Why The Med Den exists?
We built The Med Den to challenge the gatekeeping culture around medical education and science tutoring. Quality support shouldn’t be reserved for students who can afford £100/hour.
We believe in:
- Clarity – no fluff, just honest guidance
- Empathy – we’ve been in your shoes
- Access – education shouldn’t break the bank
- Honesty – no false promises
Whether you’re aiming for medicine or revising for exams, we’re here to help you take the next step with confidence.
Our Vision
At The Med Den, we believe getting into medicine shouldn’t depend on your postcode, your parents’ income, or how well you know the system.
🚨 The Problem
Applying for medicine is tough — and expensive.
Too many students face:
❌ Poor advice from busy schools
❌ Tutors charging £100+/hr
❌ Confusing, outdated info online
🎯 Our Mission
Create a low-cost, one-stop platform where any UK student can:
- Get expert guidance from doctors & teachers
- Access clear, honest advice
- Prepare with confidence, not overwhelm
📈 The Journey Ahead
We’re building in phases:
- Pre-Med Applicants – UCAT, personal statement, interviews
- Medical Students – OSCE prep, exam strategies, mentorship
- Early Career Doctors – AKT/SCA prep, diagnostic skills
