UQ Health Tutor Warren

Hello! My name is Warren Du and I am currently a 3rd year medical student studying my Doctor of Medicine at the University of Queensland and have graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics with a GPA of 6.9/7. A little about myself, ✔️ Currently studying Medicine with a undergraduate degree in Pure Maths ✔️ 99th UCAT Percentile ✔️ 99th GAMSAT Percentile (100 Section 3) ✔️ Achieved ATAR of 99.15 ✔️ Have 6 years of Private Tutoring experience While I am all of the above, this is far from who I was back in my undergraduate degree. I had to work through trial and error to see which studying habits worked and what didn’t. Furthermore, I was caught off guard by the changing nature of university work. However, I pulled myself to being consistently 90+ student in one of the most competitive courses at UQ to achieving the highest percentiles possible in both medicine entry exams, the UCAT and GAMSAT. Well how? Realising that taking mindless notes and brute forcing them into your memory a few days before the exam is not only highly inefficient but also stressful. Understanding the principles and absorbing the content via active recall principles many weeks prior to the exam. I’ll be constantly testing you and giving you my cues and tips - exam time management, weekly time management, avoiding careless mistakes and written responses. It’s incredibly important that your learning is supplemented by a encouraging and empathetic teacher that can understand what you are going through. However, a student’s success is determined 70% by the student and 30% by the teacher. I guarantee my 30% but you must give me your 70% and together we can succeed.
