UniMelb Health Tutor Mary

I reached out to Mary for help with the MMI just weeks before my interview. Despite the short notice, she was incredibly accommodating, working around my schedule, and was highly supportive during a time when I was feeling extremely anxious and underprepared. Mary designed lesson plans that were tailored specifically to my needs, focusing on areas that I struggled in, by using her own Powerpoint slides. What stood out to me the most was the consistency of her support and attentiveness. She came to every session well-prepared, up-to-date with my progress, and would adjust our sessions as I improved or as new concerns arose. Drawing from her experience in medical school, Mary also helped me grasp the key qualities and core attributes emphasised throughout the medical school curriculum. Which helped me better understand what interviewers were assessing and looking for in applicants. Unlike larger tutoring companies that provided generic and vague feedback, Mary gave specific suggestions on how to reframe or restructure my answers to strengthen my arguments and communicate more effectively under pressure. I’m incredibly grateful for her encouragement and support, which helped me grow my confidence, and ultimately helped me secure an offer at my top-choice university. I truly would recommend her to anyone preparing for their interview!!

Mary was an absolutely amazing MMI tutor who walked through each aspect of the interview in really comprehensive detail. Leading up to the MMI, I found myself struggling quite a bit with the structure of my responses, but Mary was incredibly patient in demonstrating different approaches and guiding me towards one that suited my personal style. Her feedback was always specific, targeted, and relevant to each individual station, which helped me understand exactly where and how I could improve. I left the classes feeling more confident and better prepared. Highly recommend Mary for MMI prep!!

Mary is one of the best tutors I have had to date. She is very organised for sessions and structured lessons based on the different stations in the MMI (with PowerPoint slides and written feedback). She's very patient and supportive, tailoring the sessions to my knowledge and experience in the topics. Through her kind words and constructive feedback, my confidence in MMIs and the quality of my answers increased drastically. Thank you Mary!

I contacted Mary two weeks before my med interview, and I honestly started off extremely nervous and had a lot of self doubt. Mary made me feel extremely comfortable and honestly ran tutoring sessions I looked forward to attending. Mary helped me switch my mindset from believing I had no chance, to helping me reflect on what skills and values I can contribute to the profession. Mary provided constructive feedback and focused on identifying my own values and strengths, rather than providing scripted answers. Mary’s empathy and professional approach make her an amazing tutor and will make her an even better Doctor!

Mary is the perfect tutor! I can definitely tell that she puts a lot of energy and effort preparing for the lesson. She’s very patient, encouraging, has great knowledge, and always makes the lessons tailored for my needs. Her valuable knowledge, resources, time and effort just shows how much she cares about her students - a commitment you don’t usually see from others. My GAMSAT scores and MMI answers/confidence have improved significantly. I wholeheartedly recommend Mary as a tutor. Thank you Mary!
