“Soham has helped me immensely with my preparation for medical school interviews. He firstly provided me with tailored knowledge and insight into the WSU interview process and guided me through how to answer specific WSU questions that may be asked. This helped immensely in me acing my WSU interview. Furthermore on only a days notice he helped me with some rapid fire UNSW questions and assistance that was tremendous in its quality and accuracy as it helped me attain a placement in UNSW medicine as well. I owe my place in medical school largely to Soham and would recommend him to anyone trying to prepare for interviews.”

“I found Soham's tutoring highly beneficial in gaining both a strong understanding of the MMI interview style and self confidence. I liked how we went straight into practicing answers and working on my structure early on. I appreciated the patience and clarity of thought he showed when explaining his feedback. I learnt the importance of signposting and utilising reading time efficiently to answer with clarity and confidence. The mock exams were designed in a way that I would be exposed to a range of scenarios and difficulties. Thanks to Soham's dedicated approach and diligently crafted questions I was able to secure an offer to Western Sydney Medicine :)”

“When I started my preparation journey I felt extremely overwhelmed, especially having been unsuccessful in the UCAT before. Soham's mentorship helped me stay focussed on what I needed to improve, and helped me stay self-assured. As a result of my prep, I received a UCAT score of 2340, which was a major improvement from previous years, where I failed to pass the 70th percentile. Furthermore, after doing some mock interviews with Soham, I was able to receive an offer to Griffith Dentistry. The mock interviews scenarios were extremely similar to the real interview, and I am so grateful for Soham's support which got me over the line!”

“Soham's tutoring was great in so many ways. He was kind and always considerate, always accommodating for my needs like the time of the class and what I wanted to do or learn in the class. He was patient and taught the fundamentals and the specific techniques I used for my interview. His teaching style was also laid back but in a good way, where there was no over bearing strictness, rather like a teacher in school who actively wants the best for you. He made it comfortable for me to open up about my struggles with interviews and he gave me great, specific advice which was extremely helpful in helping me fix my insecurities and mistakes. It was more than just the tuition, as he always checked up on me and my wellbeing. Overall a fantastic tutor who I can gladly recommend to anyone in need of a tutor. It was with all of this help that I was able to thoroughly prepare for my WSU med interview which I ended up getting an offer for as well. 10/10 tutor!”

“Soham was an incredible tutor who taught me the essential skills to succeed in medical interviews and finally receive an offer. He provides a thorough list of questions and prompts which allows you to familiarise yourself with a wide range of questions you may not have encountered before. His feedback is always detailed, addressing your approach to the question, the content of your answer, pacing, structure etc. In times where you may need additional support, he is also very flexible in his schedule and always willing to help.”

Frequently asked questions
How important is the interview?
In the vast majority of cases, your interview makes or breaks your admissions chances, ranging anywhere between 40% to 100% weightage for the final offer. Most universities have an average admissions rate of around 25%, while Voyager Academy students had over a 90% success rate in 2025/26.
Which universities do you cover?
We hold deep, university-specific content for WSU, UNSW, JMP and Griffith Dentistry, including mocks built on each university's most recent format and questions. For every other university, our modular core program covers the same skills and station types, adapted to the format of your interview.
Does the program suit dentistry applicants?
Yes. Our tutors hold dental offers themselves, including UQ, UAdel and Griffith Dentistry, and Griffith Dentistry is one of our specialty universities with deep content coverage.
How does booking work?
Lessons are booked flexibly as needed around your schedule. There is no fixed weekly slot: most students book their next lesson at the end of each one, and pace the program around interview dates, exams and work.
Can I add extra lessons or mocks mid-program?
Yes, at your package's discounted rates. Many students add a mock before a second interview, or an extra lesson on a station type they want more practice with. The rates are listed on each package card above.
Why choose Voyager over another company?
We hold the most recent past interview questions, and every resource is updated to match each cycle. The curriculum has no fluff, and it has been proven to succeed: over 90% of our 2025 students received an offer. Our 1-on-1 rates are also significantly better than competitors', even though every Voyager tutor must hold at least two offers to be eligible to teach interviews.
Why not go with a private tutor?
Voyager's course is 1-on-1, just as it would be with a private tutor. The difference is what sits behind the lessons. Private tutor quality varies: some charge exorbitant prices, and some budget options work from outdated questions or teach without a structured program. That is not us throwing shade. It reflects the experiences of our own students, many of whom moved to Voyager from private tutors.
I found another service which is cheaper. Why should I go with Voyager?
We positioned our pricing against industry standards, where premium 1-on-1 interview tutoring typically exceeds $150/hr without providing superior admissions outcomes. A lower rate elsewhere usually means a tutor with fewer offers, a less structured program, or resources that have not been updated for the current interview cycle. We strongly believe our prices reflect the experience and skill of our tutors, and the quality of our programs, resources and teaching. If you ever disagree, the refund policy is there.
What is the refund policy?
There are no lock-in contracts: any lessons or mocks not yet delivered are refunded, pro-rata on the package price. Payment is split, with a 50% deposit on booking and 50% at the midpoint of the program, and the deposit is fully refundable before your first lesson. The Question Bank is non-refundable; access runs to 29 December and is extended if you receive a later interview. The full policy is in our terms and conditions.
Will I be taught scripted answers?
No. Strong interview answers should sound clear, thoughtful and authentic rather than memorised. Students develop a personal bank of experiences, reflections and examples, then learn how to adapt them naturally to ethical dilemmas, teamwork questions, conflict scenarios and motivation-based prompts.
What does the 90%+ interview success rate mean?
In the 2025 application round, more than 90% of Voyager Academy interview students received a Medicine or Dentistry offer. This reflects the outcomes of that cohort, not a guaranteed result: final outcomes also depend on each student's preparation, performance and the competitiveness of the relevant university.
