Hi, I'm Bob Chen. I state ranked 7th in NSW in Physics. At James Ruse, I ranked 1st for Physics and 3rd for Chemistry. Since graduating in 2019, I've tutored over 150 students and helped them achieve Top 5 in James Ruse and ATARS of 99.90.

******************************
I hated science because I was, probably like you ๐
, terrible at science back in Year 10. By the end of Year 10, I was ranking bottom 35% of my cohort. However, by the end of Year 11, I had topped James Ruse Physics, placing first in the cohort. By the end of Year 12, I was first in Physics, and had also become Top 5 in Chemistry.
How did I do it?
It has to do with questioning the content more deeply. To dig into the meaning behind equations and concepts and really think about it. To put in, โmental effortโ. Iโll be teaching you this technique and more to help you achieve better than your best.

At school, you get some repetitive worksheets, a tired explanation and left to die. You're confused, have no-one to ask questions and going to lose marks in exams.
I teach differently.

๐ฝ๐น๐ฎ๐ป๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป๐ ๐บ๐ฎ๐ธ๐ฒ ๐บ๐ฒ ๐ณ๐ฎ๐บ๐ผ๐๐. Every concept is explained intuitively and in-depth - from first principles. What my students, like Jade Yang, love most about my classes is how easy to understand, and in-depth my explainations are - which gives them the knowledge to score very well in exams. I have a sample below! This is backed by pedagogical research on 'mental effort'. It finds encouraging students to think deeply about why things are true boost your grades AND creates a love for the subject!
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโ โโโโ โโโโ โโโโ โโโโ โโโโ โค๏ธ ๐ ๐ผ๐ณ๐ณ๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐ฎ๐ฐ/๐ณ ๐๐๐ฝ๐ฝ๐ผ๐ฟ๐. Despite tutoring in groups only, students have said they've received more attention than with 1-1 tutors. Students are free to ask me any questions at anytime through email or text, or stay after class. I'll make sure to help you until you get it!
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโ โโโโ โโโโ โโโโ โโโโ โโโโ โค๏ธ ๐๐ฎ๐๐ฒ ๐ต๐ผ๐ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฒ๐
๐ฎ๐บ ๐น๐ผ๐ผ๐ธ๐ ๐ป๐ผ๐๐ต๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐น๐ถ๐ธ๐ฒ ๐ต๐ผ๐บ๐ฒ๐๐ผ๐ฟ๐ธ?! Every week, you'll get exam styled questions as homework. This gives you the chance to constantly prepare for the exam. The questions aren't repetitive like at school. These are cherry picked to be conceptually-challenging and exam styled to intellectually stimulate you.

I offer group (around 5-10) tutoring. These lessons will be delivered online, via Zoom. Dislike online teaching? My online experience is different to school. It's interactive. It's funny. I constantly ask student questions to get them engaged. I'm also a funny guy, which increases attention. I have purchased a professional microphone and drawing tablet for a highly immersive experience. Previous students, from James Ruse and Baulkham Hills, have preferred this over in person as it saves them precious travel time in HSC and allows for the same learning. Why not give it a try? First lesson is free if you don't like it.

Reviews
Bob has been such a helpful tutor - Iโm so, so grateful I found him.
I came to Bob for help in 2020 at the end of Year 11. COVID meant classes were online and the teachers werenโt doing a good job. By the end of year 11, I only got 49% on my exam.
Then I found Bob. Bob was able to explain complex concepts and questions in chemistry and physics in the most straightforward and intuitive way.
Classes were very personalised. Bob did an excellent job at marking my written responses and showing me how to perfect my answers, allowing me to consistently get 4/4 in my exams. This allowed me to go from 49% to getting a Band 6 in the HSC.
Most importantly, Bob was very generous with his time. He took time out of our sessions to help me with my depth studies and answered my questions when I encountered difficult questions (even outside of class hours!). When exam time rolled around, he would always spend time giving me practice/past papers and exam tips to ace everything from my practical exam to a theory exam.
Thank you so much, Bob!
