About
I just graduated from UQ with a Bachelor of Advanced Science majoring in Physics and received first class Honours for my thesis on astrophysics/cosmology. I have always loved studying maths and science, and I also have an aptitude for English and language studies. In high school I took Maths B and C, Physics, Chemistry, English and German, and I achieved VHAs in all six subjects.
As a tutor, I enjoy fostering confidence in my students by leaning into their strengths and finding a way to make challenging concepts ‘click’ for them. I strongly believe that all students can excel if they are taught in a way that suits their particular style of intelligence. When teaching, I avoid taking over or simply telling the student what to do, and instead support them to arrive at the correct answer themselves.
I am also very organised, punctual and reliable.
