Tom S - Academic SACE Tutor in Mile End

Tom is currently studying post-graduate Medicine at Flinders University. Prior to Medicine, he undertook a Bachelor of Science, with a dual major in Genetics, as well as Geology. He undertook these courses concurrently between the University of Adelaide, and Flinders University. In addition to his undergraduate studies, Tom completed an honours project (awarded Honours First-Class (high distinction)) in Precision Medicine and Pharmacogenomics. Throughout his undergraduate studies, Tom has maintained scores at Distinction, or High Distinction level in the hard and natural sciences. He also maintains a Distinction average in Medicine. Despite Tom's clear interest in the sciences, Tom is strongest in English, for which he was a consistent top 5% student in the graduate medical school admissions test. He also has a proven, distinction-average interest in maths and history, which is an area he has unfortunately not been able to explore as much as he would like during his studies. Outside of academia, Tom enjoys a variety of interests. A former player of football, tennis, and cricket, Tom enjoys staying physically fit, active, and healthy, as he works out approximately 6 times per week. He also maintains a deep interest in reading, particularly in business, economics, philosophy, psychology, and marketing. Ultimately, Tom has an extremely varied educational background, with a wide range of personal, professional, and academic interests. This shines in his teaching, as he has become comfortable with learning (and breaking down!) very different, disparate, or difficult disciplines, and thus has developed the skill set of 'learning to learn', which is ultimately how he continues to excel in his studies."
