Dr S Farooq, the doctor who writes the method and runs every session

UK doctor. First-class Biochemistry graduate. Research experience at Oxford and Cambridge. Over a decade guiding families through medicine, dentistry and Oxbridge applications.

Vetta Education exists for parents who want a calm, honest explanation of the UK medicine application process. The work is deliberately parent-led: clear enough to help families make better decisions, careful enough not to take ownership away from the student. Dr Farooq brings over ten years of tutoring experience, from primary school to university level.

What we’ll never do

We never guarantee outcomes. No honest adviser can.

We never write anything for a student. Statements and answers must be their own.

Parents, not students, are always our clients. Every conversation is parent-led.

We claim no NHS endorsement. Vetta is independent.

One doctor, start to finish

Families speak to Dr Farooq directly. Not an associate, not a junior. The same doctor who wrote the materials runs each session and stays with the family through to submission.

Where Vetta's guidance comes from

The materials are written from Dr Farooq's own application and clinical experience. Oxford and Cambridge feature prominently because that is where much of his academic work took place, but the guidance draws on a broader range of sources, including published data on selection criteria, work with school-aged students, and feedback from families across several years of practice.

The handbooks are the clearest introduction to what Vetta does and how we think. If they are useful, the next step is a session with Dr Farooq.
