About

Hey there! My name is Derek and I graduated from Mansfield State High School in 2020 with an ATAR of 99.90, placing me within the top 60 students in Queensland. I am currently studying in my first year of Medicine at Griffith University, having completed a Bachelor of Medical Science with a GPA of 7.0. My results from grade 12 were; Biology – 95% Chemistry – 96% English – 95% Mathematical Methods – 96% Physics – 99% Specialist Mathematics – 96% With over 2 years of tutoring experience, I have a strong passion in ensuring that students understand the explanations and concepts that underpin the content, and not just the surface-level information. I prioritise building connections with students and creating a safe and comfortable environment in which students are confident in their own abilities and are not afraid to ask questions. I am more than happy to help with homework, assignments, content comprehension, exam preparation, and everything in between. As a graduate of the new ATAR and QCE system, I have first-hand experience and understanding of the assessment requirements and syllabus content. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions and to enquire about availability! Please note I am currently only available for online tutoring.
