About Basheer
I’m a final-year Dental Surgery (BDS) student at the University of Central Lancashire, a First-Class Biomedical Science graduate from Keele University, and an experienced tutor with 6+ years and over 5,000 hours of teaching and tutoring experience.
Before studying Dentistry, I graduated from Keele with First-Class Honours in Biomedical Science, ranking within the top 1% of my cohort. My own journey into Dentistry was highly competitive: I achieved a top 10% UCAT score and ranked within the top 10 candidates in dental school interviews.
Teaching has been a major part of my life for over six years. During that time, I’ve taught and supported 50+ students across thousands of hours of one-to-one and academic teaching, developing an approach that is structured, adaptable and focused on getting results.
I now specialise in Dental School Admissions, MMI & Panel Interviews, UCAT, SJT and undergraduate Dentistry. I’ve helped students successfully secure offers to study Dentistry, including competitive Graduate Entry Dentistry offers, and I also tutor students who are already at dental school with SBAs, OSCEs, clinical reasoning, exam technique and revision strategy.
What I think makes me particularly useful as a tutor is that I understand the entire journey.
I’ve experienced the competitive admissions process myself, completed a demanding Biomedical Science degree at a high academic level, progressed through the academic and clinical stages of Dental School, and spent thousands of hours teaching students with very different abilities and learning styles.
That experience has taught me that high performance isn’t simply about working longer or memorising more information. It’s about knowing what to focus on, how to think, how to revise effectively and how to perform under pressure.
My teaching reflects that. I’m supportive, but I also give honest and specific feedback. If something is limiting your performance, we’ll identify it and work on it. I want students to understand why an answer works, rather than memorising something I’ve told them to say.
For applicants, that means developing into a confident, thoughtful and authentic Dental School candidate rather than sounding rehearsed.
For current dental students, it means turning an overwhelming volume of information into a structured, efficient approach to SBAs, OSCEs, clinical reasoning and university examinations.
Having now supported students from aspiring applicants through to current dental students, I know how transformative the right guidance can be.
Whether you’re trying to earn your place at Dental School or perform at a higher level once you’re there, my goal is to provide the standard of teaching, strategy and individual feedback that I would have wanted throughout my own journey.

My lessons are designed for students who are serious about securing a place at dental school or excelling once they get there.
With 6+ years of teaching experience, 5,000+ hours taught and 50+ students supported, I provide highly personalised, results-focused tuition across Dental Admissions, MMI & Panel Interviews, UCAT, SJT, Personal Statements and undergraduate Dentistry.
I’ve successfully supported students in securing Dental School offers, including highly competitive Graduate Entry Dentistry offers, while also tutoring current dental students through their SBAs, OSCEs and university examinations.
Dental School Admissions, MMI & Interviews
My interview preparation goes far beyond memorising generic model answers. I teach students how to think like a strong candidate — structuring answers clearly, demonstrating sound judgement and communicating confidently when faced with questions they haven’t seen before.
Sessions can include:
* Full MMI and panel mock interviews
* University-specific interview preparation
* Dental ethics and professionalism
* Communication and role-play stations
* Motivation for Dentistry
* NHS Dentistry and current issues
* GDC principles and professional judgement
* SJT-style scenarios and decision-making
* Critical thinking and unfamiliar stations
* Detailed feedback and targeted improvement plans
Mocks are designed to feel realistic and challenging. I identify exactly what is holding your performance back and work with you to turn weaker areas into strengths.
UCAT
UCAT tuition is tailored to the individual student. We identify exactly where marks and time are being lost before developing strategies to improve speed, accuracy, decision-making and exam technique through targeted practice.
Personal Statements & Dental Applications
I provide comprehensive personal statement and dental application support, helping students communicate their experiences, motivation and suitability for Dentistry convincingly while ensuring their application remains authentic and personal.
For Graduate Entry Dentistry, I can also help applicants effectively position their previous degree, experiences and transferable skills for an especially competitive application process.
Current Dental Students – BDS Tutoring
My support doesn’t stop once you receive an offer.
I also tutor current dental students, from earlier academic years through to clinical Dentistry, including:
* SBA and written examination preparation
* OSCE preparation and realistic mock stations
* Clinical reasoning and treatment planning
* Case-based discussions
* Core dental and biomedical sciences
* Revision planning and exam technique
* Active recall and evidence-based revision methods
* Breaking down difficult clinical concepts
* Applying theoretical knowledge to clinical scenarios
* Identifying high-yield and examinable content
* Building effective long-term revision strategies
Rather than simply giving students more information to memorise, I teach them how to learn Dentistry efficiently, recognise what examiners are looking for and apply their knowledge under exam conditions.
A Genuinely Personalised Approach
There is no generic lesson plan.
We begin by establishing your current level, goals and weaknesses. From there, sessions are continually adapted around your progress, with a clear focus on the areas most likely to improve your performance.
My teaching combines understanding, active recall, exam technique, realistic practice and direct individual feedback. The aim isn’t simply to know more — it’s to perform better when it counts.
Whether you’re aiming for your first Dental School offer, a Graduate Entry Dentistry place, a stronger UCAT performance, an outstanding MMI, or preparing for your next BDS SBA or OSCE, you’ll receive structured, experienced and highly personalised support designed to help you perform at your best.

Basheer tutored me for both the MMI interview process and the UCAT, and his support played a significant role in helping me secure a place at dental school. He was extremely knowledgeable, patient and encouraging throughout, and he explained difficult concepts in a clear and practical way.
His MMI preparation was particularly useful. He helped me structure my answers, improve my communication and approach ethical and scenario based questions with much more confidence. He also gave detailed, constructive feedback rather than simply telling me what to say, which helped me develop my own interview style.
For the UCAT, Basheer provided excellent strategies for approaching the different sections efficiently and helped me improve both my technique and time management.
I would highly recommend Basheer to anyone applying for Dentistry or Medicine, particularly students preparing for the UCAT and MMI interviews. His guidance genuinely made a difference to my application, and I am very grateful for his help in getting me into dental school.Basheer has helped me a lot, particularly with MMI preparation! His teaching is excellent and his style of explaining UCAT concepts helps things make sense. I’ve also learnt a lot from him about Dentistry and Medicine more broadly. He has a very warm and welcoming personality and genuinely cares. Out of all the tutors I’ve had, he’s definitely been my favourite, and I’d highly recommend him to anyone applying for Dentistry!
Basheer helped me prepare for my dental school MMIs and honestly made such a difference. He gave really helpful feedback, helped me feel much more confident and made sure I knew how to approach different types of questions. I ended up getting a place at dental school and would definitely recommend him to anyone preparing for their MMI.
Basheer is an excellent dentistry tutor and has been a massive help with understanding the more difficult aspects of the course. He explains topics clearly and breaks down complex concepts, particularly in areas like anatomy, physiology, pathology and dental sciences, into a way that actually makes sense.
What I really appreciate is that he doesn’t just focus on getting you to memorise information. He makes sure you understand the clinical reasoning behind what you’re learning and how it applies to dentistry, which makes it much easier to retain and use in exams and clinical scenarios.
He is very patient, approachable and always willing to go over something again if you’re struggling. His knowledge of dentistry and his ability to explain things from a student’s perspective really stand out. I would definitely recommend Basheer to any dentistry student looking to improve their understanding, exam technique and confidence.Basheer is an outgoing and amazing tutor.
He assisted me with preparation to interview stations (MMI) which has led to me being accepted in dental school.
I really appreciate his hard work and time as he is genuine when giving advice and support.Basheer was honestly such a big help throughout my first year of Dentistry. At the start I found the amount of content quite overwhelming and wasn’t really sure how to revise effectively for exams. He helped me figure out what to focus on, taught me much better revision techniques and went through any topics I was struggling with until I properly understood them.
Having someone who had already been through the same exams and understood what studying Dentistry is actually like was really useful. He was always patient, easy to talk to and explained things in a way that actually made sense. I became much more confident with the course and felt far more prepared going into my exams. I’d definitely recommend Basheer to any dental student, especially those in their first year!Basheer has been absolutely brilliant in helping my son through his dental school application. As a dental student himself, he brought such valuable first-hand knowledge of the entire process, from UCAT preparation and personal guidance through to MMI interview preparation and understanding what dental schools are really looking for in applicants.
His support with the MMI interviews in particular was exceptional. He helped my son develop much more confident and structured answers, worked through different stations and scenarios with him, and gave detailed, constructive feedback after every session. Having someone who has successfully been through the dental application and interview process himself made a huge difference.
What impressed us most was the confidence Basheer gave him. He didn’t just teach him how to answer interview questions – he helped him understand how to communicate his experiences, motivations and suitability for Dentistry naturally and confidently.
Basheer is knowledgeable, patient, approachable and genuinely invested in his students. My son is now on his way to study Dentistry, and Basheer played an important part in helping him get there.
I would wholeheartedly recommend Basheer to any student applying for Dentistry, particularly for UCAT, MMI interview preparation and general dental school application support. Having a successful dental student guiding you through the process is invaluable, and we are incredibly grateful for all of his help.View more recommendations
