About Max
I have 5 years of tutoring experience, helping almost 20 students gain entry into Medicine and Dentistry, and supporting many other students to pass key papers required for selection into their preferred healthcare professional courses. I have also helped high school students achieve NZQA Scholarships (top 2% in NZ) and Level 3 Excellence endorsements. My teaching is aimed towards students of any level, as long as they have the drive and ambition to achieve high academic goals.
I completed Health Science First Year (HSFY) in 2022 with a 96.8% average, with my best papers being in Physics, Chemistry and Statistics. I achieved this entirely self-taught, without tutoring. Through years of trial and error, I developed a tutoring style focused on conceptual understanding, efficient study strategies, and exam-level thinking, the support I wish I had as a first-year university student. My academic achievements include University Leaders of Tomorrow scholarship, NZQA Scholarships in Biology, Calculus, and Physics, and a Silver Award in the NZ Chemistry Olympiad.
I am now based in Australia, working full-time in a dental practice. Teaching remains my passion, which is why I continue to tutor alongside full-time work. I enjoy helping students reach their full potential and contributing to the development of future healthcare professionals. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy sport, especially badminton, which I now play socially after previously competing at a national level.

I specialise in the Health Science First Year papers CHEM191 and PHSI191, helping students aiming for Medicine and Dentistry achieve top results. Learning isn’t just memorising, these subjects require abstract conceptual understanding, pattern recognition, and critical thinking, which I help students develop to build a strong foundation for exams which are skills that will be applied in all other University papers.
Lessons combine lecture material, past papers, textbooks, and other resources, tailored to the student’s needs. I guide students to new ways of approaching questions using thought-provoking prompts, so they learn to critically evaluate problems independently. I also teach time-saving techniques, multi-choice exam strategies, and efficiently progress students from raw content to exam questions, helping students study smarter… and harder :)
I share personal study strategies I’ve refined at Otago University and provide guidance on structuring study time, managing workloads, and preparing strategically for HSFY exams. My goal is to help students think like high-achieving HSFY students, apply concepts confidently, and maximise their chances of entering Medicine or Dentistry.
