My passion is teaching. I teach only because I love to teach and to impart knowledge, which is the highest form of gift a person can give to others.

What I offer is personalised focused teaching to prepare you in the best possible way for this very important examination of your career.

Group Meetings:

These are always free to attend.

You are under no obligations whatsoever. I request only that when a group meeting is announced, please be punctual and participate heartily, whether you are the “candidate” or just an attender. This is your safe space. Do not hesitate to volunteer as a candidate or give constructive feedback. We all learn from each other, and we are all human and will, therefore, make mistakes.

General Rules:

All the sessions are recorded. You may choose to appear on the video or remain faceless. You may want to disclose your name or use a different name or write “Anonymous” as your name
Your videos may or may not be used on the website.
The copyright of the lesson remains with me.

Please do not steal my intellectual property. I operate singly and therefore cannot teach more often than once a week. Post-meeting video recordings will be available for a small price (see below, under B).

Website subscriptions:

You can visit my website and register for free. Once you have registered with your email and set a password, feel free to read its contents. Browse the various subscription options. Select any of the options, and you will be able to see all the video sessions we have put up on the curriculum. At the time of this writing, there are more than 60 lessons, including Communication stations, Video stations, History-taking sessions, Short Cases, Development stations, and more.

If you do not wish to subscribe, but only need to buy a particular video station, the cost per video is £6. For 4 stations, you pay £18 (one video free) and for 6 stations, you pay £24 (2 stations free).

Subscriptions:

The subscription rates are as follows:

One-day Taster £20	One month £40	Two months £80	Three months £110

I suggest that whichever plan you choose, please see EACH VIDEO AT LEAST ONCE, and if possible, more than once. Take notes of any important information that you come across. As the

videos are posted on YouTube; you can like and comment after watching each video. You can even subscribe to my channel.

*Post-exam debriefs will ALWAYS BE ANONYMISED and will exclude the candidate’s name and other personal characteristics to protect their identity.

Note:

Even non-subscribers can volunteer to have a post-exam debrief with me.
The one-day taster only has selected videos and not the entire library as the subscription only lasts for one day.

Private Tuitions:

I offer one-on-one private tuitions and am introducing 1 on 2 tuitions where 2 candidates can join up to learn together, thereby benefitting from a discount over individual session rates. Each session lasts for one hour.

General Rules:

All private tuitions are recorded. You may choose to appear on the video or remain faceless. You may want to disclose your name or use a different name or write “Anonymous” as your name
Your videos may or may not be used on the website.
Please discuss everything beforehand so that there is no misunderstanding afterwards.
The copyright of the lesson remains with me. However, in a 1:1 private tuition, you will have the choice to not put the video on the website.
The charges will be per-session, or in blocks of 5 or 10 sessions as illustrated below.
In case of a 1:2 subscription, each of the two members will get access separately. This should not be shared with anyone else.

Below are the rates for the various schemes (in £)

No of Tuitions	One on One	Joint subscription (prices for 2 students attending together)	Other privileges
1-4	£25/hour each	£45/hour each (£22.50 per student)	1 month’s full access to the website if at least 3 sessions booked.
5*	£115	£210 (£105 per student)	3 months’ full access to the website
6-9	£23/hour each above 5	£40/hour each above 5 (£20 per student per session)	3 months’ full access to the website
10*	225	420 (£ 210 per student)	4 months’ full access to the website
Comprehensive course This will include 20 lessons – any mix of available modules.	£400	£700 (£350 per student)	4 months’ full access to the website

Note:

The charges are for candidates paying into my UK account directly. For those paying from international sites, the payment will be into an external app known as STRIPE. Please ask me before sending the money into Stripe as there will be a small ADDITIONAL CHARGE FOR EACH CATEGORY (to cover the charges that Stripe collects from me). When you pay into STRIPE, you can pay in your LOCAL CURRENCY without having to pay in £££.

Sending money with other apps: You can send money to my UK bank account using WISE but please discuss this with me before you do so. An additional charge will apply as WISE also charges you to send money.

Applicants can avoid the extra charges by requesting their UK-based acquaintances or friends to pay into my UK account directly.

Testimonials:

We invite you to send us a testimonial about your experience. This can be text, audio or video. These testimonials will be used on the website with your consent. Comments may be anonymised if we do not have your consent. You can choose whether to display your name, your Nationality/Ethnicity/Sex or any other personal characteristic. For example, if you agree to allow me to use your name and Nationality, I will display only those two.

Payments

The payments can be made directly into my UK bank account, the details of which will be shared with the prospective participant on a 1:1 basis. Those who live outside the UK will need to pay through a personalised link that I will share with them. They can pay in their local currency or in ££.

Anything else?

For any other questions, feel free to directly ask me in the group (if the subject is likely to be interesting for everyone to know) or in my private chat (if it pertains to something personal).

THANK YOU.
