USYD Health Tutor Oliver
*Free first consult (see below)* Over 50 students tutored. Increased S1 score from 63 -> 75, and consistently scored 72+ in S2.
Hi, I’m Oliver, I'm a 1st year med student at USYD offering tutoring for the GAMSAT and undergrad Philosophy classes (see below). Prior to medicine I completed a Masters degree in Philosophy.
I received 75/72/63 in the 2025 March GAMSAT, and have since worked as an S1/S2 tutor. I have tutored approximately 50 GAMSAT students so far (some of which was through a big tutoring company, which I have since left as I really do not think they are effective in terms of the cost-benefit for students). I am now focusing on 1:1 GAMSAT tutoring as I find it more rewarding both for me and my students. Considering my non-science background, and my scores themselves, I offer S1/S2 teaching only, however I am always happy to share my resources for S3 to my students.
Because I like to spend the first session getting to know a student and working out where I can actually be of use, I am happy to do these first sessions unpaid, and with no expectation of further sessions.
I found over the course of my GAMSAT prep that S1 was not only the most challening, but also the most rewarding section to 'crack' (in terms of finding what ACER really is asking of you).
With S2, I have marked over 100 essays from students, and feel I have a strong sense of what 'must be done' to score well, while at the same time remaining aware that there exists a VAST array of successfull approaches to S2. I have put a great deal of effort into working out how to explain what ACER is looking for, without keyholing students into fixed structures/approaches (which is a sure fire way to score poorly).
I offer sessions either online or face-to-face near USYD or the CBD.
$80/hr for 1:1 sessions, happy to do group sessions at discounted rates.
PHILOSOPHY tutoring
Mainly offering this as I find it personally enjoyable - I received my MA in Philosophy, 1st class honours from USYD, and have had an article from my masters published in a major journal. Reach out to discuss specifics if you are after help with any undergrad classes :)
