Reuben Cordina
Hello, I am Reuben, and I study medicine at Oxford University.
My Story
When preparing for my medical school applications in 2022, I trialed many preparation websites. However, I was disappointed by the pay-walls, price of tutoring, and often found the tutors were out-of-date and misled. Therefore, I set out to create the most extensive and up-to-date free medical resource on the internet as well as very affordable private tutoring.
I achieved 3120 Band 1 in the UCAT and 18.2 in the BMAT and received 4 medicine offers from Oxford, Imperial College London, Edinburgh and Bristol. I have several years of experience in tutoring and I reached the national finals in public speaking/debating. Therefore, wherever you are on your journey to medical school, I am here to help!
