Learning hot topics, understanding key ethical principles, and refining your question structures are essential parts of interview prep. But there’s one final element that is just as important - and without it, you could lose your offer. It’s the art of speaking and presentation.

The way you walk into the room, your tone, your posture, and your confidence all subconsciously influence your interviewer’s impression of you. Even if your content is perfect, poor delivery can hold you back.

So how can you identify and improve these skills to subconsciously influence your interviewer into giving you an offer? To help you, here are the behaviours you’re constantly displaying, whether you realise it or not, that shape your interviewer’s opinion:

• Overusing filler words → signals uncertainty and low confidence
• Repeating points unnecessarily
• Lacking vocal confidence
• Poor pace control - speaking too fast or not pausing
• Flat pitch or monotonous tone → less engaging delivery
• Incorrect eye contact, depending on whether you’re listening or speaking
• Closed-off or poor body language and posture
• Facial expressions

These are not minor details - they are the difference between a polished, confident applicant and a hesitant one.

There is one simple exercise that can dramatically improve your speaking and presentation - if you actually commit to doing it. It may feel uncomfortable at first, but with practice, you will realise how beneficial it is

1. Record yourself answering a set of interview questions
2. Playback with sound OFF:
   • Focus purely on your body language, posture, and facial expressions
   • Choose 1–2 areas to improve
3. Playback with video OFF:
   • Listen only to your voice - your pace, pauses, tone, confidence, and clarity
   • Again, pick 1–2 areas to work on

Next time you practise aloud, you’ll be far more conscious of how you are speaking, not just what you are saying. This drill alone can elevate your interviews significantly.

Spotting your own presentation errors can be incredibly difficult. If you’re struggling to build vocal confidence or you want personalised feedback on your speaking style, email me at loveleenj241@gmail.com to book interview tutoring sessions.

Interviews can feel tough, but they are a skill and definitely something you can improve on, with practice! But it is important that you practice the right skills.

If you’re doing GCSE or A-level Biology or Chemistry and feel like you need that extra boost to secure those top grades, you’re in the right place! I offer tutoring that’s genuinely made a difference - my students have jumped from a grade 4 to an 8, and others have gone on to absolutely smash an A* in their exams. My classes stay intentionally small so I can really focus on you and what you need, but that also means spaces disappear pretty quickly. If you want to grab a spot before they’re gone, drop me an email at loveleenj241@gmail.com and let’s get you working towards that dream grade.

As someone who received 4/4 offers and was in the first batch of offer holders at both King’s College London and the University of Birmingham, I’ve poured everything I know into creating the best possible interview resources, so you can achieve your dream of studying medicine. If you want to get your medicine offers, check out my interview resources on my website!

Additionally, you can check out my website for resources such as the A* AQA A-level psychology notes and my notes templated designed in an active recall format.
