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.

? 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.

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 — 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
