Lucy

Hi! I’m Lucy, a first year dental student at the University of Liverpool. To align with my interests in biological sciences, I chose to study ALevels in Biology and Chemistry. I found quite a few concepts in Chemistry initially challenging, meaning I had to develop new methods to break down topics in a way that I understood. My third choice was Geography, a subject that has helped me understand the complex relationships of people, places and the environment. After being stuck in Budapest Airport on the morning of results day (and getting back just in time!), I opened my envelope to A*A*A, so this is your sign you can do it too!

Applying to dental school is tough, but I think it really helps to know someone that’s been through the process recently, and so can give up-to-date advice. Completing interview preparation courses during my own application, and now becoming a dental student I have a strong understanding of what dental schools seek.

I focus on understanding the challenges that my students face when it comes to learning. I use strong communication skills to teach knowledge, technique and develop confidence. I appreciate we don’t always get it right first time, I bring compassion and support to encourage progression. Let me help you through the hurdles I know getting to university brings!
