Dr Mike Davies. Lead Tutor and Managing Director (MPharm, PhD, PGCertHE, FHEA & ILM Level 5)
If you are feeling stuck with prescribing, pharmacology or exam technique, you are not alone. Many students struggle not because they lack ability, but because they need clear explanation, structured guidance and the chance to ask questions without feeling judged.
I offer tutoring that is friendly, knowledgeable and tailored to your level. Sessions are designed to help you understand the why behind difficult topics — not just memorise facts — so that you can apply your knowledge with more confidence in exams and clinical scenarios.
Tutoring Support Available
I provide focused 1:1 support across prescribing, pharmacology and exam preparation.
Clinical Prescribing Tutor
Develop a clearer understanding of prescribing principles, safer decision-making, and the clinical reasoning needed to apply knowledge in real scenarios and assessments.
Pharmacology Tutor
Get help simplifying difficult pharmacology topics, understanding mechanisms clearly, and moving from passive memorisation to confident application in exams.
Exam-Focused Support
Targeted help for students preparing for assessments who need clearer strategy, stronger application and better confidence under pressure. Includes support for PSA and OSPAP preparation.
Experienced UK pharmacist and university educator
Supportive, calm and non-judgemental teaching style
I know that many students come to tutoring feeling under pressure, short on confidence, or frustrated that things are not “clicking”. My aim is to make sessions feel clear, encouraging and productive — so that you leave with more understanding, more direction and more confidence in what to do next.
My tutoring is grounded in long-standing higher education teaching experience and informed by both clinical and academic practice. Recent outcomes highlighted on the site include PSA pass rates of 90% in 2025 and 93% in 2026, alongside wider support for students across prescribing, pharmacology and OSPAP preparation.

“I found the sessions really useful, especially for breaking down complex pharmacology topics and applying them to exam-style questions. It helped improve my confidence going into the PSA. Clear explanations and a very supportive approach.” – JD, Lancashire, May 2026
“I had some teaching sessions with Mike to get me through the OSPAP. I found them extremely useful and very informative and in the end I passed my OSPAP assessment. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Mike to anyone.” – DB, Sunderland, June 2026
