About

99.90 ATAR | 3470 UCAT (99%ile) | UNSW Medicine | Online Tutoring Hi, I'm Esther! I am a second year Medicine student at UNSW, who graduated from Pymble Ladies' College in 2021 with an ATAR of 99.90. I offer UCAT and medical interview tutoring. Entry into medicine can be confusing and complicated for even the most academically talented students. With each university having different admissions requirements, different weightings between ATAR, UCAT and interview and even wildly different interview styles, it can be hard to know what to do. As someone who agonised over her own admissions process, I've learnt a lot of tips and tricks that can help you maximise your chances at medicine. || UCAT || Getting great marks in school but struggling with the UCAT? As the UCAT is an aptitude test, repeatedly training without a strategy can cause students to stagnate and feel unmotivated. I believe that the key to success in the UCAT is personalising strategies to match the student's strengths and weaknesses. As a tutor, I work with students to utilise Medentry/Medify resources to their full potential, find strategies to maximise marks and maintain motivation. In my UCAT, I received: Total: 3470 (99th Percentile!) VR: 820 DM: 880 QR: 900 AR: 870 || Medical Interviews || Over the past two years, I have tutored students from all different backgrounds, aiming for medical schools all across Australia. Of my 13 students in the past two years, 12 got into at least one medical school! Medical interviews are the most important but often most misunderstood part of medicine applications. As someone with first-hand experience of both MMI and panel-style interviews, I can help make sure you are ready to face the wide range of questions that interviews can bring. While every interview preparation site says 'be yourself', it doesn't hurt to also be prepared. Hence, in my sessions, I make sure my students have a good understanding of the ethics underpinning the medical profession, and how to discuss this in the interview setting. I explore common themes for interview questions and how to present answers to be concise but comprehensive. Students are also encouraged to reflect on their own experiences and how best to discuss them, as well as perfect their outward presentation. These sessions are tailored to the preparedness level of each student and universities applied to. Through all this, I make sure that students are ready to present not only themselves but their best selves during interviews. I interviewed at: - UNSW - Western Sydney University (JPM) - University of Newcastle/University of New England (JMP) - Monash University - University of Queensland - University of Adelaide From there, I received offers from my top preferences in each state - UNSW unbonded - Monash unbonded - University of Queensland unbonded - University of Adelaide unbonded || RATES || UCAT Tutoring: $70/hr Medical Interview Tutoring: $120/hr

Esther was great for me for interview tutoring. Really nice and got straight to the point aboutUNSW interview with a well structured class and lots of questions that made me well prepared. Overall, it got me feeling a lot more confident going into the interview. I ended up getting an unbonded spot at the kensington campus as a VIC student which was amazing!

Esther helped me with medical interview tutoring and was amazing in simulating real interviews, providing a range of different questions, and providing feedback to help you through your weaknesses and improve, but above all she showed a genuine interest in teaching me and was a kind person.

Esther was an extremely helpful medicine interview tutor who tailored lessons to suit your interests and level of preparedness. With valuable insights and extensive resources, even with only two lessons her detailed and personalised feedback greatly helped in realising and refining my areas of improvement.

Esther is an amazing interview mentor. She will personally work through interview questions with you to simulate actual interviews and provides extremely insightful feedback. She will also identify your weaknesses for you and provide guidance on how to work on them. Esther's been an integral part of my interview preparation and I highly recommend for anyone who wants personalised mentoring!

Esther was my tutor for medical interview tutoring, and I could not ask for anyone better. Esther demonstrated an exceptional understanding of what the medical interviews entailed, question types, and how to articulate responses, and she taught me in a warm, kind, and comprehensible manner. From the beginning, Esther created a supportive and constructive learning environment, tailored our sessions to my specific needs, and her feedback was always comprehensive, enabling me to identify areas for improvement. Esther also exhibited a genuine interest in my success. Her dedication to helping me succeed in medical interviews was evident in the extra resources provided, including articles, sample questions, and tips for further practice.

It is very very easy to follow what Esther teaches and her sessions regarding MMI interviews, which is what I undertook, are extremely helpful in their covering of associated expectations and how to tackle questions, structure answers, etc. She's incredible at what she does :)
