About the tutor

Taha Alam holds an MBBS, and before that he left an international school in Riyadh with 3 A* at A-Level and 7 A* with 1 A at O-Level. He has since completed clinical rotations in gynaecology and obstetrics, medicine, paediatrics and surgery at a major teaching hospital, assessing patients and managing wards.

That clinical work is what students get in his lessons: theory arrives attached to a real case, so a mechanism is remembered rather than recited. He has taught for 5 years and more than 20,000 hours, and he is patient with students who need a concept broken down twice. He also serves as Director of Media and Marketing for a students' patient safety organisation and campaigns on out-of-hospital cardiac arrest awareness.

Education

Taha Alam holds a Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) with clinical rotations in gynaecology and obstetrics, medicine, paediatrics and surgery, and achieved 3 A* at A-Level and 7 A* at O-Level.

Teaching style

He teaches biology the way a clinician thinks about it, moving from the case to the mechanism.

  • Clinical insight

    Real hospital cases give theory a context students remember.

  • Exam-focused preparation

    His own 3 A* at A-Level and 7 A* at O-Level inform how he drills examination technique.

  • Structured revision

    Preparation is built around first-hand knowledge of international examination standards.

  • Clear communication

    Directing media for a patient safety organisation has sharpened how he explains technical material to non-specialists.

  • Patient approach

    He is content to rebuild a difficult concept from the beginning as many times as it takes.
