Macq. Health Tutor Ziyad

Hey, my name is Ziyad - an incoming first-year medical student at Macquarie University. I completed my Bachelor of Science at the University of Melbourne with First Class Honours in Pharmacology. Why I’m a strong fit to support your MMI/CASPER prep and general study: * Achieved a 4Q CASPER on my first attempt * Received a medical school offer after my first MMI, despite entering with a lower-end score combination. * Recovered my GPA from 5.5/7 to 6.9/7 through targeted study and performance strategies. * H1s in all the subjects I tutor * Achieved 7/7 in all IB Chemistry and French AB Initio exams. I offer with a holistic, scenario-driven approach that focuses on the highest-yield aspects of MMI and CASPER performance; empathy, reasoning, problem solving, emotion and ethical awareness. I also ensure that for MMI, you have a thorough knowledge bank to be able to apply these principles to any MMI question that comes your way. My style is intentionally real and non-formulaic. I’ve found that rigid frameworks like STAR can make answers sound rehearsed and robotic. Instead, I help you develop a nuanced, authentic way of thinking, so your responses feel natural, compassionate, and grounded - because at the end of the day you want to come across as a good human not a good preparer. My goal is simple: to help you understand what worked for me, what didn’t, and how to elevate your MMI and CASPER performance as much as possible. Note; I offer a free 20 minute consultation to discuss your goals and aspirations, how my sessions will work and be structured, and what you can do between sessions to ensure your maximising the efficiency of your preparation.
