Our Story.
We understand applying for post-graduate medicine is difficult – we’ve been there. We remember scouring the internet for resources: asking friends-of-friends-of-friends for advice, taking any opportunity to ensure we had the best chance of getting in.
That’s why we created GamsatScience. Developed by a small group of medical and dental students, this is a platform for current medical and dental students to pass on their knowledge to those aspiring to follow in their footsteps.
For those looking to enter medicine or dentistry, here you’ll find medical and dental students who truely excel in the areas they tutor, eager to share their aquired wisdom.

Alison, 4th Year Dental Student, University of Melbourne

Hi, I’m currently in my final year of my Doctor of Dental Surgery degree at the University of Melbourne.

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!

My name is Amy and I’m a final year medical student! I’ve been tutoring for 5 years and I love watching students gain confidence in the topics they once found daunting. In my spare time you’ll find me embracing my inner grandma: knitting or crocheting with a cup of tea in hand.

I’m a first year medical student at University of Melbourne and a registered nurse for the past 3 years.

Yes, it’s possible!
When I’m not working or studying, I’m learning to play squash, learning how to swim, reading on politics or daydreaming about establishing e-commerce businesses. I can’t wait to find out more about you and how I can play a small part in your journey to achieve your goals.
Jayne See, 3rd Year Dental Student, University of Melbourne

In my last sitting, I scored 81 for Section 3. I am passionate in teaching and wish to assist more students to achieve competitive GAMSAT score.
I am an active person and love going to pilates, gym and hiking during my spare time.
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!
