James Reynolds, 4th Year Medical Student, University of Melbourne

Co-founder, Specialist GAMSAT Section 3 Tutor

My name is James, and I’m in my final year of medicine at the University of Melbourne. I scored an 84 in Section 3 by approaching it as a problem-solving exercise and focusing on my ability to interpret graphs, recognise patterns and calculate maths equations efficiently rather than rote learning basic sciences. I use this philosophy to teach my students and have thoroughly enjoying seeing my students improve their GAMSAT scores.

In my spare time I love a game of tennis, soccer, chess, or pretty much anything involving some form of competition!

Alvin Joseph, 1st Year Medical Student, University of Sydney

Specialist GAMSAT Section 2 (84), Section 3 (76) Tutor

Hello! My name is Alvin and I will be a first-year medical student at the University of Sydney in 2024. My undergraduate background is in Health Sciences (Therapy Studies) in which I delved deep into the scope and technical knowledge required to be a physiotherapist. I feel very strongly for writing and the humanities in general, which presents a rich battleground for exploring original and innovative ideas as well as creative and analytical capacities limited only by the writer’s skills and imagination. I love listening to students build complex  structures within their ideas from simple foundations and the ‘Eureka’ moment when something clicks and all of a sudden, they have a new understanding of a problematic concept. In my spare time, I am an avid chess player, exerciser and science geek. I look forward to helping many students excel in the GAMSAT.

Ryan Clark, Honours Student, University of Melbourne

Specialist GAMSAT Section 2 (83) Tutor

Hi! I’m a postgraduate Health Policy student at La Trobe. I try to pack my days with study and quiet comforts, but I also play a bit of futsal and coach the senior ladies team at my university. When I have distinct breaks from schoolwork, I like to pick up a book or a new language, or else take up a project in my garden. You can probably tell at this point that I’m a bit of a homebody.

I’m fascinated by language and writing, and I think that having a good understanding of essay techniques and grammatical structure can be really powerful when you’re trying to communicate an idea. I hope to be able to help you excel in GAMSAT Section 2!
