Student Reviews: A-Level & Medicine Portfolio Preparation

A look at real feedback from students studying A-Level (Edexcel) and preparing their portfolio for medical school applications with Max Academia, organised by subject and teacher.

A-Level Biology (Edexcel) · Student of Kru Kul

“I’ve always enjoyed Biology, but studying with Kru Kul helped me understand the content on a much deeper level. Kru Kul explains everything step by step and with clear reasoning, which made it much easier to see how different topics connect. Beyond the score improvement, what I gained most was real understanding — because Edexcel Biology isn’t just about memorisation, it requires analysis, connecting knowledge across topics, and reasoned answers. Kru Kul helped build that foundation really well.”

A-Level Chemistry (Edexcel) · Student of Kru Gap

“Before studying with Kru Gap, I felt Chemistry had so much content that it was hard to see the big picture of each chapter. After studying with him, I started understanding how the different topics connect. Kru Gap has memory techniques and ways of thinking that make analysing questions much easier. What impressed me most was that he kept finding different ways to explain things until I truly understood — turning a subject I once found difficult into one I can now study with real confidence.”

A-Level Mathematics (Edexcel) · Student of Kru Big

“At first I struggled to keep up with Maths at school because the content moves quite fast and there’s a lot of it. Kru Big helped me gradually catch up. He started from the fundamentals and explained the reasoning behind each method step by step, so I actually understood where each formula came from before moving on to harder problems. This meant I could approach exam questions in a much more systematic way.”

A-Level Physics (Edexcel) · Student of Kru Noey

“For me, Physics is the hardest subject because it requires calculation, analysis, and reasoning all at once. Kru Noey was able to explain both the content and the questions I didn’t understand in a way that made them much clearer. She taught me why a formula applies and which angle to approach a question from — something that matters enormously for Edexcel exams, which emphasise explanation and reasoning.”

Medicine Portfolio Preparation · Student of Kru Kul, Kru Ni, and P’Angie

“I’m so grateful to have studied with Kru Kul, Kru Ni, P’Angie, and everyone who supported me throughout my journey preparing for medical school. What sets Max Academia apart is that they don’t just focus on building a portfolio — they also guide and advise on the various admissions tests, since getting into medicine means preparing for multiple exams, each university with its own requirements. What I appreciated most was that they never tried to change who I am to fit some idea of a ‘medical school applicant’ — instead they valued my individuality, interests, and what makes me different, helping me present my genuine strengths in the best possible way.”
