Tutoring near Kensington Park, Adelaide, SA


About

Hi, I'm Vijay! I graduated in 2020 from Pembroke School with an ATAR of 99.55 and a 99th percentile UCAT score (3200) and am now in my 4th year as a medical student at the University of Adelaide. ๐—”๐—ฏ๐—ผ๐˜‚๐˜ ๐—บ๐—ฒ I have been tutoring for over four years and have helped many students achieve their goals, including admission to medical schools around the country and multiple merits in Research Project, Activating Identities and Future (AIF) and Maths Methods. My best subjects were Maths Methods (19.8) and the Research Project where I scored a merit with 9.85. Additionally, I have also obtained a DHS Working with Children Check. ๐Ÿ๐ŸŽ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ‘ ๐ซ๐ž๐ฌ๐ฎ๐ฅ๐ญ๐ฌ This year my UCAT students scored an average of 3065 (93rd percentile), allowing them to secure offers to medical schools around the country. Students also received merits in Maths methods (19.8, 19.9), AIF (9.85, 9.8), research project (9.85) and Biology (19.8, 19.9) ๐— ๐˜† ๐—ฎ๐—ฝ๐—ฝ๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐—ฎ๐—ฐ๐—ต ๐˜๐—ผ ๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—ฐ๐—ต๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด I am a patient and understanding tutor who is always willing to answer questions and provide additional explanations when necessary. Having gone through the challenges of year 12 in one of the most difficult years for students, I can offer helpful tips and tricks that I wish I had. My teaching approach is heavily tailored to each student's unique strengths and weaknesses, with a focus on mastering the basics before progressing to more advanced concepts. I like to regularly review previously taught material and test my students to ensure that they have understood the concepts fully. Despite this, I like to accelerate my students ahead of their class and have a variety of resources, including past tests and A+ exemplars, that I use to expose students to exam and test style questions. ๐——๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐—ณ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด I understand the importance of high-quality written work and I will work with students to ensure that assignments meet the required standards. While I typically draft assignments during lessons, I am also available to provide additional drafting services The cost will depend on the amount of editing required, but as a rough guide: 1500 WORDS | $160 2000 WORDS | $200

Vijay has been tutoring our son weekly for almost 6 months and within that short amount of time we have seen a significant change in his attitude towards learning, as well as a real boost in his confidence. Vijay is friendly, approachable and patient. He is professional and always on time. We would highly recommend.
