"Dr Panchal was able to organise the sessions in a manner that all present were able to benefit from being scrutinized in an exam style setting. He provided very practical examination tips that, despite being very sensible, I had never previously been taught at medical school… Dr Panchal was able to ask viva questions that, in hindsight, demanded exactly the type of thinking that I required in my finals. Rather than just asking for facts, his questioning related strongly to clinical practice and underlying physiological/anatomical principles."

- DR MARK SYKES, IMPERIAL COLLEGE LONDON

"Your feedback to us after cases was extremely helpful. We all set high standards and you were able to hold us to it by being attentive during examinations and being knowledgeable and experienced enough to give advice on how to improve. Most impressive, and helpful, was the level of knowledge and understanding you had of the examinations and surrounding topics. Your explanations of clinical signs, management plans etc. really helped me understand what I had previously learned."

- DR RICHARD KWASNICKI PHD, IMPERIAL COLLEGE LONDON

"He provided valuable feedback and he consistently prompted me with challenging yet relevant questions, helping me to better appreciate the salience of my examination findings… The depth of his knowledge and ability to discuss, with clarity, the clinico-pathophysiologic complexities of various conditions is unparalleled during my medical studies. I consider it an honour to have worked Dr. Panchal. He has a particular skill for teaching, which reflects his keen enthusiasm for medicine."

- DR JUSTIN SALCICCIOLI, IMPERIAL COLLEGE LONDON

"Dhruv delivered numerous lectures covering the Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) in the months leading up to our final examinations. These were universally excellent, and regularly well attended… I feel that this teaching was not only of benefit for our upcoming examinations, but has also been of use to me as a junior doctor."

- DR HUSSAM ROSTOM, JOHN RADCLIFFE HOSPITAL, OXFORD

"Dhruv is a fantastic tutor for both the theoretical medical sciences and practical application at the bedside. His approach is systematic and easy to follow, and he presents complex ideas in an understandable an intuitive way. In particular, his clarity of thought lends itself very well to preparing for OSCE style exams, but the teaching in his sessions is far from limited to exam based knowledge. Years later as a foundation doctor, I find myself frequently returning to Dhruv's teaching methods and principles to help inform my approach to managing unwell patients and selecting appropriate investigations, as just two examples."

- DR CHLOË GAMLIN, UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE

"Dr Dhruv Panchal's teaching, which was some of the best and most useful I received while a medical student at Oxford University… The material was relevant but also intellectually stretching and gave us a framework for structuring answers to potential OSCE questions… Not only did I find these invaluable but they were fun and I wish that even now I could still be taught by Dr Panchal."

- DR SOPHIE HANINA, UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD

"These learning opportunities were superb and probably the most formative teaching experiences I attended in the preparation for my final MBBS exams… Dr Panchal has a fantastic aptitude for identifying areas for improvement in both a strong and poor performance. His explanations and reasoning behind the steps of the examination were very insightful and provided a level of understanding I was unable to find from books, lectures or other tutors."
