About Brendan
I prefer to learn via understanding rather than memorisation, and feel that truly immersing yourself within a subject is not only the most enjoyable way to learn, but provides the best results. This is a mindset I try to bring to my students, and there is nothing more satisfying than seeing a difficult to understand concept finally click in one of my students’ minds. Everyone learns differently and I tailor my teaching style to every individual student to help them achieve their goals.

99.65 ATAR (Student - 3350) and 99th Percentile UCAT Tutoring , HSC (Phys, Chem, Math)
GREAT STUDENT UCAT SCORE of 3350 in 2023!
Hi - I’m Brendan! I am currently studying medicine at WSU after achieving a 99th percentile score in UCAT and an ATAR of 99.65 in 2019. I have been teaching UCAT since its inception and hence you will not find someone with more experience with it than me - in the last four years I have taught over 200 students, with the majority of them scoring above the 90th percentile with scores between 2960-3350 and gaining entry into their dream medical and dental schools all over Australia.
As part of the first cohort that experienced the UCAT (replacing UMAT) , and new HSC syllabus in subjects such as Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics - there is no one more qualified than me to help guide you through these challenging assessments and help you reach your goals.
Currently, I teach UCAT, preliminary and HSC Chemistry, Physics, and Mathematics. I have extensive experience teaching these subjects both at a tutoring college and privately over the past three and a half years - with a couple of my students holding top ranks in Chemistry and Mathematics within their schools. I also have a Working with Children’s Check that can be presented upon request.
Regarding my marks in high school:
Internally in Baulkham Hills High School -
2nd in Extension 1 Mathematics
3rd in Chemistry
For the HSC -
96 in Extension 2 Mathematics
99 in Extension 1 Mathematics
97 in Chemistry
92 in Physics
UCAT -
99th percentile (raw score of 3160).
I prefer to learn via understanding rather than memorisation, and feel that truly immersing yourself within a subject is not only the most enjoyable way to learn, but provides the best results. This is a mindset I try to bring to my students, and there is nothing more satisfying than seeing a difficult to understand concept finally click in one of my students’ minds. Everyone learns differently and I tailor my teaching style to every individual student to help them achieve their goals.
My lessons normally run for two hours weekly, and I will provide workbooks with all the knowledge you will need for HSC subjects that follow each syllabus dot point closely. I also provide compilations of past HSC questions with worked solutions, and digital flashcards to aid in learning difficult bits of content. For UCAT, the beginning lessons are introductory sessions where we go through what techniques to use, what tricks question writers employ, and how to approach the UCAT and each section overall. After that, I run a series of mini mock tests to hone the skills I have taught.
I am also always free to answer any questions or queries about schoolwork my students have via text or call, free of charge.
Currently, I only offer online tutoring via Zoom. Please contact me on (concealed information) if you have any questions!
I look forward to providing you with the guidance you need to succeed in these final years of school.

Brendan has helped me out a lot in the UCAT. I was really struggling with the VR subtest but after his help I actually finished with spare time and got 30 questions correct in a mock test which was the highest I had ever gotten! It took a while to get used to his method but I think it was extremely effective and I just wanted to say thank you.
Brendan is a great tutor! our lessons so far have been pretty useful. I have been able to learn some tips and tricks which I have used when doing some mocks + improvements. I saw a big improvement between my first and second mock after learning some tips. One main one is being how UCAT is nothing like the HSC and the main goal is to finish instead of perfecting your answer.
They have helped me understand the format of the UCAT and how to perform under time pressure. before I would be scared of the exam in general as it seemed that there were too many questions to answer in the time limit but now it has gotten easier to understand the questions as well as answer them quickly. By doing mock exams, I am able to do all the exams and experience what it would feel like doing the real thing and therefore prepare me for when I take it.
My lessons so far have been really good and helpful. The lessons have helped me gain a better understanding of how that works and the methods involved in trying to figure out the correct answer, the lessons have also expanded my knowledge of what the ucat can consist of and taught me ways to successfully choose the correct answer along with managing my time. This has made me more confident about taking the ucat and less intimidated by it.
