Our Story

At Made it to Medicine, we’re passionate about making academic success and medical careers accessible to everyone, especially those from lower socio-economic backgrounds. We understand the challenges these students face, so we’ve priced our tuition services below the average to make quality support available to more people. Our co-founders Maddie and Hannah are passionate educators who strive to work with their students to reach their full potential.

Our founding principles guide the way that our tutors work:

Equitable

An equitable tutoring service ensures that all students, regardless of their background or circumstances, have access to high-quality educational support. This approach recognizes and addresses the diverse needs and challenges that students may face, such as socioeconomic barriers, learning disabilities, or limited access to resources.

Equity in tutoring is crucial because it helps level the playing field, providing every student with the opportunity to succeed academically and reach their full potential. By offering personalised and inclusive support, equitable tutoring services can help bridge gaps in knowledge, boost confidence, and foster a love for learning. This not only improves individual outcomes but also contributes to a more just and inclusive educational system overall.

Collaborative

A collaborative tutoring service is important because it fosters a holistic and comprehensive learning environment. By involving multiple stakeholders—students, tutors, parents, and educators—collaborative tutoring ensures that all aspects of a student’s educational journey are addressed. This approach promotes open communication, allowing for a better understanding of each student’s unique needs, strengths, and areas for improvement.

Collaboration in tutoring also encourages the sharing of diverse perspectives and teaching strategies, enhancing the overall learning experience. It helps build a supportive community where students feel encouraged and motivated. Additionally, collaborative efforts can lead to more innovative and effective educational solutions, ultimately improving academic outcomes and helping students develop essential skills for lifelong learning and success.

Build lifelong learners

It is important for tutors to build lifelong learners because this fosters a mindset of continuous growth and adaptability, essential in an ever-changing world. Encouraging lifelong learning helps students develop critical thinking, problem-solving skills, and a curiosity-driven approach to education, enabling them to thrive in diverse and dynamic environments.

Our tutors will help students to build good revision techniques. These are integral to empower students to take charge of their learning, reinforcing knowledge retention and understanding. Effective revision strategies, such as active recall, spaced repetition, and varied practice, not only prepare students for exams but also instil habits that promote self-directed learning. By mastering these techniques, students learn how to learn efficiently, making the acquisition of new skills and knowledge a seamless and ongoing part of their lives. This foundation not only leads to academic success but also equips students with the tools needed for personal and professional growth throughout their lives.
