About

🌟Experienced tutor for English and Maths My name is Tarini, a 3rd year medical student at UNSW with a strong academic background and 6 years of teaching experience. I achieved an ATAR of 98.95, with a top 10 rank in Mathematics Advanced and English Extension 1 at Baulkham Hills High School. I also achieved the top band in Mathematics Extension 1 and English Extension 2. I am a passionate teacher who creates interesting and motivational lessons for students. 📚ABOUT LESSONS ✍🏽English Lessons include reading comprehension, creative writing, grammar and essay writing. I also offer homework and essay help, going through texts students are studying in class and exploring other short stories and texts. Essay writing is taught systematically over several lessons. Classes are directed around the school curriculum. Creative writing, discursive, short answer and essay questions are provided with comprehensive feedback and lessons tailored to improve any weaknesses. I understand that the English Advanced and English Extension 1 curriculums can be challenging, and it is difficult to understand what the markers are looking for. However, I am very happy to assist in bringing out your strengths in the exam :) ➗Mathematics I offer comprehensive lessons based on the school curriculum as well as mathematics competitions that students may be entering. Lessons build on the content taught in class, consolidating base knowledge while applying them to real-world and problem-solving scenarios. I teach algebra, geometry, probability, areas and volumes and more. All lessons are tailored to students' individual levels and needs. 🧬Medicine Entry Coaching I offer UCAT coaching during June-August, and medical interview preparation courses in November-January. 🎓TEACHING STYLE I offer tailored lessons to suit students' needs, with a focus on building skills systematically. Students can request material they would like covered in future lessons, allowing them to strengthen areas of weakness or material taught in class. Regular in-class testing of previously covered content ensures that students are retaining material. Homework is given at the end of each class. I ensure lessons have a friendly, supportive environment for my students. They can speak up about any concerns they have or learning styles they prefer, and I am also happy to provide assignment guidance and homework help. Additionally, I offer guidance on exam preparation to ensure students feel confident for their school exams. ⌚AVAILABILITY I am available for in-person and online lessons on Sundays from 9 am to 3 pm, and Saturdays from 5 pm to 9 pm. I am also available for online classes only during the week after 5 pm. Please message me and we can discuss what time works best for you! 🧾RATES $60/h for English and Mathematics tutoring (Year 7-10) $65/h for English tutoring (Year 11-12) OTHER INFO Currently taking students to start in December 2026 to February 2027.

Tarini is a hardworking, intelligent and dedicated person who is amazingly suited to being a tutor. She's helped me countless times with my homework when we were both at school, and her patience and attentiveness is what makes her an outstanding teacher. I definitely recommend her for any kids who want to improve their school grades or study for exams, because she is well-rounded and loves sharing knowledge.
