About

USYD Medicine | ATAR 99.85 | 1st in English Literature | IB 44 | 99th percentile GAMSAT 💌 Summer School Currently Open Hi! My name is Kim. I’m currently completing the Doctor of Medicine at the University of Sydney, after graduating from the University of Melbourne with First Class Honours. I received academic scholarships throughout both degrees, graduated high school with an IB score of 44/45 (ATAR equivalent 99.85), placed 1st in English Literature, and later scored in the 99th percentile of GAMSAT. I understand that students who perform consistently well are not necessarily the smartest; they know how to learn effectively, manage their time, and study with purpose. Rather than only explaining content, I work as both a tutor and mentor. My goal is to help students develop the confidence, habits, and critical-thinking skills needed to become independent learners long after our lessons conclude. My students receive: 🧵Tailored lessons to individual needs and learning styles 📚 Resource bank with exam-styled questions and worksheets 📖 Evidence-based techniques to improve retention (active recall, spaced repetition, note-taking strategies) 🎓 Strategies to excel both inside and beyond the classroom I also mentor students preparing for selective high school exams or interested in competitive university pathways, including medicine and dentistry. My students have received first-round offers from Go8 universities for competitive degrees such as MBBS and MD. With more than 5 years of tutoring experience across primary to university-level subjects, I am confident I can help students understand and retain knowledge in a way that suits their unique learning style. If you are looking for a tutor to help you understand the material, develop strong study skills, and build confidence, I’d love to help. I currently offer: ⭐️Y3 - 10 - English, Maths, Science ⭐️ Y11 - 12 - English, Biology, Chemistry, Psychology, Extended Essay, Theory of Knowledge all curriculums including VCE, HSC, A-levels, IB ⭐️ Selective school coaching ⭐️ Medicine/Dentistry entry exams - UCAT, BMAT, GAMSAT ⭐️ Medicine/Dentistry interview coaching - (1st-round offers from USYD, UniMelb, UNSW, ANU, Monash, UQ, UoA, Macquarie, and UWA) Message me to inquire about group sessions!
