About

USYD Medicine | ATAR 99.85 | 1st in English Literature | IB 44 | 99th percentile GAMSAT 💌 LIMITED SLOTS 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) Please message me to inquire about group sessions.
