GEMSAS medicine offers are coming out on 30 October. If you don't get one this time, I'm so sorry. I've been exactly where you are, and I know how much it hurts. Please be gentle with yourself and take a moment to just breathe. When you're ready, I've written about what to do next in this post, and you can always email me at hello@gamsattutorials.org. Hospitals are full of doctors who didn't get a medicine offer the first time.

Self-paced, built around what ACER actually tests, and yours for life. Each one costs a fraction of what the large prep companies charge.
Section 1 · A$95

Reasoning in Humanities and Social Sciences

A step-by-step approach to every text type, including poetry, cartoons and graphs. Includes a diagnostic paper and assignments that I mark.
Section 2 · from A$200

Written Communication

Lessons on ideas, structure and style, high-scoring sample essays, and personal feedback on your writing. Also available with 10 marked essays for A$380.
Free

Section 2 essay marking

Send me one essay and I’ll mark it with written and video feedback. Places open for short windows.
CASPer, interview coaching and 1:1 tutoring are currently closed to new students.

How I teach

Most students who plateau are already doing plenty of practice. What’s usually missing is a clear sense of what ACER is rewarding, and a method they can use on questions they haven’t seen before.
The courses start there. Each one breaks down what the section is really testing, gives you a way of working through any question or prompt, and builds in feedback from me so you know whether it’s working.

What students say

“I tried a few expensive courses before, but none explained things clearly. GAMSAT Tutorials gave me a clear system for both sections, plus free YouTube tutorials I could revisit anytime.”
Emma · March 2025 · +9 in Section 1
“I couldn’t justify spending thousands on GAMSAT prep, but this course gave me everything I needed. The Section 2 feedback was clear and actionable. My essay score jumped from 62 to 73 in just a few weeks.”
Sarah · March 2023 · +11 in Section 2
“Section 1 had always frustrated me, but the strategies in this course finally made sense. I learned how to focus on what ACER actually tests instead of wasting time on filler practice.”
Matthew · September 2024 · +10 in Section 1

About me

Like most people sitting the GAMSAT, I found the process stressful, confusing and expensive. I started a YouTube channel explaining Section 1 questions the way I wished someone had explained them to me, then began tutoring, and eventually built these courses.
It’s still just me. I write the lessons, mark the essays and answer the emails. I keep prices low because I think everyone should have a fair shot at medicine, whatever their budget.
