NOTE 1 - SCIENTIFIC PAPER WRITING/EDITING
* One of my 4th year Uni students whom I guided and assisted in writing her thesis has had her original research published in an international journal.
* I've helped PhD students write their theses in biochemistry, psychology and criminology.
* I can edit any student paper from any faculty.

NOTE 2 - GAMSAT
* I'm taking on students now for GAMSAT study for the 2023-2024 exam sittings; over 95% of my students have passed the exam and most are now studying medicine. On average I do one session a week for 50 weeks with a student if they have little background in science.

NOTE 3 - EEI PAPERS IN SCIENCE FOR HIGH SCHOOL YEAR TWELVES
* Nine of my students have gone on to state and national championships with their papers. * In 2017, three of my Yr 12 students had there EEIs chosen for state and national awards; one student had a half page newspaper article written about his biology project.

NOTE 4 - UCAT
* I'm taking on students now for study in the 'new' UCAT format for 2023-2024. If you want to succeed at UCAT you've got to know the ins and outs of the test.
