About Me
Hi! I can offer help with the GAMSAT, GCSE English and Spanish and also the HPAT if needed. I did my undergraduate in UCD in English with a specialisation in Spanish.
GAMSAT:
Despite not having a science background, I managed to raise my section 3 score by 15 points over two sittings, which, along with my high section 1 and 2 scores, was enough for entrance to medical school in Ireland. I sat the GAMSAT twice myself. I used a wide variety of resources and tried a few different study styles and approaches to the exam. I have a way of approaching each question which worked for myself and a friend who I tutored, and which will hopefully work for you! I have an approach to section 2 that I haven’t heard from anyone else but which appears to work. I also know a lot of people who sat the GAMSAT and I can tell you the various approaches to section 2 I heard. I know how frustrating GAMSAT can be so I really hope I can provide some insight into the exam and help you get into medical school! I’m currently in UL so if anyone is interested in going there I can answer any questions you have!
GCSE Spanish/English:
Along with my undergraduate I lived in Spain every summer between the ages of 11 and 17 so I can definitely help you out if you’re looking for a Spanish tutor! I also have some experience teaching a foreign language as I teach English to children at weekends.
My teaching style
I will have you go through questions and think about how you chose a certain answer, regardless of it being right or wrong. We will try to follow your thought process for answers and refine this process. I want to help you understand the methodology behind choosing the right answer, and to help you make an educated guess when you are between two options. I will also have you try a variety of question styles so we can identify what topics/styles of questions you are having problems with.
My past experience
Yes. I teach English to children and have been doing so for several years now.
My Proudest Achievements
I received first prize in the Santander essay writing competition for an essay in Spanish! The competition was against all of UK and Ireland. And of course getting into medical school!
