4.9/5 · 1,500+ verified reviews

“Going through the process of taking a history with Syed was super helpful, I really feel like I better understand the role of a GP. He was incredibly charismatic and went into a lot of detail about everything we asked. He was more than happy to help however he could. Aayesha's simulated ED was really interesting. She is an amazing teacher and really portrayed the importance of compassion in patient doctor relationships.”

DM Daisy McAlpine 5-Star Trustpilot Review

“Dr. Madeline and Bukhari taught us the specialities of Ward round and Radiology. Madeline was a great teacher guiding us the steps to follow in ward rounds with different scenarios. Bukhari taught us how to analyze different types of X-rays. Very fun and entertaining teacher, made me laugh and made anatomy fun.”

CY Carina Yuki 5-Star Trustpilot Review

“I liked how interactive the session was and how it was a group discussion and very informative. The real life situations were very interesting and also helped with problem solving. The radiology session with Dr Syed was very eye opening, the practical session was a good way to look at the day to day life of a radiologist and how they can write up their reports.”

G Grace 5-Star Trustpilot Review

“Dr Bukhari and Dr Madeline gave us lots of insights and information of what it's like to work in a medical field, and we got to experience the hectic environment in a ward. Very good experience, and I learnt a lot both medically and personally :)”

AP Abhinaya Poobalan 5-Star Trustpilot Review

“Dr. Bukhari was such an engaging teacher and his teaching methods engaged ALL of the class which is rare in such lecture subjects. He was insightful and gave us a really good view of what radiology was like as well as his GP talk. I am not considering radiology or GP but he was honestly engaging so much I began to actually think about it.”

LB Lindsey Blanchard 5-Star Trustpilot Review

“I attended 2 sessions with Dr Aayesha, one about emergency medicine and a practical lesson on ward rounds as a doctor. Dr Aayesha made these sessions very interesting as she was a very upbeat speaker. She was very informative , interactive and she happily answered any questions i had regarding the application process. Her time with us gave me a very good insight into medicine, I thoroughly enjoyed her lecture and appreciated her teaching style”
