Melbourne tutor in Biology, Essay Writing, GAMSAT, Medical Interviews

I'm Mario, a 27 year old 3rd year University of Melbourne medical student offering tutoring for GAMSAT Sections II and I. Specifically, I scored 86 in section II, placing me in the 100th percentile. I offer a logical and clear method for writing GAMSAT essays, focusing on essay structure and idea generation.

Lesson Structure: I offer personalized, 1-hour tutoring sessions, built on 9 years of tutoring experience, focused on mastering the critical thinking required for high Section II scores.
My Approach:
- review your submitted work beforehand to instantly gauge your level, strengths, and weaknesses.
- discuss essential essay approaches and core ideas, focusing on how to integrate historical and political examples to develop a balanced, sophisticated argument.
- we complete mini writing tasks during the session to immediately apply techniques.
- I assign tailored out-of-class practice to ensure continuous skill development.
This method moves your essays beyond basic structure to meet the depth and breadth required for for a successful section II essay.

A little bit about me: Australian National University, I completed a double degree in Arts (psychology and literature) and Philosophy, Politics and Economics. In my spare time, I taught myself the sciences required to sit the GAMSAT. I have always loved reading and writing and enjoy reading broadly (fiction, critical theory, history, etc.) and in my spare time, love spending time with friends camping, playing chess and enjoying a glass of wine on the weekend. During the week I enjoy swimming, running and going to the gym, as well as enjoying the sun when Melbourne weather permits.
