcome talented and patient tutors into their lives, will find that they reap the rewards of their hard work on examination days. Tutors guide students down the educational pathways that lead to medical and dental careers.

Memorable teach abroad moments from the UAE!

Memorable teach abroad moments from the UAE! We recently asked our teachers who are currently teaching abroad: “What’s your most memorable teach abroad moment?” With the recent interest of our Middle East teaching positions - particularly those in the UAE - we’ve decided to share our favourite stories from teachers currently teaching there! Donald, from Georgia, teaching in the UAE “The most memorable experience for me was the first day I walked in the class and was greeted by the students. Right then my fire for teaching was burning brighter again and it truly felt like I earned another chance to make a huge positive impact on children learning. Teaching abroad has changed my family’s life and has changed my outlook on life.” Raina, from Texas, teaching in the UAE “My most memorable experience teaching abroad so far is making life-long friends from around the world! I have come to realize that no matter where you are from, many of us are like-minded individuals that immediately form connections through this experience. My friends, even though I have not known them long, are my family. When you change your life with amongst a group of strangers doing the same as yourself, you tend to stick together no matter the differences. I absolutely love learning about everyone's various cultures, languages, and countries.” LaShari, from North Carolina, teaching in the UAE “I live and work 3 hours outside of the city of Abu Dhabi in a very small traditional desert community. The most memorable moment so far: one day I was leaving work and camels came running down the road while I was driving! Camels roam free so drivers must be careful.” Interested in teaching in the UAE? We’re currently hiring 1000 English teachers. If you have a Bachelor’s degree, teaching experience, and a ESL certificate and/or teaching license, you could qualify. Learn more about UAE English positions
