About

Hi, I’m James, I graduated from SHORE (2024) with a 99.90 ATAR and am currently studying Medicine at the University of New South Wales. I specialise in tutoring High School Maths and Science, as well as preparing students for the UCAT, SAT, and Medicine Interviews. 🎯 Credentials βœ… ATAR: 99.90 βœ… UCAT: 2590/2700 (99th percentile) βœ… SAT: 1590 βœ… 10x interview offers (listed below) πŸ“ˆ 2025 Student Results UCAT Results βœ… 5/6 students achieved 99th percentile βœ… Highest score achieved: 2620/2700 Medicine Interviews βœ… 10/14 students received offers from their top-choice university   (8 UNSW, 2 USYD) βœ… 12/14 students received at least one Medicine offer HSC subjects βœ… ALL students achieved a band 6 result   (2 chemistry, 1 physics, 1 Ext 1 maths) πŸ“š Subjects Available for Tutoring Year 7–10: Maths, Science Year 11–12: Advanced Mathematics Extension 1 & Extension 2 Mathematics Physics Chemistry UCAT Training 🧠 My Approach for HSC Subjects Break down the syllabus into simple, intuitive concepts Apply knowledge through a wide range of practice questions Identify weaknesses and gaps in understanding Target these areas with focused, high-impact learning To support this, I use a free digital whiteboard platform (Miro) during lessons. This allows both the student and I to work interactively β€” drawing, annotating, and solving problems together in real time. Each session is saved automatically, giving students a structured set of notes and worked examples they can revisit for revision. In my experience, this format is both highly engaging and effective for consolidating understanding. My scores: Physics: 96 Chemistry: 95 Advanced English: 97 Extension 2 Mathematics: 96 Extension 1 Mathematics: 97 🧩 My Approach for UCAT Training To maximise your chances of securing a Medicine interview, you should aim for the 98th–99th percentile. Simply grinding third-party questions is not enough. Success in UCAT comes from mastering the core skills and strategies unique to each section. I provide: Section-specific strategies and shortcuts Personalised study plans Targeted drills to improve speed and accuracy My scores: VR: 880 DM: 810 QR: 900 🎀 My Approach for Medicine Interview Training To maximise your chances of receiving a Medicine offer, interview preparation should begin well before the HSC period. Leaving preparation too late often limits your ability to develop the depth of insight, structure, and communication skills required to stand out. Success in medical interviews comes from mastering the frameworks, thinking styles, and communication techniques expected by each university. I provide: Custom question banks tailored to each university Structured frameworks for ethical and scenario-based responses Communication training to help you articulate ideas clearly under pressure Personalised feedback to refine both content and delivery My offers included: University of New South Wales University of Sydney (Double Degree Medical Program / Chancellor’s) University of Newcastle (Central Coast) University of Queensland University of Adelaide Flinders University Notre Dame (Sydney & Fremantle) University of Melbourne (Chancellor’s Scholarship) Monash University My goal is to remove uncertainty, reduce stress, and give you a clear system to succeed. 🎯 My Rates: $100 per hour

James is an outstanding interview tutor. His feedback is precise and immediately practical, and every session felt purposeful and well-structured, allowing me to continually improve my responses. Thanks to his guidance, I went into my interviews feeling genuinely prepared and confident, leading to multiple offers. I’m incredibly grateful for his support and would highly recommend James to anyone serious about interview preparation.
