Student experiences.
Coaching and practice, in their words.

Dan is a great MMI tutor. His feedback is very specific and he often picks up on details which no one else does. For me he was most helpful in developing my ability to express empathy and making my responses significantly more genuine. I would suggest Dan if you have already done some MMI preparation and are looking to fine tune your skills and stand out.

I found Dan through a Google search, and I genuinely thank the universe every day that I came across his profile because he played a huge role in helping me get into medical school. I graduated with a good GPA, but I was always unsure about my application since I felt my GAMSAT score wasn’t particularly competitive. From the beginning, Dan gave me the confidence I needed. He encouraged me to apply, helped me prepare for CASPer and interviews, and supported me every step of the way. Dan is attentive, positive, and genuinely invested in seeing his students succeed. He understands the medical application and interview system extremely well and tailors each session to help you achieve the best possible outcome. The interviews I did were challenging, but thanks to Dan the uncertainty was drastically reduced, and I felt comfortable being uncomfortable throughout the process. In 2025, I secured four interviews when I honestly thought I wouldn’t even get one and I ended up getting into medical school! I’m now loving every minute of it. Dan is truly the best of the best. I only wish I had found him earlier to help navigate the stress of the medical application process. If you’re considering applying to medicine, I highly recommend working with him, he’s absolutely incredible and exactly the person you need by your side to maximise your success.

Dan is a great MMI tutor. You can tell he is very experienced and gives unique, personalised feedback. He has a heap of high quality practice questions and closer to the interview date did a full MMI mock with me. Dan is very straightforward and won't sugarcoat anything, which gives you a realistic picture of how you can improve. Although I missed out on a GEMSAS offer from Griffith this year, I still improved heaps and ended up getting an offer from Monash.

I owe Dan for getting in to med. I had done MMIs in the previous year, and scored horribly (the uni I interviewed for told you how you went), but Dan turned it around and I got a CSP offer despite my relatively low gamsat score- it was 100% my interview score that pulled the weight of my offer. The way Dan tutors gives you skills that help you answer any of the questions, and rather than sounding tokenistic and robotic, he helps you find a way to answer that is genuine to who you are. I thought $300/hr was pretty steep so was hesitant to book a tute at first, but very quickly found out it was worth every penny, and ended up booking quite a few more. I literally could not recommend him for MMI any higher!

I had several sessions with Dan for Casper and for MMI. And my word, without Dan, and his colleague Jon, I would not be commencing post-graduate medicine in 2026. My biggest mountain to climb was wrangling the jumbled mess of words in my mind, organising them and articulating what I wanted to say in a meaningful way that demonstrated well... me. Dan did NOT give me textbook, empty responses to spew verbatim. He guided me to dive deep into what I think, and explore my perspectives, values, morals etc. It was truly a collaborative effort, and I needed to put in the hard yards. His constructive student-led approach gave me the tools to critically appraise myself and think laterally. But he was always there to help navigate me when I had hit a brick wall and to give specific, tangible and actionable feedback for me to take away and work on. Dan is the energiser bunny, he knows what he is doing and squeezes in a lot per session. He does not waste a second and brings me back when I all too often strayed on tangents haha! Through this process, Dan (and Jon) got me to where I needed to be so I could articulate who I am to those who needed to know.

This year was my first ever MMI opportunity and Dan's tutoring made a massive difference in the way I went about this process and allowed me to get CSP place at unimelb. I procrastinated alot for my interview prep and started off much later than most for the MMI. However Dan helped support me throughout and always made sure to accomodate our sessions wherever possible. As compared to other tutors that I did some sessions with, Dan helped me build up my MMI skills right from the basics. Rather than giving a very generic idea of how to structure my MMI responses, Dan helped me rewire the way I was answering all the questions and ensured that I could present the most prepared but authentic version of myself at the interview. Overall Dans tutoring really helped me in answering questions based on authenticity and empathy rather than structured generic responses. I would highly recommend Dan for anyone struggling with MMI !!!

After receiving my semester 1 results and realising I’d get (scrape) an interview offer, I got nervous, my dream of med school was so close yet the final hurdle seemed like such an uphill battle. I tried a few different tutors before arriving at Dan and straight away I knew he was the guy I should trust with this massively important stage of my application. From the first session he began shaping my habits and thought processes, showing me when I was accidentally being judgy, guiding me to approach questions with the most empathy, integrity and as humanly as possible. I took a second to compare video responses from the start of my prep to the day before the mmi, can honestly say it was watching 2 different people. Dan helped transform my mmi, and ultimately I attribute my success in getting an offer to his guidance and expertise. If your put off by the cost a little bit, I was too but looking back now, I can say without a doubt his the most cost effective tutor in getting you where you want to be! Couldn’t recommend him more.

Dan is a brilliant tutor!! He guides you meticulously through every step, whether it is MMI or Casper you get meaningful, structured, and innovative approaches that truly helps you feel ready and empowered to tackle any scenario. Dan has a remarkably strong grasp of the MMI and Casper process, and his wisdom is something you won’t find elsewhere. On top of that, his classes are incredibly engaging and uplifting. You’ll laugh, you’ll learn, and you’ll leave every session feeling more confident than ever. What makes Dan even more amazing is that he genuinely cares. He is just as invested in your journey as you are, meeting you where you’re at, challenging you to think deeper, and celebrating your wins like they’re his own. I highly, highly, highly recommend Dan but only if you want this to be your last med cycle.

Dan was incredible!!!! Right from the get go, he helped me to realise that I was sounding very robotic, and not natural. In the MMI they want to see a HUMAN BEING and I was so far off from that haha. I really recommend booking in a session with Dan and it will completely change how you view the MMI. Tutoring sessions with Dan had a huge role to play in me getting into Unimelb, and I can’t thank Dan enough. If you’re looking for a tutor, Dan is the one to go to!!!! 💯💯💯

If the number of overwhelmingly positive reviews haven't convinced you yet, let me add my story. The EOD I received at the end of 2024 came as a bit of a shock. Sure my stats weren't god-like, but I thought surely I was well-spoken and passionate enough to be a competitive interviewee - especially coming from a clinical background. That was until Dan showed me the light. Or more so, figuratively slapped some sense into me with some direct (but much-needed) critiques following a mock MMI station. Oh and did I mention he offered this for free? Simply to help him figure out the differences between MMI responses from an EOD applicant and a successful one (we love an evidence-based man). Well lucky for him, I (and many others) were hooked. This year, I worked with Dan on casper, S2 and MMI responses. While ultimately I received and accepted a USYD Dubbo offer, I can confidently say that working with Dan has re-aligned and refined the way in which I not only present myself, but view medicine and the rewards and challenges that it brings. Working with Dan is not just having an expert at your disposal, but also a supportive mate at your side. As I echo from others, Dan dedicates his time to figuring out who you are and what you want to achieve from your sessions. This ability to seamlessly tailor the sessions to weaknesses you didn't even know you have is one of the many factors that sets Dan above the rest. I consistently left each session in awe of how much I had learnt, reflected on and challenged my responses. If you're tired of the typical run-of-the-mill tutors who parrot the same advice found on YouTube, then Dan is the man for you.

Where do I start? In late April 2024, I stumbled across a Reddit post about the CASPER test where Dan had left a comment. I messaged him to ask whether he was a CASPER tutor, and he replied that he was. This was my second time sitting the CASPER (after receiving a Q1 in 2023), and I was incredibly nervous about trying again in 2024. After just five sessions with Dan, I received a Q4. I was ecstatic. I genuinely could not believe it. Working with Dan made me realise that I often came across as judgemental and biased in my responses, but he helped me make significant changes in a short period of time due to his deep understanding of the CASPER format and the skills it assesses. His feedback was always constructive and targeted. It never felt generic or vague. He took the time to understand how I think and communicate, and then tailored our sessions to suit the way I learn. He remembered so many small things about me and my learning preferences, which made our sessions feel personalised and effective. I also worked with Dan for GAMSAT Section 2 preparation in the lead-up to the March 2025 sitting. We did weekly reviews of timed essays, and his feedback was invaluable. Dan has a wealth of knowledge and experience that helped shape my writing and communication skills over time. Under his guidance, I saw real improvement, and I now have a GAMSAT score that I am genuinely proud of. Most recently, I had a few revision sessions with Dan just before my 2025 CASPER sitting and again received a Q4. I am now anticipating an interview offer, and I credit so much of my progress to Dan’s support. Beyond the tangible results, Dan has helped boost my confidence significantly. His calm, analytical, and respectful approach made me feel like my thoughts were valid and worth refining, not dismissed or wrong. I never felt rushed or talked over. His ability to meet me where I was at and gradually challenge me to push further was exactly what I needed. I cannot recommend Dan highly enough. His feedback is clear, actionable, and always specific to you. If you are looking for someone who will understand how you learn and help you build the skills and confidence needed to succeed, Dan is the person you want in your corner.

Honestly I was quite nervous to meet Dan the first time after the reviews about him being quite direct... but honestly he is not mean about it. I actually found him quite funny. He is definitely a friendly guy and I liked our sessions. Anyway the facts .. I got Q1 last year without preparation as I didn't think I'd need CASPer. I interviewed and missed out on a spot at UoM with a 90/180 score, average 110. This year, I took no chances. I braved it and I tried Dan. Got a Q4 with like 10 sessions? Maybe I think I did 2-3 hours of self study each week in the lead up to the examination. Now I'm doing MMI prep with Dan and I think I'm locked in for success. Will update this if I get my offer.

I had Dan for my Capser prep, and he changed how I approached situational judgement questions while giving me vaulable insight heading into MMI. I would highly recommend Dan as he is warm and approachable, while striking a balace in firm and rigorous academic feedback. He is worth every penny .

Can't thank Dan enough. I had a really hard time getting my s1 out of the 50s, and my s2 was 65 64 65 over 3 sittings, I just couldn't get them to budge.. I gave up on doing it on my own and found Dan. I think we did 7 sessions for gamsat stuff and eventually I scored 66/75/60, and so I had a 1.66 combo applying to Griffith as 1st preference. I knew I had to do really well in the interview or I probably had like no chance. so again I went to dan to help and well, maybe 10 sessions for mmi prep and I got a CSP offer at Griffith which i cant believe lol. Started this year and its been great, dan has checked in on me a few times to make sure im settling in which i really appreciate so im happy to write this review dan u were really fun to work with, I appreciate everything. thanks

Made this acc just to leave a review. Met WhitestAsian in the discord when I was practising with some friends, he dropped by to give some free advice which was super insightful and kind of blew me away by how thorough he was. Figured he was some sort of tutor so got in contact, price was a real barrier for me though unfortunately. Couldn't get many sessions with him but cannot believe how much each session helped, just totally changed my view of MMI. It was kind of funny in some ways because I just felt so knocked back after our sessions because I became so critical of myself, because listening to his feedback I sort of learned how to critique and evaluate myself. So when I was practising alone I'd be like 'damn Dan would roast me for saying that, can't say that again' and man it actually worked. I guess his funny colour grading scheme kinda imprinted in my brain and I could begin to recognise how to mark myself. Dan was pretty understanding financially and knew from the beginning we would not be long term, so he had a pretty significant focus on giving me the skills to improve alone without the hand holding, and spent quite a bit of time making sure I understood what my next steps were every time we met. Idk what else to say, tutoring with Dan was like the lifecycle of a bird? First session he force-fed me a tonne of information to get me up to speed, and I felt like I really was with the right tutor, and then the next session he threw me off a cliff and watched me try and fly (crashed btw). A couple sessions later I was flying and well, got into med school so it was definitely worth it. I got a CSP at UoM and sounds like a good portion of my incoming cohort has been through Dan so its kind of funny to think 20 or so of us have this mutual connection that we'll probably never even mention (sorry mate). Oh and last thing I do want to mention Dan was pretty good at replying outside of our sessions to my random med questions about UoM, hospital placements, etc, which tbh is super valuable when you're trying to reduce nerves and anxiety etc, really appreciated that. Anyway highly recommend this bloke, really don't think id have gotten in this year if I didn't meet the infamous whitestasian lol.

I couldn't recommend Dan more highly! Just a few weeks before my first CASPER sitting, I knew almost nothing about the test — what it assessed or how to approach it. Thanks to Dan's incredible tutoring and guidance, I sat my CASPER with confidence and was thrilled to receive a 4th quartile score, a true testament to his effective tutoring style and the belief he instills in his students. I'm now being tutored by him again for MMI preparation and didn't hesitate for a second to seek his help. Dan is exceptional, and I've recommended him to everyone I know who will be sitting CASPER next year!

I reached out to Dan as soon as I got my MMI offer, so about 2.5 weeks before my actual interview date. As someone whose combo score barely scraped an interview, I knew my chances were incredibly slim. Thanks to Dan, I was in absolute disbelief when I got a CSP for my 1st preference uni for my first application. Every lesson was clear, directed, with a focus or theme of our choosing. His questions are thoughtful, and his reflections on your responses are even more nuanced. There are so many details and ideas I simply wouldn't have been able to grasp without his feedback. He also has a well-rounded understanding of the med school application system, and tailors his tutoring towards the university you're applying for. It is so clear that Dan has a natural affinity for teaching - every lesson was incredibly fun and informative, and I genuinely felt like I got my money's worth out of every session. He won't sugarcoat anything for you - he'll tell you exactly where you did well and what needs work. I was honestly sad when tutoring was over. Dan is an exceptional tutor, a lovely individual, and cares so deeply for his students. He will see you through from the beginning of your preparation all the way to anxiously awaiting offers. Couldn't recommend him enough - you won't regret choosing him for your MMI preparation.

Thanks to Dan, I feel that I smashed my CASPR and my medical school interview, copping a CSP offer in the process. Dan is the most comprehensive tutor you'll find for medical interviews and CASPR. You have here a guy who is very comprehensive in his understanding of what is sought after in prospective applicants. For me, he helped frame my structure and content for these occasions such that I really was able to relax and let my personality shine. Dan is a highly emotionally intelligent guy and definitely helped instill that ethos in me during our prep. Towards the end of my interview prep, Dan kindly offered to run a full interview mock with me, which I felt really sharpened my senses and gave me an idea of how the interview process can be a bit of a marathon. This is just one example of how Dan pulls out the stops to ensure that you are as best prepared as possible for the big day. I've been with a few other tutors, and none are as comprehensive and knowledgeable or caring about your progress as Dan is. If you're serious about your prep., you couldn't find a better tutor.

Made an account just to write this. Dan is incredible. I had the pleasure to work with him to prepare for my Undergraduate MMI's, which at the time I was very unsure how to study for and do my best in, and I felt really uncomfortable knowing how important they were for my entry into medical school, and being unsure where to start with prep, and unsure if my current answers were good enough. Dan has so much experience, not only with MMI preparation, the many question types, and how to answer them literally perfectly, but he has 3 degrees, and also alot of life experiences, which makes him an extremely smart guy and someone who you can 100% trust in terms of their knowledge of MMI and its complex ethical scenarios. As a result of this experience (especially in Psychology and he is a medical student) Dan has the ability to give a plethora of different ideas in these ethical scenarios, and all other MMI questions, that it is almost unbelievable. And, by working with Dan, you learn so much about these questions and how to answer them in a way that is high yield and will make you stand out on the big day. Dan tutors in a fantastic way. He doesn't waste your valuable time and money worrying about useless things to improve on that you can improve without a tutor, but rather, focuses on greatly improving specific knowledge across all MMI question types, and spends time doing live answers which put you out of your comfort zone (very valuable practice for something as stressful as an interview) Through practice and review with him, Dan will tell you what is wrong, will not sugarcoat it, and will tell you how to improve your answer, and over time, this will gradually sculpt your answers to reach a high level. What is fantastic is that Dan lets you choose how you want to do things, and what you want to work on. Dan is very smart and knowledgeable about MMI, but the best thing is that he is genuinely a great person with a good heart, and every session had lots of laughs, regardless of how difficult the questions were, or how stressed I was. The sessions were so fun and the time went by so incredibly quickly. I feel so thankful and so lucky that I met Dan, who managed to make my interview perfect. I got a CSP in Curtin University with stats that weren't that competitive, which tells me that my interview was gold. I really highly recommend Dan as your tutor for MMI's. MMI tutoring doesn't get better than Dan's tutoring.

At the start of the year, I tried a few different tutors, but I kept getting vague advice like "your answer is good, but the structure could improve," which honestly didn't help much. I was getting tired of paying for such basic feedback, so I decided to try Dan. I worked with Dan for CASPer prep, and later for MMI prep after scoring in the 4th quartile. To my surprise, I ended up getting a UQ CSP spot with a low 1.67x combo, so I didn't actually need the CASPer in the end. Dan is a very knowledgeable guy who completely changed the way I approached MMIs. I feel extremely lucky to have randomly found him on discord one day. Last year, despite practicing with friends for at least 40 hours, I was still rejected after my MMI. This year, I wanted to make sure I got the right advice, and Dan delivered. I'll definitely vouch for Dan. Thanks for everything, man. I'll reach out again when I'm applying for specialty interviews!

I contacted Daniel a few weeks before UoW offers came out because I had a felt I had a good shot at an interview. Knowing UoW is a 2 hour open form MMI, I knew I'd need to know MMI inside and out to survive the interrogation. Daniel ran me through a bunch of basic questions, explained where I was lacking, helped me improve my understanding of the MMI, and had me ready for all sorts of questions. He then me through multiple full-length mock interviews, and provided very comprehensive feedback. He was also there to answer my questions between sessions when I had any, I really feel so blessed to have met him. I went into the UoW interview very prepared but still quite nervous obviously, and ultimately, felt I performed very well as we had tackled most questions prior. I'm literally shaking typing this, and I've had to read the email like 30 times to confirm its real, but I am sooo proud and excited to say, I have been offered a CSP spot at UoW in 2025. Given my combo.. I genuinely thought I'd never have a shot because of GAMSAT getting in the way. I cannot recommend him enough and I'll be sending anyone who asks me, ever, to Daniel.

Hi. I applied as an international student to UQ, UoM, and MQ. I did not have much notice for preparations, so I only worked with Daniel for 2.5 weeks. We did 13 sessions. I received offers from all three and found Daniel good to work with. He was very friendly and made the preparation more enjoyable. I accepted UoM, so I will see you next year Daniel. Highly recommend.

I prepared a lot of time for the 2023 interviews, hours every day, and did tried a few tutors and felt confident. I was really upset when I did not receive any offer even though I interviewed at 3 universities. So this year I tried Dan and he is very different to my other tutors. This year I interview 2 times and received two offers for 2025!!!! So anyway I am happy to write this for Dan. thank you my friend. I wish I found you in 2023.

I’m a first time med applicant with a combo on the lower side, so I knew I needed a strong interview to get a place. I started looking for MMI tutors a bit too late - the day before interview offers came out. I went with Dan because they were recommended to me by a friend. After seven sessions in the two week lead up to my interview, I had improved leaps and bounds from someone who barely knew how to formulate an MMI response to getting an offer from the university I interviewed at. Dan is a very thorough tutor: transcribing your responses and dissecting them sentence by sentence, and not sugarcoating when you’ve done something wrong or could do better. This is a tutoring style I appreciated because I could not waste the two weeks I had with wishy washy feedback. Dan offered exemplar responses and strategies for when I got stuck during a response. Their massive breadth of knowledge meant that I was comfortable in my MMI, having seen different flavours of the questions before with Dan. They still made sessions really fun and was so easy to talk to! You can tell how passionate they are about tutoring. Highly recommend Dan if you’re looking for a tutor who gets right to the point!!

Dan was really helpful for my pre-med prep. He helped me improve from a Q1 to Q4 in a few weeks of Casper prep, and score a CSP offer in my top preference. I also felt more confident and prepared thanks to our sessions as he provided heaps of tailored feedback and advice. Highly recommend!

I reached out to Dan when I first started preparing for Casper and had sessions with him right up until my interview. At our first session I explained some of the ways I was approaching prep and he listened…..then he thankfully kindly and patiently guided me in a completely different direction haha (the right one). There is so much information online, which is great, but it is also challenging to know which advice to follow and what is actually the best approach. Daniel helps you navigate all of this by guiding you to focus on what is important and drawing on his own experiences and other MD students he has tutored. He helps you develop a general approach to questions, understand where your areas of improvement lie and provides constantly practical and tangible feedback on how to keep developing. I learnt so much in each session with him and they were often full of some good laughs too. He is a genuinely kind and caring person (who will no doubt make an excellent doctor) and its awesome to spend sessions learning from him on the topics you are studying but also his approach to medicine generally. I am still in total shock and cannot believe it but I was lucky to gain a place offer this year. Daniel played an instrumental role in making this happen and I couldn’t recommend him enough.

If you're after top quality MMI prep, then Dan is the tutor you need to be working with. I couldn't recommend Dan more highly. His understanding of what the markers are looking for in the MMI and how he can help people get the best out of themselves come the actual interview was essential to helping me secure my place in a medicine degree on my first go applying.

I did 7 sessions with Dan in the two-weeks leading up to my med MMI. His guidance was invaluable - direct and well aligned with the MMI assessment criteria. Dan helped me get used to being uncomfortable and I highly recommend him for MMI preparation!

Dan changed the way I approached MMIs. Even in questions where I genuinely didn't think there was much else I could have mentioned, he still manages to bring up different perspectives and angles to which I could have tackled the question including ways I could have demonstrated more empathy or problem solving. He isn't afraid to criticise you (which is ok because he knows his stuff) and in my opinion it would be high yield to get at least a few sessions with him. My only regret is that I didn't get CASPER sessions with him (sobs in 3rd quartile).

Dan helped me analyse scenarios in depth. He would give me a chance to answer the questions first and then provoke my thinking by providing relevant information and knowledge, followed by giving me his model answer. After all these he would encourage me to try to answer again utilising what I have just learned from him. He would also provide written feedback which I can go over in my own time afterwards. Before the interview we did a full mock, which prepared me to cope with the mental and physical stress of the real interview. Using Dan’s service not only helped me get my dream offer but also made me more empathetic and articulate, which I found super helpful at work and in life as well. Dan is truly a caring and empathetic tutor, and I am very grateful!

I had a great experience with Dan as my Casper tutor. The sessions were well-structured, and he provided clear guidance on how to approach the questions. His feedback was helpful and really boosted my confidence. Overall, a very supportive and valuable experience.

Even though I worked with Dan only for a short period of time towards the end of my MMI preparation, I found him to be an incredibly valuable resource. His insights and advice significantly improved my approach to the interview process and helped shape my perspectives on key topics. This helped me to get an offer this year for 2025 entry.
