GAMSAT 5 15-02-2022
Lancia is an incredibly efficient, compassionate tutor with a passion for teaching. Lancia has guided me every step of the way in the humanities section of the GAMSAT with various strategies to tackle both sections. Her structured lessons and the pre-readings in preparation for our lessons has helped me better understand certain themes to generate interesting ideas for the essay writing section. Above all, Lancia is a very friendly and approachable tutor who is willing to tailor her teaching style to address student specific learning needs. I am forever grateful to Lancia for helping me overcome the humanities section of GAMSAT and to finally receive 2 offers to study Medicine.

GAMSAT - Section 2 5 20-01-2022
I cannot recommend Lancia enough to anyone looking to sit the GAMSAT. Section 2 of the GAMSAT was the section that I dreaded the most. At the start of my GAMSAT study journey, I wasn’t even able put my thoughts onto paper; I struggled to understand what was required in a section 2 essay, and how to structure my responses fast enough to fit within the 30 Minutes time limit. Once I got in touch with Lancia, she provided me with essay scaffolds that were extremely easy to understand and apply. In addition, the lessons with Lancia helped me grasp various themes and ideas, as well as develop my own ideas to use in my essays. Above all, Lancia is a wonderful person to work with and I always looked forward to our lessons. From the start Lancia made me feel very comfortable, which allowed me to share and develop ideas openly without the stress of being wrong. Thanks to Lancia, I was able to overcome my section 2 struggles and receive an offer to study medicine.

I have been working with Lancia on and off for the last 12 month. Currently completing my Masters. In that time I have consistently improved and now I’m achieving distinction averages for my work. Lancia is very supportive, provides great feedback and coaching. I would have no hesitation in recommend Lancia if you were genuinely serious about improving and enhancing your writing skills and ultimately your grades.

I can't speak highly enough of Lancia, she is a dedicated, supportive and patient tutor. Before I contacted Lancia, I was struggling to get a start on my essay, was worried I wouldn't pass, as previous to contacting Lancia, I had failed an essay for this subject and this would be my second attempt. My mind was put at ease, just after my first conversation with Lancia, and that was just to make a consultation time! Lancia went above and beyond to help me, the due date for my essay was fast approaching and my time availability was restricted due to work commitments, Lancia offered to consult with me out of her normal working hours, which I cannot thank her enough for. Lancia ensured she had full knowledge of the topic my essay was on and even provided me with secondary reading sources to help me understand the topic better. I received a HD for this essay and it's all thanks to Lancia! Lancia, I am extremely grateful, for everything you have done for me and I appreciate all the extra work/hours you put in. I very much, look forward to working with you in the future.

Over many sessions, she has helped me to develop the critical thinking skills necessary for the essay section. Not only does she have great resources to help you gain insight into different perspective, she spends a lot of quality time going over essays face to face. With her help, I ended up achieving 82 in section II

Lancia was my tutor for GAMSAT essay writing and she has wide knowledge in humanities and current affairs. She helped me with grammar, essay structure, themes to cover, how to maximise my scores in GAMSAT within the time frame and areas to improve. She provided me with plenty of materials, helped me research and improve my confidence in essay writing. I had a pleasant time with Lancia and would recommend her for GAMSAT English!

I have worked with Lancia many times. She is always friendly and genuine. She has helped me to break down huge assignments, create structures and make sure the question is being answered. As well as point me in the direction of extra resources and edit my work as I am going. Together we have tackled, speeches, blogs, essays and presentation skills. It has been a great investment as I am more confident and skilled as a result.

Lancia is a fantastic tutor, I was recommended to her by another student of hers. She helped give me a solid understanding of essay structures and how to write academically. I received my first distinction for my essay that Lancia guided me with and I would recommend her to any student in need of tutoring. I will be using her services in the future she is wonderful.

Lancia has been great throughout my whole degree. She helped me with my academic writing, in particular essays which I am terrible at. There is no way I would have gotten the high marks I received without her help.

Lancia's ability to identify my specific areas of need and turn those into essay writing strengths, has helped me obtain university marks far beyond my initial expectations.

Lancia is very nice and helpful person. I believe, Lancia always gave me great feedback. She had constructive, concrete ideas for how to improve my essays and really answer the given prompt. Her attitude in tutoring was very positive and supportive. She was willing to help as if it was her own paper and gave me lots of encouragement. Lancia was amazing! She worked through my prompt with me and helped me develop new ideas and make new analysis I never would've recognized before our session. It was very helpful, and my paper is much stronger because of her.

I was lucky I found Lancia . My tutor is a practical and very innovative teacher. Teaching me English, she gives me confidence in the different aspects of the language. After a few months doing once a week face to face, resolving homework ,writing essays, using the email and the phone, I can see the improvement in my communication between friends, neighbors and coworkers and with my family. Thank you Lancia.

It is my first year at university and I found it extremely difficult especially coming from a background with no academic knowledge/skills. Lancia structured lessons around my level of education and level of knowledge which i had no essay writing skills at all. I went to the 5 tutorials ran by my institute for academic writing/referencing and essay structure for mature age and 1st year students and gained nothing from it. The one on one lessons with Lancia helped me gain a better understanding. Thanks to Lancia I have gone from 42 fail, to a 63 pass and by the following semester my goal is to achieve a credit. Lancia is an excellent motivator and has great communication skills via email, telephone and face to face lessons. I`ve had a couple of lessons with Lancia and over 30 email and phone conversations past the last 3 months I’ve known her. Lancia taught me not only what is expected at a university level but gave me the confidence to pursue my dreams as a primary school teacher. Now i am a single mother who is more determined then ever to finish my bachelor of social science and master of teaching.
