Who we are

Founded by two doctors-in-training who’ve been through it themselves.

Between us, we’ve navigated school-leaver UCAT entry, graduate UCAT entry, and GAMSAT graduate entry - three distinct routes to the same destination.

We’ve sat on interview panels. We know what makes a candidate stand out, and we know the mistakes that close doors.

We built this because we couldn’t find the coaching we wished had existed when we applied. Not a directory of tutors, not a course you watch alone at 11pm - two people who have actually done this, working with you directly, on the specific universities on your list.

Our credentials

Adam Cizek

Co-founder & tutor

I took the long way into medicine. Whilst having achieved an offer for school-leaver medicine, I unfortunately didn't quite get the A-level grades needed. I went on to study a BSc (Hons) in Applied Medical Sciences at Swansea University and eventually applied for 2025 graduate-entry medicine (GEM). I achieved multiple offers from top GEM programmes with vastly differing interview styles, putting me in a unique position to help you achieve your goals.

  • Entry route Graduate entry - GAMSAT, School-leaver offer - UCAT
  • Coaches UCAS applications, Personal statements, MMI, Panel Interviews

Adam Gravelle

Co-founder & tutor

Growing up in rural Dorset, I decided to pursue medicine during my undergraduate degree. Although I didn't have much prior experience, I took the initiative to seek out volunteering roles to confirm it was the right path for me and to build a well-rounded understanding of the profession. I also performed strongly at interview and sat both the GAMSAT and UCAT, scoring 84 in Section 3 of the GAMSAT - placing in the top 2% globally.

Why us

We’re not a tutoring factory.

Real experience across every pathway

School-leaver UCAT, graduate UCAT, GAMSAT - we’ve navigated all three. We don’t advise on routes we haven’t walked.

You work with us directly

Every session is with one of the two people who built this business. No junior tutors, no handoffs, no middlemen.

University-specific, not generic

We research the interview format and values of each school on your list. Tailored preparation is the whole point - not a selling line.

One focus: UK medical admissions

We don’t tutor A-level chemistry or GCSE maths. This is all we do, which means we do it properly.
