USYD Med | π 85 GAMSAT | π¬ S3 Specialist (98)
Hi, Iβm Shayan, a first-year medical student at the University of Sydney, and I offer GAMSAT tutoring with a focus on Section 3 β the science reasoning section.
I scored 98 in Section 3 and an overall score of 85, placing me in the top percentile. But that result didnβt come from cramming or shortcuts β it came from months of focused work, learning from mistakes, and refining my approach. Thatβs the mindset I bring to tutoring, and what I look for in students I work with.

βοΈ Why Section 3?
βββββββββββββββββββββββ
Section 3 is often the biggest hurdle for students β
π§ Non-science backgrounds: feel overwhelmed by content
π§ͺ Science backgrounds: struggle to apply knowledge under pressure
What many donβt realise is that S3 isnβt just about facts β itβs about:
π spotting patterns
π§© applying logic
π simplifying complex info
π‘ staying calm under fatigue
Thatβs where I come in β not to reteach every topic, but to:
π train your reasoning
π οΈ build your confidence
π guide your prep efficiently

π What Tutoring Looks Like
βββββββββββββββββββββββ
Each session is tailored to your background & goals. Typical focus areas include:
β’ π§ͺ Diagnosing weak points by topic (chemistry, biology, physics, mathematics)
β’ π§ Clarifying concepts in plain, simple language
β’ π Working through questions slowly and carefully
β’ π§ Strategy that doesnβt rely on memorisation
β’ β Reviewing mistakes with deep understanding
β’ β±οΈ Building timing, stamina, and decision-making
β’ π
Weekly check-ins to stay accountable
For π§βπ non-science students:
β‘οΈ Weβll build your foundation gently, at your pace.
For π©βπ¬ science students:
β‘οΈ Weβll translate your knowledge into test-ready reasoning and timing.

π― Who I Work Best With
βββββββββββββββββββββββ
I work best with students who are:

If youβre preparing for the GAMSAT and want to demystify Section 3, feel free to message me.
I only take on a small number of students at a time to give proper support.
Looking forward to working with you β and helping make the science section feel a little more manageable.
