I am currently the Head Tutor at MS Learning, with over 8 years of experience in teaching. I specialise in English, Maths, Legal Studies and Business Studies for NSW students in Years 6-12. I hold a Bachelor of Laws (LLB) and Bachelor of Commerce (BCom) from the University of New South Wales.
Face-to-face vs online? Teacher quality matters more! My teaching is designed to help students learn and improve twice as fast.
I’d love for you to benefit from my teaching! Please contact me if you have any queries.

★ I put in a lot of time and effort outside of lessons to go through students’ work, leave detailed comments and prepare for class;

Reviews from some of my students & their parents:
1) “I have been with Katarina for about a year and a half now, since I was in Year 11. Now that I’m in Year 12, the biggest change I’ve noticed since joining MSL is my assessment results. Before joining, I was getting around 50-60% in Legal, English and Maths. Now I’m achieving around 85-90% in each assessment, and am currently ranked #1 in my cohort for Maths."
2) "Exceptional Tutoring Experience with MS Learning: A Parent's Review
My son, who is currently in Year 12, has been under the guidance of Katarina for approximately a year and half now, and we couldn't be more thrilled with the progress we've witnessed in his English, Maths and Legal Studies results during this time.
What sets MS Learning apart is their personalized approach to tutoring. Unlike other tutoring services, MS Learning takes the time to truly understand my son's unique learning style and tailor their teaching methods accordingly. The tutor, Katarina's approach is not just about imparting knowledge but fostering a deeper understanding of the subject matter. Regular feedback sessions have been invaluable in keeping us updated on my son's progress and identifying areas that need improvement.
One of the specific things our child found helpful with MS Learning is the emphasis on critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Katarina goes beyond rote learning and encourages our child to think analytically, which has proven to be immensely beneficial not only in academics but also in real-life situations."
3) “Our son, Joey, has engaged in Maths support through MSL for approximately 2 years, since he was in Year 6. What we really like about Katarina’s lessons is that the learning is tailored to our son’s needs, ensuring content aligns with what he is studying at school. Additionally, the tutor has worked closely with our son to determine gaps from school-based assessments that can be worked on. This has allowed our son to build confidence and self-efficacy in mathematics, ultimately showing confidence in the classroom and with his homework.
For us, the most impressive change is not the results on exams, but our son’s confidence to apply his mathematical knowledge when engaging in problem solving. Prior to starting with MSL, our son was not confident, resulting in a slow start to engaging in mathematics learning and also not finishing tasks within an appropriate time frame. Now, displaying more confidence with mathematics, our son engages in learning with enthusiasm as he is learning what tools are required for each task."
4) “MS Learning runs very personal lessons, where Katarina understands my strengths and weaknesses well. I like that my needs are addressed very directly and effectively, and my teacher works with me each lesson to give feedback on my work and improve it. This ensures that I constantly produce quality work and that my skills are consistently advancing and improving. I also like that the work we cover each lesson is useful for school.
These have been my school results for Year 11 and 12 so far:
