4.7 (40 student reviews)
Over two decades ago I sat the GAMSAT, achieving medical entrance in the early 2000s. That experience became the foundation of a tutoring practice that has since guided more than a thousand candidates through one of the most demanding admissions tests.
The GAMSAT does not reward memorisation. It tests reasoning under time pressure across three distinct domains, and most tutors limit themselves to one section. I teach all three sections. My own background — spanning the sciences, the humanities, and sustained academic writing — made the full span a natural fit.
I have worked with school-leavers chasing early entry, career-changers in their thirties and forties, and international applicants navigating an unfamiliar system. Each cohort taught me something about how the test actually behaves, and what separates the candidates who clear it from those who stall.
The most tangible result of those years is a question bank of some eight thousand questions, built and refined across every section. It is not borrowed material. It is the accumulated product of two decades of teaching, modelled on the genuine structure and reasoning demands of the examination, and revised every time the test shifts.

"I enlisted the help of Lindsay after experiencing great difficulty in undertaking self-directed study for the GAMSAT test. The sheer volume and scope of assessable material was quite overwhelming, even with the help of Des O’Neill and ACER materials. I found it particularly daunting given it was my first attempt and I had never formally studied chemistry before, let alone organic chemistry. Lindsay was very approachable from the onset and was able to not only provide tutoring in selected areas, but also took on the role of mentor in helping me navigate all 3 GAMSAT sections. Lindsay provided much needed context and direction in how to approach the exam and which areas to focus on. Although I initially enlisted Lindsay’s services for section 3, Lindsay’s knowledge of the GAMSAT meant that he was able to direct me to also concentrate on areas which I would have otherwise neglected, leading to a strong performance in all 3 sections. For instance, with the help of Lindsay’s guidance in interpreting and approaching the often ambiguous and highly nuanced GAMSAT style questions, I was able to score over 70 in section 1. I would highly recommend Lindsay as someone who is experienced, knowledgeable, approachable and well worth the hourly rate. Thank you Lindsay for your help in my journey towards studying medicine!"
