A Brave Start on the Path to Medicine
Despite being just one year away from her final HKDSE exams at a prestigious girls’ school in Hong Kong, B.C.’s ambition to study Medicine was at a standstill. She had not chosen Chemistry as an elective, a non-negotiable prerequisite for medical school. Unwilling to abandon her dream, B.C. made the courageous decision to jump out of her comfort zone and restart her academic journey entirely, moving to a top independent school in the UK for her A-Levels. This new path required her to take on A-Level Chemistry, a subject completely new to her, from scratch. Determined to succeed from day one, she proactively joined Reagent Academy in the summer before Year 12 to build her foundational knowledge from the very beginning.
Building Excellence Through Comprehensive Support
Over the next two years, B.C. demonstrated incredible dedication. Her consistent work with our specialist Chemistry tutor paid off spectacularly, culminating in an outstanding 4A grades at the end of her AS-levels. Alongside her A-Level tuition, B.C. enrolled in our comprehensive Medicine Preparation Courses, covering everything from admission exam coaching to crafting a compelling personal statement. By December of her final year, she was rewarded with a series of interview invitations from the world’s most prestigious universities. Knowing her ambition was to study at top-tier medical schools like Imperial, UCL, and HKU, we arranged for her interview coaching to be delivered by tutors from these exact university backgrounds. This gave her invaluable, specific support for the unique interview formats at each institution, ensuring her application was flawless and fully prepared for the highest level of scrutiny.
Securing a Place at Imperial College London
B.C.’s journey is a testament to what dedication and expert guidance can achieve. In March of her final year, she received a coveted conditional offer from Imperial College London, alongside with offers from UCL, the University of Aberdeen, and the University of Hong Kong. She went on to achieve a truly exceptional set of final A-Level results: four A*s. Most remarkably, in the subject she had never studied before, Chemistry, she scored an incredible 265 out of 300, a result she described as a mark she had “never got this high”. B.C. proudly accepted her place at Imperial College London, beginning her journey to becoming a doctor and proving that with the right support, any academic challenge can be overcome.
UCAT/BMAT coaching: 我嘅重心擺咗喺BMAT，導師喺上堂嘅時候俾咗好多technique 同埋tips, 另我操卷嘅時候可以慳返啲時間，同埋掌握到答題技巧。亦都係section 1 方面，教我點樣喺問題到搵出答案，令我真係考嘅時候就識得運用呢個技巧去作答。 Interview prep: 由於導師都係由UCL/ Imperial 嘅大學生，佢哋好熟悉interview 嘅structure同埋知道interviewer 會想聽到嘅答案。TUTOR每堂都會準備mock interview俾我，而且會針對我嘅答案去provide suggestions and guidelines（e.g. using some technical terms and NHS values) ，令個答案更加豐富。亦都會比唔同嘅directions 我去諗點樣答個問題。 補習方面： tutor知道我嘅底子比較弱，所以每次都會好詳細咁同我溫返啲concept，喺教到啲比較難明抽象嘅theory嘅時候，佢都會攞啲l生動嘅例子去解釋，令我更加容易明白嗰個topic, 同埋唔會驚咗Chem. 一開始嘅時候成日都會混淆啲concept, 學校做test 嘅時候都唔係好高分，好彩有tutor guide 住我，做好多practice questions去增加我嘅自信。 24/7 service 令我一有問題即刻可以WhatsApp tutor, 咁我就唔使等上堂嘅時候先會先問得到TUTOR亦都會好耐心咁去講解，就算係好夜都會繼續覆，好有心去support 學生！
