“Harry got my UCAT up to 2,590, working through the sections I kept dropping marks on week by week. Gemma then ran my interview practice so the MMI stations didn't catch me out, and Dr Akash mentored me the whole way through. I'm off to King's for Medicine.”

What our tutors say
A few words from tutors already on the team, on the mentoring, the hours and the students.
“I had tutored for another company before this and the difference is the mentoring. There I was handed a student and left to get on with it. Here my mentor is a qualified dentist who helped me plan my first sessions and still checks in now, so whenever I am stuck on how to explain something there is someone to ask.”
“The flexibility is why I have stayed. I set my own availability around placement and exams, and when I have wanted to pick up more hours the team has filled my diary quickly. In busier months I have dropped back to a couple of students without it ever being awkward.”
“The students are the best bit. They turn up having done the work, they ask good questions, and hearing that one of them has an offer is easily the highlight of my week. The team behind it is lovely too. People actually help each other out rather than it feeling like an agency.”
Beyond the UCAT
We are also building our team for the other admissions tests. You do not need a UCAT score for any of these roles: the form asks about your own result in the test you would tutor.

Common questions about becoming a UCAT, personal statement or interview tutor with us.
How do I become a UCAT tutor?
To become a UCAT tutor with us, fill in the application form on this page. We look for a strong academic record, a high UCAT score and a genuine passion for helping applicants. We are selective: if your application is shortlisted, you will be interviewed by one of our mentors before joining the team.
Can current medical, dental or veterinary students apply?
Yes. Many of our tutors are current medical, dental and veterinary students, alongside qualified doctors, dentists and vets. Tutoring is a flexible, paid role that fits around your studies, so it is a popular choice for students who recently sat the UCAT and want to help the next cohort succeed.
What tutoring jobs and subjects are available?
We hire tutors for the UCAT, personal statements, medicine and dentistry interviews (including MMI), veterinary SAQ, GAMSAT, IMAT, ESAT, TMUA, TARA and LNAT, A-Level Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Maths and Further Maths, and GCSE Maths and sciences. You choose the areas you tutor based on your own strengths and experience.
Do I need a UCAT score to become a tutor?
No, unless you studied medicine or dentistry, where we ask for it because that is where our UCAT tutors come from. If you studied anything else, the form does not ask for a UCAT score. Whatever you studied, for each admissions test you would tutor (GAMSAT, IMAT, ESAT, TMUA, TARA or LNAT) the form asks for your own score and the year you sat it.
Do you have medicine interview tutoring jobs?
Yes. Medicine interview tutors run mock MMI and panel interviews and coach applicants on ethics, NHS hot topics and answer structure. The role suits medical students and doctors who performed well in their own interviews and enjoy mentoring. Apply through the form on this page and tick interview tutoring.
Do you have dentistry interview tutoring jobs?
Yes. Dentistry interview tutors prepare applicants for dental school MMI and panel interviews, including manual dexterity stations and NHS dentistry topics. The role suits dental students and dentists. Apply through the form on this page and tick interview tutoring.
Can I tutor A-Level Biology, Chemistry or Physics?
Yes. We hire A-Level Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Maths tutors for one-to-one online lessons. Strong A-Level grades and the ability to explain concepts clearly matter most, and many of our medical and dental student tutors teach A-Level sciences alongside UCAT tutoring.
Do you hire GCSE tutors?
Yes. We hire GCSE Maths, Biology, Chemistry and Physics tutors for online lessons. It is a good starting role if you are earlier in your degree, and you can add UCAT or interview tutoring later as you gain experience.
How much do UCAT tutors get paid?
We pay competitively for every tutoring role. The exact rate depends on your experience and the type of tutoring you do, and we discuss pay openly with you after the interview stage, if you are successful. Many roles are one-to-one and flexible, so you can take on as much or as little as your schedule allows.
Is the tutoring remote or in person?
Almost all of our tutoring is online, so you can work remotely from anywhere in the UK. Sessions are arranged directly around your availability and your students' needs.
Do I need previous tutoring experience?
Previous tutoring or mentoring experience is helpful but not essential. What matters most is a strong academic record, a high UCAT score and real enthusiasm for supporting applicants. We support you once you join, both in your tutoring and through your own studies.
How are applications reviewed?
We review applications on a rolling basis and we are selective about who we take on. Because of the high volume of interest we receive, we cannot reply to every applicant individually, but we will email you to arrange an interview if you are shortlisted.
