Doctor providing Medical Interview Tutoring ************************************************************************** About Me So I went through the graduate cycle in 2016 and have previously interviewed for undergraduate and graduate positions at Monash, Newcastle, Sydney and Melbourne University so I have a lot of experience with the different formats from different universities. Having completed a Bachelor of Biomedicine and graduating with a First Class Honours, I decided to commence the Doctor of Medicine course at the University of Melbourne. Through my approach to study and being able to identify weakness areas, I was able to obtain an ATAR of 99.90 and was the dux of both my high school and college. Because of my application performance in 2020 I was able to land the top medical hospital internships in both Victoria (Royal Melbourne Hospital) and New South Wales. I am currently a doctor with NSW health. I have extensive experience with both interviewing and sitting as an interviewer on numerous panels. ************************************************************************** MMI Program for Medical School I’ve written my own set of worksheets that I walk through with my students. I also run through the structure and approach to medical interviews and include a lot of practice questions relevant to the university you are applying to. The questions that we use have been put together with input from medical specialists, past medical school interviewers and the top medical students across Australia. I have a unique 3 step approach: 1- Theory Our medical interview theory takes you through all of the interview questions and all of the background information you should know for your university. We teach you structured frameworks and models to systematically approach all questions. 2 – Application Each session, you’ll answer real medical school interview questions to practice communication, idea generation and theoretical frameworks. Afterwards, you’ll be given feedback and key takeaway problems to work on. 3 – Simulation After drilling and training with past questions, you’ll be offered the chance to have simulated medical interviews. Our mock interviews have the same stations, topics and questions as your specific medical school. Portfolio Program I also help students with crafting the perfect portfolio applications. Through this program, I'll find out how to make you sound unique, learn how to sell yourself so your application can stand out to the admissions team. I'll work out which details to cut out, which parts of the application need more details and which parts of your life can be written about more relevantly for the medical school admission team. I can also suggest activities for you to improve on weakness areas. My experience with portfolio applications both at an undergrad and postgrad level will help ensure you are able to land an interview at your desired medical school. ************************************************************************** Experience I have had a lot of experience tutoring groups and privately as teaching is a big passion of mine. I’ve had over a decade of tutoring experience, tutoring over 1000 students from high school sciences to university level courses. More relevantly, I’ve tutored the medical interview to 300 + undergraduate and postgraduate medical school applicants to universities such as University of New South Wales, University of Sydney, University of Melbourne, Newcastle, Monash university, University of Western Australia, Australian National University, Deakin, Flinders, Griffith, UNDS, University of Wollongong with nearly all applicants getting into a medical school they applied for. I have had the highest success rate (90%+) in the last few years when universities have been weighing the interview component more heavily in the medical school application. I have a large cohort of students who have had multiple failed attempts in the past who have significant interview weaknesses that often go unrealised. If you have failed before, please try and contact me around 9 months prior to your interview date to allow enough time for significant improvement.
