About John
I am a supportive and encouraging tutor who genuinely enjoys helping students unlock their potential in GAMSAT Section 2. I know first-hand how overwhelming S2 can feel, and I often think about how much easier my own preparation would have been if I’d had a tutor who could explain structure, idea generation, and strategy in a clear and practical way. That’s why I tutor now — to offer the kind of guidance I wish I had, and to put the skills I’ve developed to meaningful use. Having sat the exam multiple times (in 2024 & 2025), I have a detailed, up-to-date understanding of what markers look for, and the practical strategies that actually shift a student into the higher bands. Students tend to appreciate my patience, my organization, and the tangible nature of the tips and tools I teach. I am honest and straightforward — if something in your writing needs improvement, I will tell you clearly and constructively, and then show you exactly how to fix it. My lessons focus on personalized feedback, pragmatic frameworks, and actionable techniques that students can immediately apply. What sets me apart as a tutor is the combination of recent exam experience, proven improvement, and a teaching style built around clarity and structure. I’ve spent a long time experimenting with different approaches to S2, and I now teach the exact strategies that improved my score by 16 points. This gives me confidence in helping students aim for 80+, because I know first-hand what it takes. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy playing tennis, going to the gym, and spending time with friends.

I sat the GAMSAT in March 2025, earning an 82 in Section 2 (boosting my score by 16 points from 66-->82) and a 76 overall, and I have since been accepted into medicine at both USYD and UQ. As I begin medicine next year and graduate in 2029, I bring an up-to-date understanding of the current exam style and the common traps students fall into.
My approach to GAMSAT Section 2 tutoring is practical, structured, and highly focused on what actually improves scores. I teach students how to write with clarity and purpose by emphasising idea generation, macro-structure, and specific strategies that can be implemented immediately. Each lesson includes step-by-step guidance on building an argument, crafting strong paragraphs, and using simple “micro-tools” to elevate style and depth. I also give real-time feedback during the session so you learn how to recognise and correct weaknesses as you write.
Lessons run for 60 minutes and are delivered online, making them easy to schedule around study or work. My lessons are suitable for each student, whether you’re sitting the GAMSAT for the first time or fifth time. I work with complete beginners, confident writers who need refinement, and repeat sitters aiming for major improvement.
Also included are some of my own example essays that I wrote along with detailed high-yield notes I created during my own preparation for GAMSAT. These resources give students a clear model of what a high-scoring response looks like and the exact techniques needed to produce one.
My aim is simple: to help you approach Section 2 with clarity, confidence, and a set of practical tools that genuinely move your score upwards.

I wholeheartedly recommend John Ferguson for this position. He would bring expertise, dedication, and genuine care to his tutoring role.John was a great GAMSAT tutor and helped take the guess work out of the stressful med application process and was especially helpful for S2. Would recommend to anyone interested in med from either beginning of their journey or those wanting to get more serious about their preparation.
I found John on superprof. He helped me increase my S2 score from 63 to 80 which earned me a spot at Usyd this year. Genuinely the best tutors I have had - super useful and practical feedback on my essays and also very helpful when it came to S1 and S3 as well. Will not disappoint you.
