Experience
Besides being a self-confessed sports fanatic, I have helped hundreds of students get into medicine, edited assignments and PhD Theses as well as lectured and tutored at La Trobe University, Australia, where I received the top teaching ranking in student feedback and satisfaction surveys. With over 12 years combined experience in tutoring VCE/IB, GAMSAT, MCAT, LSAT and University students on a variety of subjects, I have always inspired students to attain a level of confidence in developing personal, analytical and comprehension skills in dealing with the subject matter. I have taught and catered well for people with disability, learning difficulties and exam anxiety, and have always taken special care with my students - with whom I feel extremely proud when they excel! I specialise in the humanities, social sciences and English for the following: --------------------------------------------------------------- 1. GAMSAT: Medical School entry Over the 10 years, I have tutored Section I & II as well as Medical Interview coaching with many students receiving offers for Medicine at a combination of Australian Universities including The University of Melbourne, Deakin University, Monash University, University of Notre Dame, Bond University, UQ, and the University of Wollongong as well as UCLA, UC Berkeley, London School of Economics, and other universities in Germany, China and Cyprus. While many of my students have received 70+ scores in the given sections for GAMSAT, my aim is to nurture and guide them above and beyond what is expected to reach 80+. --------------------------------------------------------------- 2. University - I help students through Bachelors level assignments and essays in all disciplines of Humanities and Social Sciences including Philosophy, Politics, International Relations, Economics, Sociology, Anthropology, and among others History, as well as help editing, proof reading and writing concisely to word limits, Masters thesis and PhD dissertations. I have successfully helped students achieve excellent marks on assessments ranging from a variety of backgrounds including assignments for Grad-Dip in Education, Bachelors of Nursing and PhD in Finance. ------------------------------------------------------------------ 3. High school - I specialise in tutoring English, IB TOK, Literature, History, Politics, Philosophy, Economics, Media Studies, English language and both Methods and Further Mathematics. Numerous students of mine received study scores of 40+ in VCE and did exceptionally well in the International Baccalaureate. ------------------------------------------------------------------ My Teaching & Professional Achievements: - Lectured and Tutored at La Trobe University, Australia, (Macroeconomics/Political Economy), where I received the highest rank in the student feedback survey. - I have helped hundreds of Australian and British students gain entry into medicine degrees, guiding them with their essay and English comprehension for the GAMSAT. - I have successfully taught to Australian and British students: English (written and spoken), Essay writing, Philosophy, Political science and Political Economy. - I was also awarded the Dean’s Commendation for academic excellence at La Trobe University (top 5 students in the faculty) and was inducted into the Golden Key Society. - I have worked as a specialist education consultant on behalf of an Australian company, in helping develop curriculum and train educators and teachers for the Saudi Arabian Government, Vision 2030 project. I cater precisely on the strengths and weaknesses of each student, nurturing and guiding them to reach their potential. Having gone through the experience myself, there is nothing worse than being anxious before an exam or a deadline. For this reason, I always encourage a relaxed, enjoyable method of learning, one which allows the most effective and efficient retention and recall. Student Reviews: I have worked with Nosh for my TOK essay for IB. His understanding of topics, vast knowledge both in depth and breath is amazing. He is very passionate about what he teaches and brings information and knowledge from history as well as from a wide variety of sources - whether philosophy, ethics, comparative religion, sociology or modern technology and pop culture. He helped me with ideas, structure, writing, reviewing and it was definitely worth it. Posted 6 months ago by Muhammad S. Currently 5.0/5 Stars. ------------------------------------------------------- Nosh was a really great tutor. He has huge expertise in GAMSAT S1 and S2. For S1, he helped me in understanding the different types of passages and questions that usually come in GAMSAT. This consequently helped in increasing my confidence in tackling this section and scoring higher marks in my practise runs. Hopefully, I see a much higher mark for this section when the results come out in May. For S2, he didn’t only improve my style of writing but also helped me a lot in increasing the depth of my ideas and the examples provided. I would recommend him to anyone struggling in both of those sections. Posted 9 days ago by Jaber F.

Posted about 2 years ago by Tania G. Currently 4.0/5 Stars. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Nosh is a superb tutor with a vast knowledge of Philosophy, Politics, Economics and other subjects and a real passion for teaching and seeing his students succeed. I highly recommend him. Posted over 2 years ago by katie f. Currently 5.0/5 Stars. ------------------------------------------------------------------ I was able to work with Nosh over a period of approximately 6 weeks prior to sitting my graduate entry medical admission exam. Nosh was able to quickly ascertain my weakness' to create a thorough and well timed plan or study leading into the examination. Nosh was willing to go above and beyond the standards set by most tutors. I cannot recommend Nosh highly enough, and will be utilising his service further in the future.

Hobbies
I love learning languages and am currently learning by fourth - Arabic, as well as reading, teaching and helping creative individuals develop businesses. I also love to travel and learn about new cultures and history. I have been to 5 continents and am very keen to travel to Latin America one day! I am also passionate about social justice issues and have been involved with social work and community NGOs for the past 10 years. Just before leaving Australia, I was volunteering with two community organisations, and whenever I have time I help out with a local Food Bank for the homeless. Along with my family, I love soccer and cricket - there is always a passionate debate around the dinner table! I also love Test Cricket - and if you are patient enough to watch Test Cricket - you are patient enough with any student! :)
