Hi there! My name is Sumandeep and I am a 2021 University of Leeds Dental Surgery Graduate.
I have had many years of experience interviewing candidates for entry to Dental Surgery and Dental Hygiene and Therapy courses, so definitely feel I could help in demystifying the interview and application process! I received 2 Dental Surgery offers when I applied in 2015/16 from Leeds and Plymouth, so have experience with MMIs as well as panel interviews.
I have successfully guided many students through the application process in previous years, and feel confident I can help your child build on their existing communication and interview skills so that they can perform to the best of their potential.
I feel I am friendly and approachable, working as a student ambassador throughout my time at university, as well as standing as DentSoc committee member for many years, so I feel I am experienced in speaking with younger students and understanding their way of thinking and ways in which we can work together and to their strengths to achieve the best results.
I firmly believe that every student has the capability to perform well at interview, however sometimes it merely takes a guide to somewhat light the way a little so that the student’s confidence is restored and they are reassured that the interviews are manageable and only looking to assess the characteristics that they already possess.
I do hope that you feel I can help your child with the tricky months that follow, and I hope I shall hear from you soon!
I like to make sure that pupils are able to consider the reasoning for answers themselves. I may teach techniques that will help with getting to the answer, but I will not give actual answers, instead asking the student to consider how and why they may reach a conclusion – improving general critical thinking and reasoning skills.
I have worked as a student ambassador throughout my time at university, as well as ‘Dental Mum’, helping those in junior years with their studies and exam revision.
On the academic front – certainly graduating dental school with a BSc, MChD and BChD, and receiving a first class grade on my Master’s Dissertation! Personally, I am incredibly proud of my 300+ vinyl record collection that I have been building since I was a young teenager – music is one of my passions and I could speak about The Beatles for days!
