About Karishma
Hi there!
I am a practicing medical doctor with over a decade of tutoring experience. I completed my medical degree (MBBS with distinction) at Barts and the London School of Medicine and my undergraduate degree (BSc Hons, first class) in Neuroscience at University College London. I have published widely in various scientific journals and textbooks.
I tutored throughout my time in higher education, and was able to help students foster their interests and achieve their academic goals. I am continuing to tutor on the weekends, although now at a reduced frequency due to work commitments.
I help students with medical and non-medical university application essays and interviews. I tutor in Biology for A-level and IB-level students, as well as Coordinated/Combined Sciences (Biology, Chemistry, Physics) and Mathematics at (I)GCSE and KS3 students. I am passionate about what I teach and am completely invested in my students' academic journeys!

General lessons:
As everybody has different strengths and weaknesses, I aim to create lesson plans that tackle student-specific learning objectives in a systematic way. I focus predominantly on revision strategy and exam technique. I am able to breakdown large, difficult concepts into digestible chunks that are more easily understood and remembered. Once the material is condensed and understood, we will work on tackling exam questions. I have curated my own set of past paper questions for the different exam boards, and we will work through these questions together going over exam skills and techniques.
Personal statements, essays and applications:
I offer in-person or offline feedback. Depending on your preference, we can work through the essay together or I can review your essay and provide you with line-by-line annotated feedback and overall guidance. Following this, students often like to make changes to their draft and send their new draft back to me to review a second time. I am happy to respond to ongoing queries about their feedback and progress.
Interview preparation:
I have considerable experience with medical school interview preparation. I ask that my students email me their personal statement in advance and let me know their preference for MMI, panel or Oxbridge interview style for the sessions. During my sessions l cover a range of standard, unique and challenging questions. I coach my students through their responses to these questions, ensuring that their answers show critical thinking and address key topics. We also work to improve verbal and communication skills and interview behaviour.

Perfect! A Great Tutor
Karishma has been tutoring my daughter for only about 2 months and she already feels confident in A level Biology. My daughter says that she can easily simplify difficult topics which makes it easier for her at school. She takes her time to make sure that she understands the content and provides her with many exam questions to strengthen her knowledge. I highly recommend her.

Ms. Karishma is a very patient teacher. She always explains all the vocabularies that I don’t understand in the passages. She also speaks Chinese, so when I can’t understand her meaning, she will explain it in Chinese, which makes me can fully understand the passages.
Karishma helps both my children (year 6 and 8) with their English studies. She has a strong subject knowledge, and has helped them develop their vocabulary, reading comprehension, and writing abilities. My children are very comfortable with her and ask questions without hesitation. Their teachers have informed me that they can see their improvement at school.
Karishma has been a big help to my daughter Lauren in the last year. She went through the entire Biology curriculum with Lauren, and helped her with her university applications. This really helped to boost her confidence and ease her stress. We are very thankful for all of Karishma's help.
Karishma has been my tutor for a year now. She assisted me with learning and understanding the material for A-level Biology. I wasn't very confident with the subject to start out with but with her help I feel as though my understanding of the subject has improved a lot. Karishma helped me a lot with my exam technique and getting easy marks that I would miss. I recommend her as a tutor for any student that is looking to improve their scores!
Karishma was very affable and informative in our first session together. She made me feel comfortable and assured that she had a plan for my success. She came prepared and knowledgable in my subject; plus provided me with the necessary resources, advice,and support needed.
We have booked Karishma several times now. My son had her for A-level biology classes, and my daughter for GCSE Science and English classes. My kids enjoy having her teach them and they feel she is very friendly and approachable, but also detailed and great at explaining the subjects they don't understand. She is a regular with us and we highly recommend her.
I had Karishma as my IB Biology tutor. I Initially I found it quite difficult to remember all the content in the course and was predicted a 5. I had lessons twice a week during which Karishma managed to to break down complex processes into more manageable chunks.. She gave me some cool tricks (for example mnemonics) to remember tricky things that I still remember today. She also always replied to questions I sent outside of class time.
Karishma is a long term tutor of mine. She helped me with my IGCSE Science and then with IB Biology and Chemistry. As a tutor she is extremely knowledgable and detailed, and goes out of her way to help her students. She commits to her students in the long run.
Karishma is a medical student enrolled on the MBBS programme at Barts and The London SMD. She has successfully completed her first year of the course. She has proven that she has the academic ability to succeed and it able to manage her work load. She can work effectivelt as part of a team but can also work independently when required. She has excellent communication skills. She is a well rounded individual with a caring nature, making sure that everyone is included in the learning expereince.
