99.85 ATAR / 44 IB / 5+ YRS EXPERIENCE Hi, I'm Nicole Lin and I completed the IB Diploma with a 44 IB (99.85 ATAR) and am currently studying Doctor of Dental Medicine at Sydney University. I was the 2024 recipient of the Beauchamp Prize for Literature for my essay titled, "'Moral Illumination': On Martha C. Nussbaum's Literary Ethics". I offer IB tutoring in the following subjects (up-to-date with all syllabus changes!): - English Literature HL/SL AND English Language and Literature HL/SL - Biology HL/SL - Philosophy HL/SL - Economics HL/SL - Music HL/SL - TOK/CAS/EE/IAs - Essay feedback/guidance Primary/high school level areas of expertise: - English, Maths, Science (Years 7-10) - All subject areas (Years 1-6) - OC/Selective preparation (Reading comprehension, Maths, Thinking Skills, Writing) - Scholarship entrance exams and interviews - Medicine/Dentistry entrance (UCAT + Interview) ✨ IB TOK & PHILOSOPHY ✨ In my undergraduate studies (Bachelor of Science at USYD), I majored in Philosophy, and placed first in the course in 2020 and 2021, receiving additional prizes in subjects on Metaphysics, Time and Reality. My studies spanned a wide range of topics covered in the IB philosophy and TOK syllabus: aesthetics, ethics, and epistemology. As such, I can help provide much-needed clarity to complex TOK concepts and guidance for developing a strong, well-structured perspective in philosophy essays. ✨ STUDYING STRATEGICALLY ✨ The key to academic success is striking a balance between three key skills; thorough learning, consolidation and effective application to past paper questions. One of the fundamental errors that students make is to study endlessly without absorbing any of the information that is actually essential to their exams. I often found myself with limited time to prepare come exam time, which forced me to develop a concise, compact study technique, meaning that I learn what is necessary with accuracy and efficiency. Alongside my extensive collection of questionbanks and study notes, I will walk through each step of the process with you; first by breaking down the content to ensure full understanding, then through regular consolidation with past papers. Having worked with students of all ages, I have developed skills of flexibility and communication that can easily adapt to suit your learning strengths and target your weaknesses.
