Oxford Medicine student and Neuroscience PhD teaches Biology for GCSE, A-level and university students

Irene is an exceptional academic with a track record that speaks for itself. She scored 99% in Verbal Reasoning on the UCAT, placing her among the top scorers in the country, and was awarded two scholarships from Oxford University for Graduate Entry Medicine, where she passed her first year with 84%. She also holds one of the most prestigious PhD scholarships available, from the Wellcome Trust, for her research in Neuroscience, and is an author on two papers published in Nature.

With three degrees and a fourth currently underway at Oxford, Irene brings deep expertise across medicine, UCAT preparation, biology, neuroscience and science more broadly. She has taught extensively, from summer schools to one-to-one tutoring, and genuinely loves it.

Beyond the qualifications, what sets Irene apart is how she teaches. She is one of the kindest and most empathetic tutors you'll meet, and she's deeply committed to making learning feel like a safe, pressure-free space. If you're nervous about tackling something new, she's just as happy to chat about her cat Mochi first, until you feel ready to dive in.

Whether you're prepping for the UCAT, working through medical school content, or exploring neuroscience, Irene combines serious academic rigour with a warm, patient approach that puts students at ease.

I have known Irene for more than a year now, having completed our pre-clinical year of Graduate-Entry Medicine at Oxford together. In that time, I have come to know her well, both as a friend and through her teaching. Pre-clinical medicine was a steep learning curve for me, as I come from a non-biology background, and Irene has helped me understand difficult concepts on many occasions. She has been a constant source of kindness, knowledge, and encouragement. Irene explains concepts clearly, takes the time to understand where someone is struggling, and teaches with patience and empathy. I wholeheartedly recommend Irene to anyone looking for a dedicated and caring medicine tutor.

Irene is a passionate and knowledgeable tutor. She is patient and caring, recognising the strengths and weaknesses of each student and guiding them through the learning process at a well-judged pace, with unfailing support and encouragement. Her sessions are not only remarkably rewarding, but also thoroughly enjoyable!

I would wholeheartedly recommend Irene to anyone wishing to master the ‘hard stuff’ while learning through fun and play. A truly first-class tutor, with Oxford standards!

Irene has a PhD in neuroscience and taught me neuroscience topics. She is really knowledgeable and well informed. I recommend her as a teacher.
