About Us

Our goal is to build the best medical school preparation support on the worldwide market, and to make the process enjoyable enough that you finish it feeling confident, competitive, and in control. Medical school admissions creates a strange ecosystem. The more applicants are trained to respond to a specific exam or interview format, the less that format distinguishes anyone from the crowd. Yet as long as competitive programmes keep serious selection hurdles, students will keep looking for support. The real challenge is not whether support exists. It is separating support that genuinely builds your ability from support that simply sells certainty.

Our Mission

At PlusMedicine, we are allergic to hype. We do not promise outcomes or sell shortcuts. We sell clarity. We teach what works, why it works, and what to do when it does not. That philosophy shapes everything we offer: UCAT preparation built around timing strategy, decision making under pressure, and repeatable habits that hold up on exam day; interview coaching that strengthens structured thinking and natural communication so you can handle unfamiliar prompts without sounding scripted; and personal statement support that helps you craft a narrative rooted in your experiences and values, not a generic template. Our tutors are current medical students and recent graduates who have lived the process themselves. We built PlusMedicine around what we genuinely wished existed when we applied: clear teaching, honest feedback, and real mentorship that makes you more capable with every session.

Our Story

PlusMedicine began in 2020 in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. There was no slick platform, no big launch, and no complicated business plan. It started with private tutoring sessions, usually at home or at local cafes, working with a small group of students who wanted something simple: someone to make the process understandable.

Those early sessions taught us a lot. Students do not fail because they are incapable. They fail because the application process is confusing, the advice is inconsistent, and preparation often becomes stressful before it becomes effective. When students are given structure, the right practice methods, and feedback that actually explains what to change, their confidence shifts quickly. Suddenly they stop guessing. They start improving on purpose. And once that happens, the rest of the cycle feels less like panic and more like momentum. From those beginnings, PlusMedicine grew through word of mouth. One student became two, then five, then entire friend groups. Families asked for help navigating timelines. Students wanted a UCAT plan that did not waste their time. Others wanted interview prep that felt real, not rehearsed. Personal statement drafts started coming in, and students wanted honest editing that improved clarity without erasing their voice. Over the years, that growth became something bigger. PlusMedicine partnered with multiple international schools in Taiwan and expanded to support more than 200 students. What began as one tutor building a few resources became a team, a system, and a platform designed to make high performance preparation feel clear and achievable.

Our Own Medical
School Journey

Most of our team remembers the moment medicine stopped feeling like a dream and started feeling like a competition. Requirements were easy to list, but hard to execute. UCAT demanded speed and accuracy. Interviews demanded calm, structure, and adaptability. Personal statements demanded a story that sounded authentic without being vague. Everyone had advice, and much of it contradicted itself. Some of us had strong support from teachers and mentors. Others did not. But even when support existed, it was difficult to find guidance that felt both practical and honest. Too many resources were either overcomplicated or oversimplified. Too many courses sounded impressive but did not translate into better performance. The pattern was familiar: applicants would spend money, feel temporary reassurance, and still not know what to do on Monday morning when it was time to practise. That is the gap PlusMedicine exists to fill. We teach method, not mythology. We focus on the fundamentals that actually drive score improvement and interview performance. We also teach you how to practise efficiently, because time is limited and stress is expensive.

Why We Started

PlusMedicine started because students were not asking for secrets. They were asking for clarity.

They wanted to know what mattered, what did not, and how to spend their time so their preparation translated into results. They wanted someone to break down an interview framework and explain how to adapt it under pressure. They wanted UCAT coaching that trained judgement and timing, not just repetition. They wanted personal statement editing that made their writing stronger, not more generic.

As demand grew, we realised we could offer more than one to one tutoring. We could build a preparation system that reduces confusion and raises standards. A system that makes the whole process more human. Preparation should be challenging, but it should not feel chaotic. Applicants deserve teaching that is rigorous, realistic, and encouraging.

Expanding Our Influence

As PlusMedicine expanded beyond private tutoring, we started building offerings that matched how students actually learn. Not everyone needs the same thing. Some students benefit from intensive tutoring and tight feedback loops. Others need masterclasses and structured revision plans. Many want personal statement editing that keeps their voice intact while sharpening clarity, structure, and impact.

We also recognised something important. Students are often preparing across multiple pathways, and the differences matter. Some students are aiming for UK medicine entry. Others are building a Canadian strategy. Some are navigating both. The timelines, expectations, and language are not identical, and good preparation respects that.

That is why PlusMedicine supports applicants across both UK A100 medicine entry and Canadian A990 pathways. Whether you are preparing for UCAT and UK application strategy, or aligning your profile with Canadian expectations, we help you build a coherent plan that fits your chosen route and your personal context.

During this stage of growth, we also became more deliberate about tutor recruitment. Scaling in this space can quickly lead to generic teaching. We built the opposite. PlusMedicine grew to a team of more than 20 tutors, all from highly competitive medical schools in the UK, and we put teaching quality at the centre of recruitment.

Here is what makes our recruitment and training different.

  • First, we recruit for teaching skill, not just academic credentials. A great tutor is not someone who did well once. A great tutor is someone who can break down a concept, correct mistakes kindly, and build confidence through clarity. We test communication, structure, and empathy, not just a CV.
  • Second, we standardise the philosophy without forcing a script. Tutors are trained to teach principles that transfer across questions and situations. We want students to become adaptable, not rehearsed. That means tutors need to understand why strategies work, and how to modify them when students get stuck.
  • Third, we prioritise integrity. We do not teach shortcuts that undermine authenticity. We do not encourage templated answers that sound perfect but collapse under probing. We train students to think and communicate clearly, because that is what survives real assessment conditions.
  • Fourth, we focus on feedback quality. Anyone can give advice. Strong tutoring requires diagnosis. We train tutors to identify the real bottleneck, whether it is timing, decision making, structure, confidence, or communication. Then we build targeted practice around it. That is where progress comes from.
  • Finally, we keep the student experience personal. Even as we grow, we aim to maintain a mentoring culture. Our goal is that students feel supported, understood, and directed, not processed through a system.


Our First UCAT Courses

Our UCAT teaching started as small group sessions and evolved into structured tutoring and masterclasses built around one idea. Students do not need more content. They need better thinking and better practice. We focus on timing discipline, decision making under time pressure, and the ability to review mistakes in a way that prevents repetition. Rather than telling students to do endless questions, we teach them how to practise so each hour actually creates change. That includes recognising patterns, fixing common traps, and training calm execution. As cohorts expanded, we built stronger systems around planning and progress tracking. Students feel motivated when improvement is visible and achievable. Clear goals. Clear feedback. Clear next steps. That became part of PlusMedicine’s identity. From UCAT, it was natural to expand into interviews and personal statements, because students wanted the same clarity across the whole application. They wanted one approach that felt coherent, not a patchwork of disconnected advice.

10 Years From Now…

PlusMedicine is still growing, but our direction is consistent. We will keep improving our tutoring, masterclasses, editing, and resources. We will keep recruiting tutors who teach with integrity. We will keep building systems that make preparation simpler, not more stressful.

If you are preparing for UCAT, interviews, your personal statement, or your broader application strategy for UK A100 or Canadian A990 pathways, we would love to support you. Our promise is simple. We will teach you with clarity, honesty, and high standards, so you leave stronger, calmer, and more confident than when you started.
