UniMelb Health Tutor Shayden

Shayden is one of the most brilliant tutors you will ever have. I started the GAMSAT journey with 0 confidence in myself, and Shayden’s depth of knowledge and ability to convey his understanding allowed me to get 75 in S2 in my first sitting. After the first year, I had a goal to get 80+ in S2 in my second year, and Shayden tailored the tutoring to allow me to progress in my score, and I ended up getting an 81 in section 2. His feedback is invaluable, often times I would write an essay and his feedback would be longer than the essay itself, allowing me to progress and learn from my mistakes. His knowledge is also ridiculous, I’ve never met someone who has such a well rounded understanding of global issues and philosophy. Additionally, shayden helped me in the MMI, and his sessions were invaluable as he created mock MMIs, so I was probably more stressed doing the mocks than the actual interview. It really allowed me to work on timing and relaying information that I wanted to convey during the actual interview, and I don’t think I would have got a CSP at Melbourne without him. Aside from scores though, shayden helped me to be passionate about social justice issues and history, allowing me to really love studying for S2 or the MMI rather than seeing it as a chore. He also is happy to support you mentally throughout the journey, which I think plays a pivotal role especially when self doubt creeps in during the process.

Shayden played a pivotal role in securing my acceptance into my dream course! His tutoring was tailored precisely to my learning style, and his teaching approach was both engaging and easily comprehensible. His genuine passion for aiding students in achieving their goals was evident throughout our sessions. Shayden provided invaluable insights into Section 2 of the GAMSAT, ensuring I felt thoroughly prepared for the exam. Post-GAMSAT, his assistance extended to interview preparation, offering detailed and constructive feedback. I cannot emphasise enough how highly I recommend Shayden's support and guidance. Thank you so much Shayden!

Cannot recommend Shayden enough! His approach is super friendly, non-judgemental and easy to follow. In probably only about 8-9 lessons, Shayden helped me improve the standard of my writing from low 50s to a 71!

I cannot recommend Shayden enough as a GAMSAT Section 2 tutor. He consistently provided me with constructive feedback on my essays, challenging me to think critically about the prompts and approach each essay with a clear and concise thesis. After just a few sessions, my confidence grew significantly, and I felt equipped to approach a wide range of topics and write well-structured essays in the short time given. I feel that Shayden genuinely cares for his students' success and can be recommended to anyone!

Shayden is an amazing tutor! He is very approachable and knowledgable, and provided me with everything I needed to succeed in S2. With Shayden's help just 1 month before the exam I improved from a 62 in S2 to a 74! Highly recommend!

I cannot recommend Shayden enough for GAMSAT section II tutoring. He is extremely knowledgeable about a wide range of topics and is great at providing guidance on how to structure the essay and for understanding high-yield topics :) Thanks so much Shayden!

Shayden is a rare and phenomenal tutor. He is incredibly articulate and possesses an unmatched wealth of knowledge. I began improving dramatically in Section 2 after a few lessons due to the very thorough feedback Shayden provided. On top of that, Shayden accommodated my hectic schedule with great flexibility and demonstrated outstanding patience. I wish I reached out to him sooner!

Shayden was a fantastic Section 2 + MMI tutor. I think Shayden's biggest strength is his ability to go back to first principles. For Section 2, he helped to crystallise my ideas into clear concepts. For the MMI, he broke down each station into the core attributes that were being assessed. In the nebulous application process, being able to bring this clarity to tutoring is critical. I would highly recommend him for either Section 2 of the GAMSAT or MMI tutoring.

I reached out to Shayden for section 2 GAMSAT tutoring. Shayden’s calm, respectful and accepting attitude to my sessions was beyond accommodating. Shayden brings phenomenal breadth of knowledge, ideas, and understanding for the goal at hand. Shayden designs each interaction with the focus on the needs of the student. For potential students of Shayden, you will be relieved you took the chance. Well done, Shayden!

Shayden was a tremendous help in preparing for my upcoming gamsat! With only a few sessions I felt my language and structure of my section 2 essays improved immensely! He was super accomodating and went out of his way to assist my friend and I in our last minute study for the gamsat. Couldn’t recommend more highly :)

Shayden was a fantastic tutor. He was able to help me restructure my section 2 part B essays and was able to help me make incredible plans for a wide range of essay topics. His lessons were well structured and thorough which helped me quickly improve both my essay writing and planning. If you are looking for a GAMSAT tutor Shayden is the best choice!

Shayden is a remarkable tutor! I really struggled with section 2, particularly with idea generation and essay structuring, and he has helped me immensely. Shayden has a wide range of knowledge and super interesting ideas/evidence for any topic you could think of. I really appreciated how personalised his tutoring approach was, as he made sure to always help build ideas around what I wanted to write about and tailored his tutoring to help improve my specific weaknesses. I also felt really comfortable sharing my ideas/essays with Shayden, as he was always really respectful and supportive. I highly recommend Shayden as a tutor!!

Shayden is a great mentor! Over 1 month, I've really grown to love section 2 - being a section I was challenged by in my preparation in the past. He was also really helpful in section 1, particularly in the challenging passages. Additionally, Shayden maintains a high standard of professionalism and respect throughout our lessons. Thanks Shayden!
