About

UNSW Medicine Prize Recipient | HSC All-Rounder | Normanhurst Boys Class of 2019 HSC Physics || Stage 1-5 Maths || Stage 1-5 Science || UCAT || Medicine Interviews and Applications || Assignment Marking || First-Year Health Sciences I am a Medical Student at UNSW and graduated from Normanhurst Boys High School in 2019. I sat accelerated IPT and Chemistry, and achieved the HSC All-Rounders award. I also received the 2022 UNSW School of Medical Sciences Pharmacology Prize. I have worked with a large, well-known tutoring company and have experience with students aged 8-18. I primarily teach HSC Physics, and Stages 1-5 Maths and Science. I can advise students on studies in Medicine and similar fields, UCAT training, mark essays, etc. I have sat 6 Medical School interviews and am able to provide expertise and training. If in a group, I may also be able to organise a mini-MMI with some colleagues. Additionally, I can assist in introductory Anatomy, Pharmacology, Physiology, etc. If you’re unsure about anything, just ask! I like to run student-led lessons, integrating small pockets of content with practice questions and constructive feedback. I place a large emphasis on driving student independence and explaining concepts, rather than encouraging rote learning. I am driven by student and parent suggestions, tailoring each lesson to the person's individual needs. I work as hard as I can to help students grow academically and guide them in their tertiary studies. Please enquire for availability.
