Prepare your child for medical school admission

When considering a hotel reservation, who gives the most honest and informative insights? The hotel website, the travel agent or a guest who has already stayed there?

Personal insights are invaluable, so why base your choice of medical school solely on the information on their website or the advice of a recruitment agent?

Search university mentors originally from your country

Advice from those who have succeeded

Finding the medical school that best suits your child is crucial as it is one of the most important decisions and biggest financial commitments of their lives.

Getting honest feedback from someone already studying at the school can help ensure your child makes the right choice.

Apply for Medicine connects your child directly with students who have successfully navigated the application process and are studying at prestigious medical schools around the world. Unlike hotel guest reviews, our mentors have usually been studying at their medical school for several years, which means your child will benefit from intricate knowledge of their course and campus. They will also gain valuable advice on how to optimise their application to gain that all-important place.

Finding the most suited university course for your son or daughter is likely to be one of the most important decisions and biggest financial commitments of their life – not just a hotel booking.

Search mentors that speak your language

Multiple mentors, multiple insights

With Apply for Medicine, you can connect with several mentors at the same time. Choose a mentor from the same country so you can communicate in your native language, or search for mentors at each of the medical schools your child is considering to benefit from diverse opinions and insights.

Growing your child’s network of contacts at medical schools will leave you questioning if you need a traditional recruitment agent at all.

You are the average of the 5 people you spend the most time with.

Ensure at least one of these 5 is a medical school application mentor for your son or daughter.

FAQs

How do I know the mentor/tutor I find is qualified to assist my child?

Most of our mentors have been, or still do, tutor via traditional tutoring companies. However, you will read about and see some of the credentials of each mentor before you book your free discovery call with them, where you can discuss their suitability and decide if they are a good match. It also depends on how you define 'qualified' because some parents might be looking for a mentor who is also from their country and is studying a certain course. Others are looking for qualified tutors to help with studies or homework, so where the tutor currently studies may not be important.

What will the benefits of this platform cost me?

Some mentors offer initial bookings free of charge, which other more experienced tutors may charge from £10 per hour. As we are a marketplace, once you have registered all mentors display their fees when booking your appointment and you will see these after you have registered. Mentors and tutors receive 100% of their displayed fees, so unlike a traditional tutoring company we do not take a commission from this so you also help your mentor in their journey at university too. In addition, since most of our tutors currently work for other tutoring companies, you may be making a considerable cost saving for exactly the same service!

Will my child be taught and guided in a safe and secure environment?

Absolutely, we take privacy, safeguarding and security very seriously. All mentors and applicants (you) agree to a Codes of Conduct; all mentoring and tutoring sessions are recorded for added security and reference purposes. Most of our mentors and tutors are experienced at what they do, because they have been, or still do, tutor via traditional tutoring companies, so they are well rehearsed in the services they offer.

In addition, our mentors and tutors are also being assisted in their future career prospects and internships, so they are committed to promoting their own ‘personal brand’ of quality.

How do you differ from a traditional tutoring company?

We are the world's first student marketplace connecting applicants at different stages of their application journey: from school, through university, all the way to employment.
