Hello! My name is EJ, and I am a S1/S2 GAMSAT tutor. Currently, I am pursuing a degree in Medicine at the University of Sydney (USYD). I hold a Bachelor of Biomedical Science (Hons) from Monash University, where I graduated with a 6.79 GPA (7 with WAMnesty!). In the GAMSAT, I achieved excellent scores, reaching the 98th Percentile in S1 and 97th Percentile in S2. I can also provide assistance with S3, as my score in that section was 72 (~90th Percentile). With 2 years of experience as a GAMSAT and HSC English tutor, I also have an extensive background as a VCE English/Methods/Biology tutor, spanning 6 years. My tutoring expertise lies in Sections 1 and 2. I firmly believe in building a solid foundation before refining specific skills. In Section 1, I teach various approaches to tackle different types of reasoning, text types, and question formats. For Section 2, I focus on enhancing your essay structure, fluency, and ideas. I conduct my tutoring sessions primarily through Zoom, offering flexibility and convenience. However, for those in the inner west/east/CBD Sydney area (or inner south-east Melbourne between December-January), I can organise in-person lessons as well. Rates: One-on-one online tutoring: $75 per hour One-on-one in-person tutoring: $100 per hour Group sessions (online) with 2 people: $50 per person per hour Group sessions (online) with 3 or more people: $45 per person per hour I also provide Essay Marking services with personalised feedback.

EJ is an absolutely amazing tutor, he has such a wealth of knowledge in all areas. He has a very logical and personalised approach to effectively improving upon S1 and especially S2, where he focuses not only on structure but the content of the essays too (coming from someone who is not good at writing essays). He gives fantastic constructive feedback to help you improve, is patient, understanding and is flexible, especially with the Zoom sessions. With 90th percentile on my first GAMSAT attempt, I can't recommend EJ enough!

EJ has been of immense help preparing for the S1 and S2 GAMSAT. My S2 score was stuck on high 60s and with a few tweaks per EJ's guidance, I was able to score 70+ this recent GAMSAT. EJ provides relevant yet nuanced examples I can use in my essay writing and also helps with constructing better sentences. I would recommend EJ if you wish to find someone who has a very non-judgemental and patient teaching style!

EJ was fantastic! He keeps you motivated, provides excellent resources and feedback on draft essays, is personable, and effectively shares his wealth of knowledge on sections 1 and 2. If you're looking for guidance on how to structure your approach to sections 1 and 2, I couldn't recommend EJ more!

EJ tutored me in S1 and S2, and I couldn't be more grateful for his guidance. His expertise in essay structuring proved invaluable, and was tailored to where I was at then which allowed me to progress organically. We did like a deep dive into various philosophical themes that could appear in the GAMSAT essay pool and how to connect these ideas with my own knowledge, enhancing my ability to communicate effectively. Furthermore, his assistance with vocabulary not only enriched my essays but also significantly improved my performance in the reading comprehension aspect of Section 1.

EJ really helped me with the GAMSAT. I was hopeless with section 2, and somehow even worse with section 1. But EJ was patient with me and really helped me figure out the best way for me to approach things to feel confident and do my best. If he can help me, he can help anyone!

EJ's personalised and professional approach to tutoring took me to a new level with my S1/S2 GAMSAT prep. He was able to teach me key specific section skills and do so in an individualised and methodical way. As a result my performance dramatically improve and I cannot recommend him enough to anyone looking to prepare for the GAMSAT!

EJ was a great tutor in helping me with section 2 gamsat especially in assisting me to develop a writing style that was able to adapt to a range of different styles and stimulus. I would recommend EJ as an experienced and helpful tutor to gamsat students.

Eeshan has a really unique take that I hadn’t heard from other tutors! He’s really up to date with current affairs and how to incorporate them into the essay! He’s also gives great tips on how to stay calm in the lead up to gamsat!

EJ really helped me improve my S2 score. He worked with me on my essay structure and helped me understand the nuances of the exam. I found our Zoom sessions to be a really convenient/flexible way to work around my schedule. He really helped make complex concepts and the thematic ideas you need for s2 clear. His emphasis on essay structure and idea development significantly boosted my Section 2 confidence. Unlike other tutors, EJ invested time to ensure comprehension before moving forward. His commitment to excellence shines through, and I highly recommend him for anyone aiming to do better in Sections 1 and 2.

EJ's tutoring helped with my essay construction, nuanced content development, and effective communication strategies were instrumental in shaping my progress. EJ's personalised feedback honed my writing skills, allowing me to craft compelling arguments with confidence. His patient and tailored approach ensured that I not only acquired valuable insights but also witnessed a remarkable improvement in my performance. I fully endorse EJ as a GAMSAT Section 2 tutor to anyone aspiring for not just growth, but true excellence in this crucial segment.

EJ is a fantastic S1/S2 tutor, he gives really practical tips for comprehension that can be applied to your very next practice paper. I think its so important to get a second opinion on draft essays for S2, and in this area in particular his insight is invaluable!
