I excelled at Pymble Ladies' College, coming 1st in Earth and Environmental Science, and top 5 in PDHPE and Biology. I truly enjoy helping support students of any learning style to achieve their best possible academic outcomes. As a tutor, I will be a friendly and reassuring face to help you improve in your chosen subjects, written and verbal communication skills via one-on-one online tutoring.

Reviews

Saskia has been my Chemistry and Biology tutor for 18 months and I would not be getting the marks I'm getting without her help. She explains thing clearly, helps to improve my assignments and assessments, and best of all, she's very nice. She will patiently explain a concept I'm struggling with and this helps with my anxiety. Couldn't have got through the year without your support - Thank you Saskia!

We were lucky to find Saskia to tutor our daughter in Year 11 and 12 in Biology, Chemistry, PDHPE and Earth and Environmental Science. Saskia helped improve our daughter's marks across these subjects substantially helping her achieve Band 6 in each of them. Saskia does more than tutor the subject material - she patiently guided our daughter with study tips and exam preparation skills. Thank you Saskia!

Saskia tutored my son in Year 12 HSC - Chemistry, Biology, PDHPE and Earth and Environmental Science. She is a great tutor who is reliable and organised. Her sessions provided my son with motivation to excel and also guided him with study skills and exam techniques. His self confidence improved and he was much calmer through what has been a stressful 2 years of high school. As a parent, I found Saskia easy to communicate with and her rates were excellent value for the service provided. I would highly recommend Saskia as a tutor anytime.
