Why Stratssoc?
HOW IT ALL BEGAN
Stratssoc came from humble beginnings.
Starting out as just a small community where like-minded tutors came together to assist the students at our school, we never thought Stratssoc would ever turn into what it is today.
After seeing a massive surge in requests for IB/AP/ A-level tutoring and university admissions counselling from students and parents all over the country, it quickly grew to the point where we realized that our resources at the time would be unable to accommodate all our students' needs.
We knew that more could be done and more HAD to be done.
Fast forward to the summer of 2023, we have been fortunate enough to build an elite team of 15+ mentors, each with unique strengths and skillsets to offer. As founders of this special community, we are incredibly proud to officially present Stratssoc to the world.
Enjoy!!
OUR VISION
At Stratssoc, we firmly believe that the best mentors are the ones that have gone through the entire process themselves and strived whilst doing so. The feeling of a mentor being able to relate and guide you from personal experience just hits different.
Hence, we have made it our mission to provide our students with a team of knowledgeable, professional and all-elite mentors that have gone through it all. Our mentors know how straightforward academics and university applications can be if you got the right STRATS. By teaching efficient ways to learn, we wish to help avoid unnecessary workload and anxiety so our students can lead a fulfilling high school life whilst also enjoying the taste of success.
To achieve our goals, we have established an internationalized mentoring network that comprises of tutors from elite universities in both the UK and the US. Other than providing tailored lesson plans to meet specific needs, every student at Stratssoc also has a personalized account where they can find concise revision materials and practice questions that have been compiled according to their needs. Our mentors for various admission tests and our university admissions counselling team are also here to help during university application season.
THE CREW
-
Amy is currently studying Medical Biosciences with Management at Imperial College London. As one of the founding members of Stratssoc, she is excited to share more of her experiences and reflections with IB students. She is the creator of biology course materials on the site and holds online guidance specifically for students who are applying to Biomed in the UK.
In her spare time, Amy likes to read, write, paint, and organize events. One of her proudest achievements is to have published a children illustration book for charity events. She will be able to guide students in incorporating their hobbies into their extracurricular activities and eventually present themselves as a competent applicant for universities.
Tyrone is currently a medical student on a 6-year degree at the University of St. Andrews / the University of Edinburgh. As one of the founders of Stratssoc, he is incredibly enthusiastic about passing on the knowledge and experience that he has accumulated throughout his experience as an IB student and a med school applicant.
Outside of medicine, Tyrone enjoys all kinds of outdoor activities and sports. He firmly believes that having a good work-life balance is crucial to maintaining optimal efficiency and a healthy lifestyle. As the main provider of uni/med school application consults, he holds a very positive outlook on the future of Stratssoc and the achievements of its students.
