About

βœ… USYD Med | πŸŽ“ 85 GAMSAT | πŸ”¬ S3 Specialist (98) Hi, I’m 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 didn’t come from cramming or shortcuts β€” it came from months of focused work, learning from mistakes, and refining my approach. That’s the mindset I bring to tutoring, and what I look for in students I work with. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ βš™οΈ Why Section 3? ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Section 3 is often the biggest hurdle for students β€” 🧠 Non-science backgrounds: feel overwhelmed by content πŸ§ͺ Science backgrounds: struggle to apply knowledge under pressure What many don’t realise is that S3 isn’t just about facts β€” it’s about: πŸ” spotting patterns 🧩 applying logic πŸ“Š simplifying complex info πŸ’‘ staying calm under fatigue That’s where I come in β€” not to reteach every topic, but to: πŸš€ train your reasoning πŸ› οΈ build your confidence πŸ“ˆ guide your prep efficiently ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ πŸ” What Tutoring Looks Like ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Each session is tailored to your background & goals. Typical focus areas include: β€’ πŸ§ͺ Diagnosing weak points by topic (chemistry, biology, physics, mathematics) β€’ 🧠 Clarifying concepts in plain, simple language β€’ πŸ“ Working through questions slowly and carefully β€’ 🧭 Strategy that doesn’t rely on memorisation β€’ ❗ Reviewing mistakes with deep understanding β€’ ⏱️ Building timing, stamina, and decision-making β€’ πŸ“… Weekly check-ins to stay accountable For πŸ§‘β€πŸŽ“ non-science students: ➑️ We’ll build your foundation gently, at your pace. For πŸ‘©β€πŸ”¬ science students: ➑️ We’ll translate your knowledge into test-ready reasoning and timing. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🎯 Who I Work Best With ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ I work best with students who are: πŸ”₯ Ready to put in consistent effort πŸ“š Open to feedback and growth πŸ” Willing to reflect and adapt You don’t need to be perfect β€” just committed. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ πŸ“ Other Sections (Optional) ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ While I specialise in Section 3, I can also help with: β€’ πŸ“– Section 1 (reasoning) β€’ ✍️ Section 2 (essay writing) Especially if you want structure, feedback, or accountability. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ πŸ’° Rates ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ β€’ πŸ‘€ One-on-One: $100/hour β€’ πŸ‘₯ Group Sessions: $75/hour per person (2+ students) ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ πŸ“¬ Interested? ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ If you’re 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. – Shayan πŸŽ“ GAMSAT Section 3 Tutor | 85 Overall | USYD Med πŸ§ͺ GAMSAT Results: β€’ Section 1: 65 β€’ Section 2: 77 β€’ Section 3: 98
