About Alexander
Hi! I scored 92 in Section 2 of the GAMSAT in March 2026, a score that is among the highest recorded.
I'm a PhD candidate in Philosophy & Psychology at Stanford. I've tutored and lectured undergraduates for 6 years, here and at the University of Sydney, across a range of courses. I love teaching philosophy to STEM students, and science to philosophy students.
Alongside that, I've had solo academic work published in philosophy journals and public-facing magazines. A recent piece was a finalist for the Aeon Philosophy Prize.
I've done well on the exam myself, and I spend my working life teaching people to think through conceptually difficult problems, and to communicate their ideas to others clearly and persuasively. I'd love to help you achieve your goals on Section 2!

Lessons are 1:1 and highly personalised.
In a first session I'll get to know you—your goals, strengths, areas of improvement, and learning style—and we'll look at an essay or two you've already written. There are a vast number of ways to succeed in Section 2, so I can teach you my own approach, or help you discover and refine yours.
The focus regardless is on expressing your own ideas with clarity, rigor, and charisma. The best responses are both insightful and a pleasure to read. These are difficult things to do well—but they are absolutely teachable!
Templates, essay-writing "hacks", and other shortcuts tend to make your writing superficial, generic, and fragile (i.e., you won't be able to adapt to challenging prompts, nor distinguish yourself from others on familiar prompts).
It is far better to build the underlying skills of interpreting a prompt, generating an idea, exploring it with depth and originality, and putting it into clear and compelling prose—so you can deftly handle whatever comes up on the day.
You do not need to be a trained or naturally talented writer to do this well. In fact, trying to sound like one by imitating a formal, academic, or 'writerly' voice is a common way students lose marks. Simple, direct writing is almost always preferable. We'll develop your writing voice together.
"Hacks" aside, it is important to be strategic and efficient in your preparation and on exam day. I can help you with both. I also cover essay structure, grammar and style, drawing on personal experience, common traps students fall into, and how to use secondary resources (including when to use AI chatbots, and when not to).
Finally, I offer advanced essay marking, including inline comments and targeted redrafting tasks.
You are welcome to try essay marking before committing to a lesson. Everything is online, and I'm happy to work across time zones. The first session is free!
