Caitlyn L – Medicine Year 2, The University of Adelaide
Khoi and his tutoring team have been so amazing, helpful and supportive throughout my pre-med journey. Achieving well in the UCAT initially seemed like an impossible task, but through UMed Tuition, became actually attainable and much more manageable. I found working on a question to question basis to be particularly useful as I learnt different techniques, allowing me to answer questions faster and more accurately; a crucial skill required for the UCAT. Not only did the team help with UCAT training but they also provided advice and their collective experience on subject choices, interview techniques and approach to university applications, optimising my results and simplifying this complicated process. I couldn’t imagine going through this without the guidance of the team and would highly recommend them to any aspiring medicine or dentistry students!
Sean O - Medicine Year 2, The University of Adelaide
Thank you to UMed tuition for their support and resources throughout both the UCAT exam and interview! They have been amazing from providing comprehensive question banks to excellent interview prep. Personally, I liked all the tutors at UMed as they are knowledgeable, approachable and good at explaining difficult concepts. Furthermore, they had all sat the exam themselves, so it was beneficial to learn and be inspired by them each week. I highly encourage anyone looking to pursue a career in medicine or dentistry to go to UMed.
Lisa N - Medicine Year 2, The University of Adelaide
Khoi and the UMED team helped me tremendously with my medical school entrance. Their support goes beyond academics as I progressively saw improvements in my confidence and mentality towards studying for the UCAT. They have an extensive database of resources which are taught with experienced tutors from both medical and dental backgrounds, and unparalleled methods of teaching.
Chanidu F – Medicine year 2, The University of Adelaide
I started with UMED at year 10 and continued with them till my UCAT in year 12. In the time I spent with them the whole team was super helpful and insightful not just for the UCAT but also for other aspects of your career and future. Their question banks and drills that we ran through every week were well tailored and the feedback I received was extremely detailed. I sincerely don’t think I would be where I am without my time UMED and the people there.
Imogen I – Medicine Year 2, The University of Adelaide
Thankyou UMed tuition for helping me to achieve entry into Medicine. All tutors were very professional and organised yet easy to approach and genuinely wanted all students to succeed. UMed staff were consistently knowledgeable in every section of the UCAT and I personally achieved a 20 point percentile increase of my UCAT score by completing the UMed program. I can’t thank Khoi and his team enough!”
Roshni M – Medicine Year 2, The University of Adelaide
The interview sessions prepared me adequately for the content I needed in my answers. The practise one on one sessions were amazing in allowing me to practise in a real interview like environment and really built my confidence. The tutors give their everything to lessons and provide both academic and mental support (which really was necessary for me to get me thru year 12!!) - the practise material is really helpful in building solid techniques that can be applied to many ucat questions
Talia K – Medicine Year 2, The University of Adelaide
UMed tuition has enabled me to achieve my goals of medicine through the incredible tutors, their high level of knowledge, and their ongoing support both in and out of class time. The program gives you the information, resources, and techniques to not only ‘pass’ but excel in the UCAT. Khoi and the tutors put in the time and effort to help each student no matter what stage they are in their learning journey and this helped me improve in areas I struggled with. I highly recommend UMed to any aspiring medicine or dentistry students for both UCAT and interview preparation as they were integral to my success and I am extremely grateful.
Maddie M – Medicine Year 2, The University of Adelaide
UMED tuition provided a comprehensive course covering everything and anything one needs to know to achieve the UCAT score of their dreams. Khoi and his team of wonderful tutors were able to inspire and encourage us to remain motivated with our ucat preparation, despite other hurdles - whether it be year 12 studies, university coursework, or covid. However, for me, it was the way in which the program extended beyond the UCAT tutoring and into support with interview preparation, advice for university entrance, and even guidance for year twelve subject selection, which I greatly appreciated throughout my time with UMED. The well-structured classes were engaging and interesting, providing students with a multitude of quality and reliable resources and question banks to support students in preparing for their UCAT. I personally also found it helpful that all of the tutors had sat the UCAT and gone through the medical entrance process themselves - it was great to be surrounded with role models every Saturday morning!
Methma D – Medicine Year 2, The University of Adelaide
Khoi and his team at UMed Tuition are very supportive and go above and beyond to ensure that every single student is catered for. They provide an amazing range of questions to challenge students that I found were very similar to the questions in the real UCAT exam. They explain methods to approach and tackle these questions very thoroughly, which really helped boost my confidence and improve my performance overall. The friendly environment created in the group sessions allows students to discuss their approach to each question with the tutor and with each other, which helps to strengthen their skillset and techniques. UMed Tuition was a crucial part of keeping me on track with my UCAT preparation and I can't thank them enough!
Dana O – Medicine Year 2, The University of Adelaide
I highly recommend UMed Tuition! The UCAT and Interview services offered are incredibly useful and all of the tutors are very friendly and approachable. Khoi gave invaluable advice throughout the year and has great insight into the Medicine and Dentistry admissions process. By far the best UCAT and Interview training course available!
Christina A – Medicine Year 2, The University of Adelaide
I had a wonderful experience at UMed tuition! All of the tutors were extremely kind and supportive and were willing to go above and beyond. They understand the pressures involved in applying for medicine and offered excellent advice and support. Each and every tutor is truly an expert in their respective UCAT section. I have to highlight Khoi’s approach to Abstract Reasoning, which is undoubtably the most thorough and methodical guide out there. Overall, I wholeheartedly recommend UMed for UCAT and interview training!
Izzy W – Medicine Year 2, The University of Adelaide
I found UMED tuition incredibly helpful with my application to medicine. The tutors provide simple strategies to identify similar question types, which improved my efficiency greatly. During sessions, all tutors were kind and eager to offer additional support where needed. It was beneficial learning from people who have been through the process themselves, as they were able to draw on personal experiences. I would not have made it into medicine without them - highly recommend!!
Dinan P – Medicine Year 2, The University of Adelaide
Overall, Umed tuition has been extremely helpful for the entire process of getting into medicine. From the very friendly, knowledgeable and experienced tutors to the unique UCAT questions provided, it is all about giving students the best chance into medicine. During UCAT preparation, they provide students the ability to improve their skills, often producing harder style questions so that the actual exam feels easier. The tutors are extremely thorough in going through questions/exams with the students, making sure they understand how to approach questions and what they got wrong. Their interview preparation is also amazing, providing general tips and personalised feedback so that students feel best prepared and relaxed when going into the interview. I would highly recommend Umed tuition to others, as it has provided great success to a large number of students wanting to achieve their dream of becoming a doctor.
Cooper M – Medicine Year 2, The University of Adelaide
Umed was critical to my success in getting accepted into medicine. Not only did it teach me to proficiently pass the ucat but also kept me motivated each week to keep on pushing and achieve my goals. The tutors were always kind and friendly. Going through each question type for different sections of the ucat improved my timing, accuracy and confidence
Hamayel A – Medicine Year 2, The University of Adelaide
Hey khoi this is a bit late sorry aha but just wanted to say i got a first round offer for adl med (unbonded) - thanks so much for your help throughout the year!!
Gianni G – Medicine Year 2, The University of Adelaide
My immense gratitude goes out to Khoi and his team of highly understanding, senior medical and dental students for their ongoing support beyond the boundaries of a superior UCAT and interview preparation program. Amongst the many “entry to medicine” preparation courses, my time with UMED Tuition has been the most holistic and enjoyable because every ‘staff’ member (I say this in quotations because they feel more like friends than lecturers) cumulatively have extremely similar life experiences regarding their entry to medicine. As a result, I received not only an excellent academic preparation but also increased determination to do well.
Saeed B – Medicine Year 2, The University of Adelaide
Umed tuition has been really supportive in helping me and many others achieve our best. The dedication and time invested by all of the tutors is matched by none and they are always willing to help out in any way they can. Anyone looking to pursue medicine or dentistry in the future will definitely not be disappointed.
Sunwoo – Medicine Year 2, The University of Adelaide
After having tried studying for the UCAT independently in the previous year, I would definitely say that having the help and support of the tutors at UMed was a pivotal factor in drastically improving my UCAT score this year. The dedicated work of the tutors providing structured and efficient lessons each week helped me to build and consolidate skills crucial for the UCAT. I also found that having little knowledge of what the interviews consisted of in the beginning, UMed tuition really made sure to provide all of the little details and tips in preparing for the interview. They have helped immensely in refining my interview skills and developing my confidence for the interviews, and I’m sure it’ll be the same for so many others.
Gauri W – Medicine Year 2, The University of Adelaide
I liked how the ucat teaching was very structured and the content thorough. The set rules that Khoi gives for AR were particularly valuable. For interview prep, it was great to see how quickly all the tutors had adapted to the new 15min structure and how the feedback was so individualised. All the tutors are also super friendly and approachable!
Vikram B – Medicine Year 2, The University of Adelaide
My 3 years spent at UMED were instrumental in helping me ace my UCAT exam and achieve my dream of entering med school. The help I received from the tutors here was tremendous and I couldn't recommend them enough.
Sanjhi Shah – Medicine Year 2, The University of Adelaide
I attempted UCAT in years 12 and 13 of my schooling. Unfortunately due to circumstances, I came close but not enough to successfully receive an offer into medicine despite an interview. After amazing reviews from friends who received offers after coming to UMED, I decided to contact Khoi for UCAT help through my gap year. With their professional help every week, the quality content for every section and the essential strategies to quickly and accurately answer questions, I was successfully able to receive an interview. UMED also assisted with interviews and continued to through mocks until I was 100%. What I enjoyed most about the tutoring is their determination and commitment for every single student and making sure they all do well. I am thankful to the entire team for their efforts of getting me into medicine at The University of Adelaide.
Kate S – Medicine Year 2, The University of Adelaide
The UMed team go above and beyond to provide their students with ongoing help and guidance during the medical admissions process. Sessions are well-structured and teach students skills and techniques that are highly effective in increasing the speed and accuracy of their performance. The tutors are great at explaining difficult concepts, facilitating a comfortable and engaging learning environment, and offering advice regarding all aspects of the admissions process. You can tell they genuinely care about their students and want them to succeed. I’m incredibly grateful to the UMed team for all the support they’ve given me over the last few years, and I can’t recommend them highly enough.
Ethan L – Medicine Year 2, The University of Adelaide
For any aspiring medicine or dentistry students, I wouldn’t recommend anyone other than Khoi and the UMed team for UCAT preparation! Their structured, interactive approach towards UCAT prep involved continuous reinforcement and application of skills learnt, an approach I can undoubtedly say, was the basis of my success. The extensive resources and practice questions provided were exceptional for familiarising students with the UCAT format, allowing each of us to continually refine our strategies. I found that the each of the tutors had unique tips and tricks and were equipped with a wealth of knowledge about the UCAT, pathways into medicine/dentistry and admission interviews, being more than happy to provide support even after tutoring hours. Looking back on my journey into medicine, I am forever grateful for the UMed team as well as their unparalleled support and encouragement.

What touched me most was the genuine care and continued support from the tutors.
Ananya J – Medicine Year 3, James Cook University
I’m now a third year student at James cook university and I can safely say that umed was very helpful in not only helping me prepare for UCAT, but also giving me the upper hand by preparing me for my medical interviews.

I couldn’t recommend a better team to help reach my goal!

I found that my section scores increased quickly, and I would definitely recommend the course to any aspiring medic.
Liwei C – Medicine Year 2, University of Queensland
What I liked about our tutoring was the way you guys structured your sessions. I liked how there are a split of each sections across each session and how we started doing exams so early in the year to get us prepped for the real thing. I also liked how with the interview training you guys had a lot of inside knowledge and knew how to answer all the questions.
Karnik W – Medicine Year 2, University of Queensland
Attending Umed’s weekly UCAT tutoring every Sunday morning was the best decision I made in year 12. The extremely welcoming and positive atmosphere accompanied with brilliant teaching and insightful resources was absolutely crucial for my UCAT success. I can say with undivided confidence, that without the mentoring of the Umed team, I would not currently be a proud UQ medical student.
Sophie N – Medicine Year 2, University of Queensland
Medical and dental school admission is a daunting process, but the invaluable expertise from the tutors at UMed definitely helped give me confidence for the journey. The tutors are highly knowledgeable, friendly and approachable, creating an amazing environment for growth and learning. It is always clear that each lesson was well thought out and organised with a clear intention to improve skills, from the UCAT teaching series to the one-on-one interview preparation. I always felt supported and guided every step of the way, and i could not thank the team at UMed enough for helping me.

The UMed team offer an exceptional tuition program.

More than this, Khoi instills his students with the confidence to challenge themselves, improve and attain their goals, which is reflective of his genuine care for each individual to achieve their utmost best. UMed Tuition has equipped me with a skillset that can be utilized beyond the scope of the UCAT and throughout the course of my academic studies - highly recommend!
Anthony T - Dentistry Year 2, The University of Adelaide
The different techniques, tips and tricks I learned from each experienced tutor allowed me to practice different skills and build a strategy to tackle the ucat. More importantly they stressed about mentality and critical thinking rather than just doing questions which really helped me pass.
Hani A – Dentistry Year 2, The University of Adelaide
All of the tutors at UMed have greatly assisted me through my UCAT journey by constantly answering my many questions and ensuring that I am able to learn from my mistakes. Despite underperforming in the lead up to my test, UMed was always there to help me and guide me to excelling in my UCAT test and I was able to comfortably receive a medical and dental interview. The tutors have guided me and others at the course in achieving our dental and medical goals through their constant support and are always available to help and accept our out of hours messages.

Kevin L – Dentistry Year 2, Griffiths University
I would like to give my deepest gratitude to the UMED family, a family that enabled me to strive to become the best version of myself. I really appreciated how the tutors went above and beyond in regards to teaching the UCAT content. Despite the numerous amount of students present in each class, the tutors were always more than happy to stay back after class to further consolidate my knowledge. In addition, the UMED team treated all their students as if they were family, which I can tell, made a big difference in the classes attitudes. Once again, I would like to thank everyone in UMED for igniting my passion to achieve my dreams, I could not have done it without you all.
