⭐ JAMES RUSE ⭐ 99.75 ATAR ⭐ UNSW MEDICINE ⭐ ALL ROUNDER ⭐ 3RD IN BIOLOGY ⭐ MEDICINE INTERVIEW PREP AVAILABLE ⭐ 👋 ABOUT ME Hey! I'm Isabella ☺️. I graduated from James Ruse in 2025 as an All Rounder and I'm now studying Medicine at UNSW. I have 2 years of tutoring experience in the HSC sciences and maths, and I also mentor students through medicine interviews (SSI and MMI). I received offers for UNSW Medicine, Western Sydney University Medicine and the University of Adelaide Dentistry, and I converted 3 out of 3 interviews into offers. I'm here to help you get the same results. 🚀 🎯 MY RESULTS 🏅 ATAR 99.75 🏆 All Rounder (5+ Band 6s) 🧬 Biology: HSC Mark 95, 3rd in Ruse 🧪 Chemistry: HSC Mark 95, 15th in Ruse 📐 Mathematics Extension 1: HSC Mark 98 🔢 Mathematics Extension 2: HSC Mark 96 🥇 20th cumulatively in Ruse for Maths 🩺 3 medicine/dentistry interviews, 3 offers: UNSW Medicine, WSU Medicine, Adelaide Dentistry 👩‍🏫 TUTORING EXPERIENCE 🏫 2+ years of HSC tutoring in sciences and maths 🏫 Years 7–12: Junior Science, Junior Maths, Biology, Chemistry, Maths Advanced, Extension 1 & Extension 2 🏫 Medicine interview mentoring (SSI and MMI) 🏫 WWCC qualified 🧬 WHAT MAKES MY BIOLOGY AND CHEMISTRY TUTORING DIFFERENT The biggest misconception in science is that Biology and Chemistry is that you need to rote learn all the facts. I know because I fell into that trap. In Year 11 I viewed the outcomes in biology and chemistry as separate facts to memorise. Application seemed much less important than remembering definitions. The result? I was ranked around 40th in my cohort for Biology. I had memorised the facts, but teachers kept marking me down on my explanations. The solution: I stopped simply memorising and started building concepts from the ground up. I learnt to interpret mark allocations from the question words. The "facts" and keywords turned into ideas that all flowed into one another and stuck, and they became natural to explain in an exam. That approach took me to 3rd in Biology in Year 12 and a HSC mark of 95. 🎉 ✨ What you get : 🔬 A conceptual teaching framework, so you remember all facts and know exactly how and when to apply them 🔬 Breakdowns of marking allocations, so you know exactly what earns marks 🔬 Model structures and responses for commonly asked questions 🔬 Curated notes, questions and model answers 🔬 A hand-picked selection of past papers and past questions 🔬 Unlimited marking of submitted responses outside class time 📐 MATHS (ADVANCED / EXT 1 / EXT 2) 📏 Structured lessons covering the full HSC course, targeted to your weak spots 📏 Notes, curated questions and worked solutions 📏 Exam technique and time-management strategies 📏 Junior Maths (Years 7–10) to build strong foundations early 🩺 MEDICINE INTERVIEW PREP (SSI + MMI) Biggest misconception: "It's just an interview, walk in and be yourself." Being yourself and behaving naturally is crucial, but so is knowing how to structure your answers and come across exactly as you intend. It takes practice. Most people don't realise the SSI and MMI are very different formats, and both need more specialised preparation than people expect. 🎤 For SSI: ⭐ Past UNSW question bank ⭐ Alternatives to the standard STAR-L structure, so you stand out ⭐ Preparing as a journey of introspection and personal exploration, not a script to memorise ⭐ Anecdote bank and model responses ⭐ Full mock interviews in the later stages of prep 🎤 For MMI: ⭐ Clear explanations of what each question type is testing ⭐ Frameworks to build from when you're stuck ⭐ A large repository of past questions 🎭 Full SSI or MMI mock interview: $150, including detailed feedback and a simulated interview environment 📍 PRICES AND LOCATIONS ✏️ 1-on-1 lessons: $95/hr ✏️ Group lessons (please contact me after forming your own group): $75/hr each ✏️ Medicine interview mock (SSI or MMI): $150 🌐 Online tutoring available 🚗 In-person: Parramatta, Epping and Carlingford Isabella Pan, James Ruse Tutor, James Ruse Biology Tutor, James Ruse Chemistry Tutor, James Ruse Maths Tutor, James Ruse Extension 2 Tutor, James Ruse Medicine Tutor, James Ruse Interview Tutor, UNSW Medicine Tutor, MMI Tutor, SSI Tutor
