The competition got harder. The number of places has stayed the same.
Over 40,000 students sat the UCAT in 2026, up from around 30,000 in 2019 — yet UK medical school places have stayed flat at roughly 10,000 for over a decade.
Built by someone who walked the exact path.
John Quraishi · Founder, KCL
John applied to both Medicine and Dentistry, was accepted first time into both, and now personally oversees the hundreds of teaching hours that happen on the programme every week. He is one of only 13 students in the UK to achieve 12 grade 9s at GCSE.
A complete system, not a quick fix.
StudySmart supports your child across every stage of the medicine application, from the start of Year 12 all the way to results day.
Diagnostic & personalised plan
We start by mapping your child's exact position, exam boards and weak points, then build a custom roadmap across A-levels, UCAT and the application.
Specialist mentors
Your child is taught by top UK medical and dental students who scored in the top deciles for the UCAT and know each exam board inside out. Many parents have told us our team is better than their school teachers.
Speed of content & exam practice
Students have come to us on Bs and Cs for months and have jumped up to grade As and A*s with us, because we focus on exam technique, timing and high-quality practice, not endless notes and flashcards.
UCAT & interview mastery
We can't control the questions on the day, but we prepare students so thoroughly that the exam and interviews feel familiar, structured and predictable. This is where we outperform standard tutoring by miles.
Tracking, recordings & accountability
Every lesson is recorded, progress is tracked, and we adjust instantly if your child slows down. They get their own custom dashboard to track progress every week.
Personal statement & university strategy
We help your child build a personal statement that stands out, and strategically pick the four universities that maximise their chance of an offer.

This programme is not for everyone.

Frequently asked.
Your child gets weekly lessons with specialist mentors across A-Level Biology, Chemistry, Maths, UCAT, personal statement and interviews.
Every lesson is recorded, progress is tracked on a personal dashboard, and a member of the team checks in regularly so nothing slips between sessions.
We do not charge by the hour like private tutors or local tutoring centres, and we are not a cheap, budget option.
Pricing depends on how long your child stays with us, and John will walk you through the exact investment on your application meeting.
If you're looking for a very cheap, low-budget option, then this is not the correct programme for you.
Your child's education is a huge part of their future, and the commitment that the parents who sign up to our programme make reflects that.
Most students join in Year 12 and stay all the way through to results day at the end of Year 13 — around 16+ months of consistent work.
Year 13 students and gap year reapplicants join for shorter, more intensive runs depending on their timeline.
Minimum commitment is usually 6–8 months at the least.
No. UCAT is a 2-month process and interviews are a few weeks, but A-Levels are 16+ months of consistent work — and the most common reason students lose their offer is missing their A-Level grades.
We refuse to let students win the UCAT and interview battle but lose the war at results day, so we only run the full programme.
Gap year reapplicants are one of the groups we work with most.
Whether the issue last cycle was the UCAT, the personal statement, the interviews or the final grades, we diagnose exactly what went wrong and rebuild the application properly for the next attempt.
No, and if anyone does give you a guarantee, there will be lots of terms and conditions that you have to meet.
We also can't control how much studying and effort your child puts in outside of our lessons and the programme.
What we can promise is that if your child follows the system and puts in the effort, their chances of an offer are dramatically higher than going alone.
If you ever feel things aren't progressing, John will personally step in to make changes.
Every mentor is a top student from a leading UK medical or dental school — King's, UCL, Manchester, Oxford and others.
They've scored in the top percentiles for the UCAT, walked the exact admissions path your child is on, and have years of teaching experience.
If you're ever unhappy with a mentor, we'll change them.
