Barry L.
Private tutor in Melbourne, Australia
Education
I studied at the University of Melbourne and completed a combined chemical engineering and science degree in 2009. I maintained a high GPA and competed comfortably with first-class honors. I also received the Dean's Award in 2006 and the ALCOA Future Leaders of Industry Award in 2008.
Experience
I am a professional and very experienced tutor. I have helped numerous students gain confidence in math and science. I tutor a wide range of subjects at many levels, but my specialty is helping aspiring medical students with Section 3 of the GAMSAT. In the March 2017 sitting, I received a GAMSAT Section 3 score of 77. The GAMSAT can seem daunting, but I can show you some strategies and tips to help you gain confidence in Section 3. Many of my students improved their scores significantly and, in some cases, were finally able to achieve a 70+ score. I have taught numerous subjects, including VCE Maths Methods, VCE Chemistry, VCE Physics, BMS1031 Medical Biophysics, and many more.

"Preparing for GAMSAT was rather daunting but sessions with Barry really helped me overcome the mound of revision you have to cover. He is able to use everyday analogies to explain complex concepts. He has an easy understanding friendly nature too which is a bonus in a tutor. I highly recommend Barry." - Charmaine "Barry was an awesome help preparing for the gamsat. He has a broad range of knowledge on all of the areas covered in the test, and usually has a good analogy or resource for helping to learn new or unusual concepts, and study tips. I know that Barry helped me achieve a higher score than i otherwise would have scored." - Jordan "I've attended three of Barry's GAMSAT workshops so far and all of them have been excellent. Barry offers an alternative perspective to answering a question, favouring reason and logic over assumed knowledge. I find his workshops useful in calming my anxiety about the upcoming GAMSAT, which has previously hindered my performance. Keep up the good work, Barry!" - Dahlia
