"After watching Kate’s videos and having tutoring with her, it became much clearer to me what is expected from a GAMSAT essay, how to quickly structure an essay, how to prepare my example bank to draw my argument from, and how to take a mediocre essay to the next level. Kate is very approachable and understanding. I would highly recommend her as your Section 2 tutor if you need some guidance and help."

"Kate is a friendly and knowledgeable tutor who has been incredibly helpful with explaining the content and expectations of section II. She provides structure and accountability to my studies which has encouraged me to practice consistently and focus on improving my essay writing skills."

"Kate is a delightful person and an amazing teacher. GAMSAT S2 was the most dreaded section for me, and I really don’t like writing. So, I enrolled in the course and organised private tutoring with Kate. Even after a few videos from the course and one private tutoring session, I felt so much better about my S2 preparation. She is a very professional, organised, supportive and kind teacher. I highly recommend the course and private tutoring with Kate which helped me immensely in approaching my S2 preparation in a more structured and enjoyable way."
Why an online course?
There is a gap in access to practical, accessible, in-depth advice for GAMSAT Section 2.
During my preparation, I spent hours upon hours and too much money searching for solid information that would tell me what I needed to know to get the S2 mark I needed for Medicine.
I want to help save you the same time and money during your preparation and offer that information to you all in one place so that you can score 80+ in Section 2 too.
I've always loved online education and since the success of my YouTube videos, I knew this would be the way I could help the most people.
An online course will allow me to craft all of my ideas into one place so I can show you exactly what it is you need to do to get 80 too.
Look forward to having you on board!
About Me
Hi friends, I'm Kate.
I scored 80 in Section 2 of the GAMSAT in the March 2021 sitting. This put me in the top 0.7% of that section. I received an overall score of 59|80|62.
This was my first attempt at the GAMSAT and I did this without an arts degree or much experience writing essays. So, if I can do it, I reckon you can too.
Now, I'm committed to helping others achieve their goal of getting into Medicine and will do whatever I can to help you to do just that :)
