CASPER Tutors : 1-1 CASPER Preparation

I am a final year medical student at Flinders University who is about to graduate soon. In addition, to studying medicine at Flinders I have also participated in extracurriculars such as university sports and medrevue, as stage manager. Medrevue which is a musical that is organized by medical students every year.

I moved to Australia 10 years ago and did not have much experience with their tertiary education system. However, my experiences with volunteering and private tutoring helped me build a network which later helped me gain useful advice when trying to seek admission into an undergraduate university course. I believe I would be of use to anyone who needs some mentoring while trying to navigate the tertiary education system in Australia.

The networks I was able to establish during the course of my undergraduate degree helped me a lot when trying to gain admission into medicine in Australia. I studied Bachelors of Biomedicine at University of Melbourne graduating with a First class Honors Average and a GPA of 6.8out of a maximum of 7. I was a subjective representative as well. Following my undergraduate degree a spent an year of honors research with the aged care group at the Royal Melbourne Hospital. As a result of my research I was able to publish articles in reputable journals.

I am currently studying medicine at Flinders where some members of the faculty have let me know that I have been scoring in the top 10 % of students. I am a anatomy/dissection tutor for junior medical students as well

Hello, I am Francis. I am a third year medical student at the University of Aberdeen, currently ranked 1st in the UK for Medicine (The Guardian, 2025).

A bit about me, is that I studied an honours degree in Biomedical Science and a Masters of Science in Precision Medicine, graduating with distinction. So I have a lot of wisdom that I can pass down from insight into student life, admissions processes and study tips.

I am uniquely positioned as I have experience in both an online interview and an in-person traditional MMI interview circuit. I received offers from both of my interviews at a Scottish and an English university meaning I understand how the health care systems and the curriculum may differ between regions. I believe this means I can help you have a successful interview regardless if it is online, in person or for a Scottish or English medical school. This is increasingly important as medical applicants broaden their application options. Having recently gone through the medical school application process I have up to date experience on strategically applying to universities and what exactly they are looking for at that all important interview.

I have sat the UCAT a couple of times enhancing my skills each time, and with MedicMinds excellent resources, I am sure I can support you in achieving your best score possible. You may even surprise yourself…

I look forward to helping you reach your goal and good luck with your journey into medicine!

My name is Kathryn and I am originally from Toronto, Canada. I completed my Bachelor’s degree in Life Sciences at Queen’s University in Canada and went on to complete my Master’s in Biomedical and Molecular Sciences also at Queen’s. My Master’s focused on cardiovascular research, which is a field that I will continue to pursue as an academic doctor as part of the Cambridge Academic Foundation Programme. Apart from medicine, I really enjoy the outdoors, cycling, and traveling. I also love trying new foods! As someone who didn’t have these supports growing up, I really want to give back and help other students navigate their way through medicine. After accomplishing my dream with the help of my mentors, I really think that mentorship is critical to this journey so I hope to be a source of academic support, encouragement, and most importantly, a friend.

Hello, I am Ananya! I am currently a first-year Medicine student at the University of Ancona! I have been through GCSE’s, A-Levels, the Medicine application process and the entrance exams; I completely understand how stressful and over-whelming everything feels! I am here to try and ease this stress and make the entire thing slightly easier. If you are someone who needs support with their application, school, the entrance tests and even if you are someone who is looking to go abroad, please do not hesitate to contact me!
A bit about me, My favourite subject at school was: Biology, a few things I love to do in my spare time: reading, go out with friends, try new coffee shops and travel!
My journey into Medicine was a unique one and there was many hurdles but I also think I am well-equipped to provide you with tips and tricks to ensure you become a future med student!

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

Why do we use it?
It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).

Where does it come from?
Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of “de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum” (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, “Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..”, comes from a line in section 1.10.32.

The standard chunk of Lorem Ipsum used since the 1500s is reproduced below for those interested. Sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 from “de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum” by Cicero are also reproduced in their exact original form, accompanied by English versions from the 1914 translation by H. Rackham.

Where can I get some?
There are many variations of passages of Lorem Ipsum available, but the majority have suffered alteration in some form, by injected humour, or randomised words which don’t look even slightly believable. If you are going to use a passage of Lorem Ipsum, you need to be sure there isn’t anything embarrassing hidden in the middle of text. All the Lorem Ipsum generators on the Internet tend to repeat predefined chunks as necessary, making this the first true generator on the Internet. It uses a dictionary of over 200 Latin words, combined with a handful of model sentence structures, to generate Lorem Ipsum which looks reasonable. The generated Lorem Ipsum is therefore always free from repetition, injected humour, or non-characteristic words etc.
