T&M Tutoring Reviews 15

I’d like to share some details about my experience as a Year 12 student, starting to plan my medicine application. Initially, everything was going well with Tom and Miriam, and I was really satisfied and happy with the tutoring arrangement we had agreed upon.

However, at one point they decided to introduce a third-party tutor without prior discussion. This was unexpected, as the original agreement was that Tom and Miriam would be solely responsible for my lessons. When my mother and I raised this concern, they withdrew the proposal—but shortly afterward, communication stopped entirely. We were told they were “too busy with rotation practice,” and they did not continue the tutoring.

To be clear, the quality of the lessons themselves was not the issue. The main concern was the lack of professionalism in how the situation was handled. Ending communication abruptly—particularly during an important and stressful period for a Year 12 student—was disappointing and disruptive.

Based on this experience, I would not recommend their tutoring services at all, and would be careful when hiring this service.

Tom and Miriam really know the university application process inside out both from an Oxbridge perspective and a wider UK perspective. My daughter had no medical background (as in parents or siblings doctors)
And with their support got offers from three out of her choices. They are polite, supportive and knowledgeable, I couldn’t recommend them highly enough.

Tom and Miriam are fantastic trainers for the UK med school application process. Their pay as you go model allows flexibility and tailored training for students. Their up-to-date knowledge and insights are definite assets. They are friendly and patient as well. Highly recommend!

Tom and Miriam are skilled and encouraging tutors that provide knowledgable insight towards individual universities’ requirements for interview prepping. They are both incredibly patient, easy to work with, and are willing to work at the pace that I find useful - and to focus on areas of improvement especially. I would highly recommend them as tutors to potential parents and students!!

Miriam and Tom were excellent and trusted advisors from UCAT preparation and technique through UCAS form submission and interview preparation. They offer a complete and customised service delivering for our daughter what we’d hoped - a medical school OFFER! Thank you Tom and Miriam.

I highly recommend the tutoring sessions and the mock practice! Really helps prepare you for the actual interview

Tom and Miriam are truly expert in their field. They are very responsive to any requests and can quickly identify where the their support is needed most. If you need a fast intervention that gets immediatte results, I couldn't recommend them highly enough.

I have had lessons with Tom and Miriam for quite some time, from UCAT preparation to personal statements and interview practice, and I can honestly say their knowledge is unmatched. They both have an incredible understanding of what medical schools are looking for and know exactly how to guide students through every stage of the process.

Their strategic approach to the UCAT, application planning and interview technique is second to none. They do not just teach content, they teach you how to think, approach answers and perform with confidence.

I truly believe they are the best at what they do, and I would highly recommend them to anyone wanting to get into medicine!

We had an excellent experience with Tom and Miriam as UCAT tutors for my daughter. From the start, their professionalism and organisation were outstanding, making the whole process smooth and stress-free. They were highly responsive to any questions or requests, always replying quickly and clearly. The teaching materials and resources provided were very thorough and well-structured, giving my daughter plenty of targeted practice. More importantly both Tom and Miriam were brilliant at identifying her strengths and areas for improvement, tailoring each session to focus on what would make the biggest difference. Their encouraging and confidence-building approach really helped my daughter believe in her ability to succeed. Over the course of her preparation, she became more accurate, faster, and much more self-assured in tackling UCAT questions. I would highly recommend both Tom and Miriam to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, professional, and results-focused UCAT tutoring duo.

Tom and Miriam provided excellent tutoring for my son, which enabled him to get a great score for his Ucat. They were patient, knowledgeable and gave him lots of resources, offering excellent learning opportunities and feedback. Thanks everyone.

Very professional and sessions and resources are well organised and planned. All explanations are very clear and support is of exceptionally high quality. With their help I was able to greatly improve my UCAT and was very well supported through the University application process, receiving several offers. Would recommend.

Miriam has been a wonderful tutor in preparing my daughter for her UCAT exam. While the tutoring was an investment, it was absolutely worth it for the confidence and support it gave her. She is very independent and motivated with her studies, but Miriam added real value with brilliant top tips, expert knowledge, and clear answers to questions that I certainly couldn’t have provided myself.

Miriam was kind, encouraging, and at the same time constructively challenging, which was exactly what my daughter needed. Communication with both of us was excellent, and the three 1.5-hour sessions we booked worked perfectly for us.My daughter achieved an excellent score.

Thank you so much, Miriam – we really appreciate your help!

Unbelievable support from their team, for UCAT interviews and the whole application process. They have so many resources and are so passionate about every step, it’s contagious and makes the daunting experience so much more positive and encouraging. Would recommend to everyone!

Tom and Miriam were instrumental getting my daughter into her first-choice medical school. They helped her with the application and then prepared her for her interviews. At first, we contacted them with a few days left to hit an application deadline. Tom responded within hours to our urgent enquiry. As they are successful medical professionals themselves, they understand the system like no other. Their approach is very personalised and tailored to the individual’s strength and weaknesses. Both of them are very friendly and encouraging especially during demanding times. This comes with flexibility working around the student’s busy diaries. I cannot thank them enough and would recommend them to anyone wanting to successfully navigate the complex UK medical school application process.

Miriam and Tom have been absolutely fantastic in helping my son prepare for the UCAT.

Miriam is patient, supportive, and explains things in a way that really clicks for him. She takes the time to make sure he understands each concept before moving on, and her encouragement has done wonders for his confidence.

Tom brings great energy and practical strategies that have really boosted my son’s speed and accuracy. He makes the lessons engaging, and my son always comes away feeling motivated and positive.

They are both professional, approachable, and genuinely care about their students’ progress. I’ve seen such an improvement in my son’s skills and confidence thanks to their guidance.
