1-Day Oxford and Cambridge Medical School Interview Course
Our 1-Day Interview Course is designed for students applying for medical school at Oxford and Cambridge. Oxbridge medical school interviews are different from other schools, and test lateral thinking, scientific ability and natural talent. Let us help you shine.
Taught by experienced doctors and admissions tutors, the course combines teaching, practice, and feedback to ensure you walk into your interview fully prepared.

The benefit of group courses for medical school interview preparations
Whilst it's very useful to learn the content needed for medical school interviews in your own time or via 1:1 lessons, one of the most useful things you can do to prepare for a medical school interview is join an online small-group course.
Our small-group courses at T&M will have a maximum of just 10 students, meaning that everyone will get a chance to speak. On top of this, you have the opportunity to see how other students are approaching and answering questions - this must not be underestimated. Medicine is a collaborative career which is fuelled by learning from each other.

Why Choose T&M Tutoring for your medicine interview prep?
Most medicine entry businesses are large companies with thousands of students - applicants become nameless individuals who are taught generic techniques. At T&M, we offer a fully personalised service - all our students have meetings with either Tom or Miriam and have a personal WhatsApp group just for you where we discuss your application and offer support 24/7.
Because we know all our students, we give you specific ways to play to your own strengths. For example, we have helped students craft personal statements which express their interest for medicine in ways they did not previously feel relevant. With our interview preparations, we make sure to work on our students strengths rather than teach them generic facts. We also spend a lot of time helping students with their confidence, speaking skills and expressive abilities. If you are someone who needs help forming sentences which stand out, we are the perfect people to help you.
This style of teaching and training has meant that since we started T&M Tutoring in 2022, all of our students have gained offers for medical school.
