About

Currently 5 weekly students | Treat your marks as my own | 4 years (1800hr+) tuition EXP | High Distinction in Biomedical Science | Discount rates Tutors become exemplary role models when they effectively teach, inspire, and engage students simultaneously. I prioritise my students' understanding of foundational knowledge. From personal experience, a strong foundation paves the way to the comprehension of more difficult concepts. I actively make sure they understand what I teach and clarify all misconceptions they may have. My teaching strikes a balance between intuitive understanding of core concepts and procedural techniques for students to think on their feet in unfamiliar situations. With a fluid tutoring style to accommodate various learning preferences, I provide a flexible environment for my students. I actively engage students with revision quizzes and comprehensible analogies in a friendly judgment-free environment where students can ask questions without hesitation. Complementary homework to reinforce school-curriculum topics can be arranged if desired. I look forward to discussing a personalised study plan and a suitable schedule with you. Please message even if my available times don't fit, I will strive to accommodate. Rates below apply for online tuition.
