  • “I was revising for the UCAT every day but my scores weren’t moving, and it was honestly so discouraging. The YDJ team helped me figure out exactly why — I was rushing the wrong sections and practising without a method. After a few sessions, I had a clear plan, proper timing techniques, and I finally started seeing consistent improvement. I also felt way less stressed because I knew what I was doing each week.”

    —Alizah

  • “YourDentalJourney completely changed how I answered interview questions. I used to panic and either waffle or sound really rehearsed. The mock interview was so realistic and the feedback was super specific — it helped me structure my answers properly but still sound like myself. By the end I felt confident talking about dentistry, ethics, teamwork, and my own experiences without forcing it.”

    — Mustafa

  • “The mock interview was honestly humbling (in the best way). I thought I was doing fine until I realised I wasn’t being specific enough and my examples were too general. The feedback wasn’t harsh — it was encouraging but honest, and that’s what made it so helpful. I knew exactly what to improve and how to practise it. After that, my answers became sharper and more confident.”

    —Maryam

  • “I sent my personal statement to YDJ thinking it was already good, but the edits showed me how much more I could improve it. They helped me make it more reflective instead of just listing what I did, and it became much more dentistry-focused. The final version sounded more mature, flowed better, and actually felt like it represented me properly. I’d recommend it to anyone applying for dentistry.”

    -Harris

  • “I got A-Level support through YourDentalJourney and it genuinely helped my grades. It wasn’t just going over content — they taught me how to answer exam questions properly and how to pick up marks. I finally understood where I was losing marks and what examiners want. The sessions were really organised, and the explanations were so clear.”

    —Sarah

  • “What I liked most about YDJ is how personalised everything felt. The team actually listens and adjusts to what you need instead of giving generic advice. It felt like they genuinely cared about my progress. I always left sessions knowing exactly what to do next, and that made a huge difference to my confidence during the whole application process.”

Our story. our approach. Your Dental Journey.

Our Story

I founded Your Dental Journey (YDJ) after going through the UK dentistry application process myself and seeing how fragmented and confusing it can be.

Too often, students receive generic advice that treats UCAT, A-levels, personal statements, and interviews as separate hurdles, rather than parts of one journey. As a dental student, it became clear to me that successful applicants are those who are guided strategically across the entire process.

That’s why YDJ supports students at every stage — offering 1-to-1 UCAT preparation, A-level tuition, personal statement writing and reviews, university-specific interview preparation, and ongoing 1-to-1 mentoring, alongside in-person dental work experience.

Our focus is on clarity, confidence, and genuine understanding — helping students not just gain offers, but become well-prepared future dental professionals.

GCSE / A-Levels *

This is where Your Dental Journey begins.

Strong academic performance is the starting point of every successful dental journey. GCSEs and A-Levels play a crucial role in determining which university pathways remain open, particularly for competitive courses such as dentistry.

Our tutoring focuses on building deep subject understanding, academic confidence, and exam-ready technique in core subjects. By supporting students at this early stage, we help them secure the grades needed to keep dentistry firmly within reach while developing skills that will support them throughout sixth form and beyond.

All sessions are delivered by high-achieving tutors with strong academic records and first-hand experience of the dental and medical application process, ensuring guidance is both academically rigorous and strategically informed.

The Next Milestone on Your Dental Journey

As your dental journey progresses, the UCAT becomes a defining milestone. It’s often the first major hurdle that separates strong academic candidates from those who secure interview offers.

Our UCAT preparation is designed to help students move confidently into this next stage of their journey. We focus on building the skills, strategies, and mindset needed to perform under timed conditions — not just answering questions, but understanding how the UCAT is assessed and how dental schools use scores in their selection process.

Support is tailored to each student’s starting point, ensuring progress is structured, measurable, and aligned with individual university goals.

The personal statement

The personal statement *

Shaping your story.

As your dental journey progresses, your personal statement becomes the point where academic achievement and motivation come together. It’s your opportunity to show dental schools who you are beyond grades and test scores — and why dentistry is the right path for you.

Our personal statement support helps students shape a clear, reflective, and dentistry-focused narrative that aligns with what universities are actually looking for. Rather than producing generic or over-polished statements, we guide students to communicate their experiences, insight, and commitment to dentistry with clarity and authenticity.

Support is tailored to each student’s background, ensuring their story reflects both personal experience and professional understanding at this important stage of the journey.

Take the next Step

Your experiences matter — how you communicate them matters even more.

Your Dental Journey bringing it all together

As your dental journey reaches its most decisive stage, the interview is where everything comes together. Academic performance, UCAT preparation, personal insight, and motivation are all tested — not on what you say, but how you think, communicate, and reflect under pressure.

Our interview preparation is designed to help students approach this final stage with confidence and clarity. We focus on developing structured answers, clear communication, and thoughtful reflection, ensuring students sound authentic, composed, and genuinely suited to dentistry.

Preparation is tailored to each student’s target universities, recognising that interview styles, expectations, and scoring criteria vary widely across dental schools.

This is where preparation becomes performance.
