About

🌟 ATAR 99.6 🌟 5th in Cohort at Fort St High School 🌟 ANU Tuckwell Scholar 🌟 2000+ Hours Tutoring Experience 🌟 Graduate Solicitor Hi, I'm Max. I graduated from Fort St High School in 2020 with an ATAR of 99.6, finishing 5th in my cohort and receiving the ANU Tuckwell Scholarship (one of Australia's most competitive academic scholarships). I currently work as a graduate solicitor in Sydney. I have over 2000 hours of tutoring experience with 50+ Year 10, 11 and 12 students since completing my HSC in 2020, and over 80% of my HSC students have achieved Band 6s in the subjects I tutor them in. Success Stories πŸ† ✍️ One of my students came 4th in the state in Standard English in 2021 πŸš€ A 2022 HSC student went from being ranked in the bottom third of his year in English Advanced in year 11 to finishing his HSC in top 10 of his year group πŸ’‘A 2024 student progressed from getting Cs in assessments to being ranked 7 in cohort after two months of tuition πŸ…A 2024 student received an ATAR of 99.7 🧠 A 2026 student went from failing his first English Advanced assessment of the year to getting 84% in his second after starting tutoring with me My HSC Marks πŸŽ“ β€’ Economics – 95/100 β€’ English Advanced – 94/100 β€’ French Continuers – 96/100 β€’ History Extension – 47/50 β€’ Mathematics Advanced – 97/100 β€’ Mathematics Extension 1 – 46/50 β€’ Modern History – 95/100 My Teaching ApproachπŸ“ˆ My teaching style revolves around the student completing questions from my large bank of past papers which I then mark and give feedback on. This way I can identify and address any gaps in the student's understanding of the content. I also give my students an appropriate amount of newspaper and JSTOR articles to enrich their learning and add depth to their essays. I have a vast bank of past papers for all subjects that I tutor, and my students get access to these as well as my summary notes and stat banks. 2027 Syllabus Changes πŸ“š New syllabuses have been introduced this year for Preliminary English, History and Economics. 2026 is the final HSC year examined under the old syllabuses, with the new ones applying from 2027. I've spent considerable time getting across the new content (my former Economics teacher was actually involved in writing the new Economics syllabus). While some material has changed, the core skills that drive results (thorough preparation, clear thinking and well-structured writing) remain exactly the same. πŸ’¬ Feel free to message me to arrange a complimentary introductory session

Reviews

I've been studying English with Max since 2024 and have found his lessons extremely helpful. I used to struggle with understanding exactly what markers were looking for, but he helped me develop a clearer essay structure, strengthen my analysis, and identify the small mistakes that were holding me back. His feedback is detailed, practical, and tailored to my individual needs. Despite having an extensive vocabulary and a strong understanding of the subject, he remains patient and explains concepts in a way that is easy to understand. I've noticed a significant improvement in both my confidence and performance, and I would highly recommend him to any student looking to strengthen their English results.

Amazing tutor. He knows what the markers want and gives very precise feedback. He was much better than my previous tutor. In my first year 12 assessment I got 12/20. After a few months tuition with Max I got a 18/20. Would highly recommend.

Max helped me improve my marks in English by hammering home the importance of detailed technical analysis. He was so patient and thoughtful. Thanks so much!

Max is a really amazing tutor who explains concepts very well. He is very methodical and always makes sure I thoroughly understand topics before moving onto new ones. He has tutored me in English since February and I have seen great improvements in my results.

Max C is a great tutor, and has assisted me in boosting my English Advanced marks through thorough and specific feedback. Max has been able to clear up many difficulties I have had with english in the past, allowing me to consistently increase my marks across all modules within the course. I would highly recommend Max C as a tutor for any student struggling with english.

Max C. is an extremely, well-developed tutor who offers insightful comments as well offering a well organised structure for his lessons. His extensive knowledge in English as well as his strong verbal communication skills allows him to effectively teach well. However, his broad understanding of the subject isn't restricted not only to English, but to Modern History as well. I would personally recommend Max C. as he is adaptable to each student limits and capabilities.
William on 12th October 2021
Max is an awesome tutor. He covers the content very thoroughly and gives me plenty of practice questions for homework.

Jenny Guo on 6th September 2021
I've had a very positive experience with Max. He's tutored me in prelim eco and english since the start of the year and I feel I've come a long way in that time. Particularly, I like his table approach to english analysis which has been real helpful to structure my notes.
David S on 28th August 2021
Max started tutoring me a few months ago in english and economics and he has helped me immensely. My marks in both subjects increased considerably, and I feel much more comfortable going into the HSC exams than I did for my assessments at the beginning of the year. Max is patient and knowledgeable and I couldn't recommend him highly enough as a tutor
