Meet your tutor

Hi, I'm Luís.

I'm a final-year medical student at the University of Manchester and a GCSE Maths and Science tutor. I went to The Manchester Grammar School, where I got the top grade in all 11 of my GCSEs and A*A*A*D1 at A-level (Biology, Chemistry, Maths and Economics). So I've been right through the same system your child is in now, and I know what the top grades actually take.

Lessons run live on Microsoft Teams. I use an iPad and Apple Pencil as a shared whiteboard, so it feels a lot like sitting next to each other. The way I teach is simple. I explain a topic clearly, then we work through real exam-board questions together, and every mistake becomes something we learn from.

I went on to study Medicine, graduating First Class from St Andrews, and I'm now in my clinical years at Manchester. Six years of medical training has made me a calm and patient communicator, which is really what tutoring comes down to. I can explain difficult things simply and help a student feel they can do it.

Outside of medicine and tutoring, I'm a keen triathlete and hiker, and I love cooking and getting stuck into a good book. Keeping a proper life outside of studying is part of what I try to pass on to my students too.

What I teach

GCSE & KS3 Maths and Science

Foundation and Higher tier, across all major exam boards (AQA, Edexcel, OCR). Combined and Triple Science welcome.

Maths

Number, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, vectors, graphs and problem-solving, with the exam technique to back it up.

Physics

Forces, energy, waves, electricity, magnetism and space, plus the required practicals and the maths skills examiners like to test.

Chemistry

Atomic structure, bonding, quantitative chemistry, organic chemistry and rates, taught so it makes sense rather than being memorised.

Biology

Cells, organisation, infection, bioenergetics, homeostasis and ecology, taught by someone who uses it every day in medicine.

Medicine Pathway

Applying to Medicine? I've recently been through it myself.

I earned interviews at all four of the medical schools I applied to, including Cambridge, then went on to graduate First Class and win a few academic scholarships before joining Manchester's clinical school. I can help with every stage of the application, from the UCAT right through to the final interview.

  • UCAT top decile nationally
  • BMAT top 5% (when it ran)
01

UCAT Preparation

Section-by-section strategy and timed practice across the four subtests (verbal reasoning, decision making, quantitative reasoning and situational judgement) to push your score into the top band.

02

Interviews & Mock MMIs

The four pillars of medical ethics, your motivation for medicine and current hot topics, building up to full mock MMI circuits as your interview gets closer.

03

Personal Statement & Application

Honest review and redrafting of your written application, including the new structured questions that have replaced the old personal statement essay.

04

Application Strategy

Choosing the right schools for your UCAT score and academic profile, so every one of your four choices counts.

  • £60/hr one-to-one tutoring (UCAT, interviews and application help)
  • £70 mock interview: a full MMI circuit with written feedback
  • £90 personal statement & UCAS application review (written feedback, a redraft and a call)

FAQ

Questions parents ask

How do online lessons work?

Lessons run live on Microsoft Teams. I use an iPad and Apple Pencil as a shared whiteboard, so you can see every step as I write it, much like sitting next to each other. I'll usually ask the student to have a tablet or a printed worksheet to hand so we can work through questions together. In-person lessons in South Manchester are available on request.

Which exam boards do you cover?

All the major ones: AQA, Edexcel and OCR, for both Combined and Triple Science, at Foundation and Higher tier. Just tell me the board and I'll tailor everything to it.

How do payments and rates work?

Nothing is charged when you book. Weekday lessons are £45/hr and weekend mornings (Saturday and Sunday) are £50/hr. After your free consultation I'll send a simple invoice, or you can pay securely by card. You can pay per lesson or save with a block, and blocks stay valid for six months.

What about cancellations and refunds?

Lessons can be rescheduled free with at least 24 hours' notice; cancellations inside 24 hours may be charged. Any unused lessons in a block can be refunded at any point within the six-month validity. Just let me know and I'll sort it out.

What if we need to reschedule?

No problem. Lessons can be moved at no cost as long as I get at least 24 hours' notice.

Do you tutor KS3 / younger students?

Yes. I regularly tutor Years 7 to 9 in Maths and Science to build strong foundations well before GCSE.

Why learn from a medical student?

A couple of reasons. Medical school spends six years training us in how to communicate, which means explaining complicated things simply and putting people at ease, and that is most of what good tutoring is. On top of that, I sat these same exams fairly recently and got the top grades, so I know the material well and I know the exam technique that actually picks up marks.
