"I got into all 6 universities I applied to. Dan's MMI coaching was the difference-maker."

Why Dan?
Dan is a current University of Melbourne MD student who achieved a 99.85 ATAR and knows exactly what it takes to get into Australia's most competitive medical programs. He was hand-picked by the moderators of r/GAMSAT — the largest GAMSAT community in Australia — to coach their own members.
Why this matters
The r/GAMSAT moderators spend years immersed in every tutor, resource and strategy the community discusses. They are among the most informed applicants in the country. When they needed coaching for themselves, they chose Dan — not another provider, not a company. No other tutor in Australia can claim this.
With 200+ students coached — including candidates who received offers from all 6 universities they applied to, doctors accepted into specialty training programs, and GP applicants who passed RACGP CASPer on their first attempt — Dan's methods are proven, personalised, and built around what actually works in the room.
What I Offer
Every student I take on gets a plan built from their actual application, their actual weak points, and their actual target programs. If you want a framework, download a PDF. If you want to get in, let's talk.
Master the Multiple Mini Interview with structured practice, live feedback, and insider knowledge of what Australian medical school interviewers are actually looking for.
CASPer catches people off-guard. Dan's method breaks down the hidden scoring logic and trains you to respond under pressure - fast, authentic, and in Q4.
Section II is the most underestimated section. Dan's essay framework has helped students jump from average to band-busting scores with structured, high-impact writing.
Applying for Ophthalmology, Surgery, Emergency Medicine, Psychiatry, Dermatology, or Radiology training? The format is identical to medical school MMI - but the stakes are higher and the assessors more demanding. Dan has coached doctors successfully through specialist selection and knows exactly what sets candidates apart at this level.
The RACGP uses the same Casper Test as medical schools for AGPT and FSP entry - but doctors are held to a higher bar. Years of clinical experience can actually trip you up if you default to the registrar voice instead of the reflective one Casper rewards. Dan coaches doctors at the registrar standard. ACRRM applicants - who sit MMI - should book a Specialist MMI session instead.
Group Events
Deep-dive group sessions for students who want more than 1:1 - structured, high-value, and built around what actually moves the needle.

Real Results
Medical school applicants, specialist trainees, and GP registrants. No scripts, no actors.
I got into all 6 universities I applied to. Dan's MMI coaching was the difference-maker - he taught me how to think on my feet, not just recite memorised answers.
The most comprehensive tutor I've worked with. Dan doesn't just tell you what to do - he explains the why behind every answer, which totally changed how I approached CASPer.
I was in absolute disbelief when I got CSP. I genuinely didn't think I had a chance. Dan saw potential in me that I couldn't see in myself and built my confidence from the ground up.
As a doctor applying for Ophthalmology training, I thought I'd be fine going in without prep. I was wrong. Dan shifted how I framed every answer - away from clinical competence and toward genuine human insight. I got into RANZCO training at Royal Melbourne first round.
I'd heard RACGP CASPer was just like the med school version - it's not. The clinical framing caught me off guard in my first practice session with Dan. Two sessions later I had a completely different approach. Matched to RACGP GP training on my first attempt.
Transparency Record
Anyone who boasts 100% should be considered very carefully. Here's the honest picture.
In 2025 Dan had 38 medicine applicants & doctors, with 34 receiving Q4. Notably, 3 of these had previously received Q1 - a testament to how much the preparation can move the needle.
All 10 international students received offers. Of 35 domestic students, 32 received offers. Dan also had 5 undergraduate students, with 4 receiving offers. Multiple specialist and GP training doctors were also successfully coached in this period.
The Process
Three steps from where you are to where you want to be. No fluff, no wasted sessions.
