About

EXPERT DEBATING, PUBLIC SPEAKING, ENGLISH, BIOLOGY, PDHPE, and ECONOMICS TUTOR: Hi! I have been tutoring English, Debating, and Public Speaking since 2018 for a variety of professional colleges and private students. As the Best Speaker of the Australian Debating Championships in 2022 and Director of Debating at Knox, I specialise in debating and public speaking tutoring for students of all ages. I have a friendly and encouraging teaching style that encourages deep critical thinking. I have worked at Sydney’s Premier Debating Colleges and High Schools as well as international online based coaching colleges with students of all ages and experience levels. I was the Chief Adjudicator of the Australian National Debating Championships and the Australasian Debating Championships in 2023, and was a Grand Finalist of the Australasian Debating Championships. As a high school student I achieved DUX of Vincentian High School every year consecutively from, and studied Biology (Band 6), PDHPE (Band 6), Advanced Mathematics, Extension 1 English, Modern History (89/100) and Advanced English (Band 6). As a university student I am studying a Bachelor of Commerce Majoring in Marketing Management and Economics. I was awarded the Department of Economics Prize in 2020 for placing first in a cohort of over 2000+ students in the course ECON1020 - Principles of Economics 1. I was awarded the Department of Marketing Prize in 2021 for placing first in MKTG2008 - Marketing Management. I pride myself in building confidence in my students and helping them to excel in their academic and co-curricular aims. I provide sessions over Zoom and can arrange home visits for the Northern Beaches and Sydney’s North Shore. As a tutor I can help with essay writing, homework marking, teaching content, skill-building exercises, competition preparation, debating and public speaking feedback, and more. Please feel free to reach out! I have helped students to increase their rankings in school debating and public speaking selections and improve their exam marks.
