Who this is for
This service is for students applying to medicine, dentistry, veterinary science, biomedical science or other science-related degree programmes. It is suitable for first-time UCAS applicants in Year 12 or 13, reapplicants who want to strengthen a previous application, and graduate-entry candidates approaching medicine from a different first degree.
The credential that matters
I received an offer from UCL Medical School, which consistently ranks among the most selective in the UK. I can give you specific, honest feedback because I know what a strong medicine personal statement looks like from both sides. I will tell you what is generic, what admissions tutors discount, and how to replace it with something that actually reflects who you are. No templates. No standard structures. Just feedback that makes your application better.
How it works
Discovery call
We talk through your experiences, motivations, target universities and timeline. This shapes everything that follows.
Draft 1 & feedback
You write a first draft. I provide detailed tracked comments — structure, content, specific phrasing.
Revision cycles
Typically 2–4 more drafts, each with feedback. Every iteration is more refined and more distinctly yours.
Final check
A final read for consistency, word count and UCAS format before you submit.
“The feedback I received from Izem was unlike anything from a generic tutor. She told me exactly what was not working and why — and the changes she suggested made the statement sound more like me, not less. I got three offers including my first choice.”
Frequently asked
How many drafts do most students need?
Usually 3–5 drafts. A first draft is often too long, too generic or relies too much on listing rather than reflecting. By draft 3 or 4, students typically have a strong statement with a clear narrative. Some students who start early and have more time go through more iterations — and the extra work shows.
What should I include in a medicine personal statement?
The strongest medicine personal statements cover: genuine motivation (not just "I want to help people"), reflection on clinical work experience (what you observed, what it taught you), non-clinical experiences that reveal relevant qualities, academic interests beyond the curriculum, and evidence of understanding what being a doctor actually involves day-to-day. The difference between a B-grade and an A-grade statement is usually reflection depth.
Do you help with personal statements for subjects other than medicine?
Yes — I work with students applying to biomedical science, dentistry, nursing, pharmacy and related science degree programmes. Each has slightly different conventions and I can advise accordingly.
What if I have not finished my work experience yet?
That is fine — especially if you are starting in Year 12. We can begin planning the structure and discussing your existing experiences, and then incorporate newer work experience as it happens. Starting early does not mean writing a statement before you are ready.
