✅ UNSW Medicine ✅ 99.80 ATAR ✅ 98% UCAT ✅ UNSW $30,000 Scholarship ✅ 3+ Years Experience ✅ FREE TRIAL ✅ Maths and Economics Specialist ✅
Hi, I’m Simon! I recently graduated from Sydney Grammar School in 2023 with a 99.80 ATAR, and I am currently studying Medicine (Bachelor of Science/Doctor of Medicine) at UNSW, having received multiple medical offers from universities across Australia.
Through my personal HSC journey and experience mentoring multiple students, I have an acute understanding of what is required to perform at a high level. My teaching focuses on simple and effective strategies designed to maximise academic performance, reducing stress and instilling confidence.
What I Provide:
✓ Unlimited access to high quality, comprehensive notes for all subjects FREE OF CHARGE
✓ Access to hundreds of full mark short answer and essay responses FREE OF CHARGE
✓ Compilations of past papers from multiple schools and exam specific questions FREE OF CHARGE
✓ 24/7 support with unlimited marking and feedback outside of lessons FREE OF CHARGE
✓ Personalised tutoring sessions, with detailed lesson plans and homework that is specific to each student
Free Trial:
Prior to commencing formal tutoring, I offer a complimentary consultation. This session provides an opportunity for us to discuss your academic goals, identify areas for improvement, and outline how I can best support your learning. It also allows you to gain insight into my teaching approach and determine whether it aligns with your needs, before making any commitment.
My Philosophy:
From receiving average marks in the early years of high school to consistently achieving top band marks, I appreciate that hard work alone is not enough to reach your potential. True success lies in understanding HOW to approach exams strategically, identifying high yield content, developing a deep and nuanced understanding of the content, and developing efficient study methods that save time and maximise results. While completing my HSC, by mastering the techniques I developed, I was able to maintain my extracurriculars, actively participate in orchestra, sport, and completed my Gold Duke of Edinburgh. It was this approach that allowed me to thrive beyond my academics in year 12, culminating in a UNSW Scholarship ($30,000) for All Round Achievement.
Through my experience tutoring, I have learnt how to cultivate this mindset in my students. Recognising that each student learns differently, I tailor my lessons to meet their specific needs. By fostering strong relationships in a supportive environment, I allow my students to feel comfortable expressing their concerns, allowing me to provide holistic and continual support throughout their academic journey.
Ultimately, as a tutor I strive to help my students beyond academic accomplishments alone. It is my goal to provide them with the skills, abilities, mindset and confidence that will allow them to succeed in life long after our lessons have ended.
Medical/Dental Mentoring
I also provide mentoring for students who hope to pursue Medicine or Dentistry in university.
For the UCAT, I provide a detailed study plan tailored to each student's strengths and weaknesses. I equip my students with time management strategies, question specific strategies for each section, and the mindset to perform in a high stakes environment.
For medical and dental interviews, I specialise in both Multiple Mini Interviews (MMIs) and panel interviews. Drawing from my personal experience interviewing for multiple different universities, I offer the following:
✓ Access to thousands of practice questions, encompassing a breadth of possible questions
✓ Realistic mock interview sessions that help simulate a real interview environment, optimising my student to perform
✓ Detailed, specific, and personalised feedback to help students refine the quality and delivery of their responses
✓ Structures, approaches and strategies to approach the interview that have proven success with my students
My Qualifications:
✓ 97 Maths Extension I
✓ 96 Economics (Ranked 2nd)
✓ 95 English Advanced
✓ 93 Chemistry
✓ Godfrey Curtin Prize for 1st in Year 12 Geography (2023)
✓ Peter Young Prize for Geographical Research (2022)
