My story

It didn’t start
with a 3360.

My first UCAT score was 2810. When I prepared again, I changed my approach: clearer methods for different question types, purposeful timed practice and an honest review of my mistakes. My score improved to 3360.

I went on to receive multiple medicine and dentistry offers from Newcastle, Western Sydney, Adelaide, Griffith and UWA, and chose to study medicine at Newcastle.

That experience shaped how I teach. Practice became more useful when I understood what needed to change.

How I teach

A clear approach.
A reason behind it.

  1. Understand the approach

    We break down the question or skill, work through an example and discuss why the approach works.

  2. Practise and adapt

    You apply what you’ve learned to different questions. We work on your reasoning, timing or communication, depending on what you need.

  3. Review and improve

    We identify what worked, where you became stuck and what to change in your next attempt.

Student experiences

Different starting points.
Personal progress.

Over the past two years, I’ve supported students with UCAT preparation and medical interviews, including students who received offers from Newcastle JMP, Adelaide and Griffith.

Most of my students are here in Australia, and I also work with students in Canada, New Zealand and beyond who want to study medicine here. Here’s how some of them describe their experience.

I got a 96th percentile… I found it really helpful when we went through the different types of questions for each section and how to approach them.
