Hi! Iām John, a 2020 graduate of North Sydney Boys High School with an ATAR of 99.95. I am currently completing Bachelor of Science/Doctor of Medicine double degree at The University of Sydney, with an undergraduate specialisation in Mathematics and Statistics.
A snapshot of my HSC results:
- ATAR: 99.95
- 99 in Extension 2 Mathematics
- 98 in Extension 1 Mathematics
- 97 in Economics with an internal mark of 100/100 (1st in North Sydney Boys)
- 96 in English Advanced with an internal mark of 99/100 (1st in North Sydney Boys)
- 96 in Chemistry
- State Rank 6th in NSW for Information Processes and Technology
Having taught 100+ top achievers across Sydney Grammar, PLC, Knox, Ascham, NSB, NSG and James Ruse since 2020, I have extensive experience teaching Preliminary and HSC Maths and Economics to deliver results for high-performing students. Between, 10+ of my Economics students placed in the Top 10 internal ranks (including multiple Rank 1s at North Sydney Boys). My Mathematics students have similarly achieved improvements of 20-30% in their assessment marks since commencing, with several students ranking first in Extension 1 & 2 Mathematics in their respective cohorts.
I will take a holistic interest in your learning by devising a personalised learning schedule for each student. I also dedicate a significant amount of focus to developing your conceptual understanding, as opposed to rote learning. Each lesson revolves around a specific topic with prepared material/questions for students to get well ahead of school, prepare for upcoming examinations, or consolidate gaps in their knowledge. Feel free to take a look at student reviews below to get a gauge of my teaching style.
I am currently onboarding new students in Yr11 (Prelim) and Yr12 (HSC) for Economics and 2U-4U Maths. Please do not hesitate to reach out if you are interested in a trial lesson - I will endeavour to reply within 12 hours.
My fee schedule is as follows:
- 1-on-1: $150/hr for recurring weekly lessons, $180/hr for one-off exam preparation/revision sessions.
- Group lessons: $80/hr for groups of 2, $60/hr for groups of 3+.
Thank you for your interest, and I look forward to helping you through your academic journey!

John was a great economics tutor when I was taught by him. He made the initially difficult concepts easier to understand by presenting them in a concise manner that helped me improve my appreciation for the subject overall alongside improving my marks and exam technique. With his very easy, outgoing nature I would highly recommend John as a tutor.

I had the privilege of being tutored by John in economics, and I can confidently say that he is genuinely one of the best tutors you will come across. John's expertise and teaching style have had a profound impact on my understanding of economics, and I cannot recommend him highly enough.
John possesses a deep knowledge of the subject matter. He has a unique ability to simplify complex concepts, making them accessible and engaging for students at all levels, in particular the difficult topics such as Balance of Payments that majority of students struggle with in Year 12. Prior to year 12, I focused more on the memorisation of concepts rather than truely understanding their applications, which has since been corrected since I begun tutoring with John. He also goes further than the syllabus in areas, which has deepened my understanding and also allowed me to achieve top ranks at North Sydney Girls High school, gaining a 93 in my trial examination.
One of John's standout qualities is his teaching approach. He tailors his methods to suit each student's individual needs, and is always available to answer questions via message or give me guidance on how I would format an essay/scaffold. His patience and willingness to answer questions are second to none, creating a welcoming and supportive learning environment.
John also goes above and beyond to ensure his students' success. He provides comprehensive study materials, practice questions, and insightful feedback on assignments, with detailed case studies that proved extremely helpful in my essay writing for year 12 economics. Unlike other tutors who simply go via the textbook, John also provides real life examples of how the concepts are applied which are critical in achieving a band 6.
Under John's guidance, my confidence in economics has increased and my grades have significantly improved. His teaching has been instrumental in helping me not only understand the subject but also develop a love for the subject (economics is the best subject).
Ultimately if you are looking for a great and passionate tutor I would highly recommend John :D

John is an exceptional economics tutor, who has helped me truly conceptualize economic concepts. John's in-depth comprehension of economics is astounding. What sets him apart is his ability to not only explain complex economic theories but also to ensure that I understand the underlying principles. He doesn't encourage rote memorization but rather fosters a deep understanding of the subject. What truly stands out is John's customized approach. He understands that every student is unique, and he tailors his teaching to my learning style. This personalized touch has been instrumental in helping me grasp and apply economic concepts effectively. Moreover, John's dedication goes beyond scheduled sessions. He's readily available for additional help, answering questions over text, or even scheduling extra sessions when I face challenges. His unwavering commitment to my understanding and success in economics is a testament to his skills as a tutor, able to help me go from ranking under the median in my cohort to achieving top 10 results in assessments throughout Year 12. I would highly recommend John as a tutor for students of all levels for wish to excel in their studies!

John is a competent and engaging tutor. Learning Economics and English from John, I became much more confident in my short and extended responses. He pinpointed my exact flaws and described how to improve them, providing exemplar responses and thorough critiques. Also, learning 4U maths from him, he was able to take complicated ideas and make them easy to understand. I would highly recommend John to anyone who aims to excel in their subjects.

John is a fantastic tutor who tailors to his student's needs. I did extensive 1-1 tutoring with John for Maths and Chemistry in the term leading up to the Trial HSC, and improved my rankings for 4U & 3U maths and Chemistry to Rank First at Cheltenham Girls. I highly recommend John to anyone looking to excel at high school.

John Xie is an enthusiastic, dedicated and overall outstanding tutor for all of the subjects he offers tutoring. Before joining his Economics lessons, it was becoming more likely that I would drop Economics as my marks and ranks were near the bottom of my cohort. However under his guidance, I managed to skyrocket my rank into the top 5 and achieve an average assessment mark of 92% in Year 12.

Without a doubt, having John as a tutor will allow you to make bounds throughout all aspects of high school. Whilst a 99.95 ATAR is a testament to his depth of knowledge and expertise regarding 3U, 4U Maths, Economics, English Advanced, and Chemistry, ultimately it is his dedication to his students and a flexible teaching style that ensures visible improvements and results. With personalized feedback and resources, detailed insight and explanations into exam techniques, invaluable advice for interviews, and applications to medicine, STEM, and commerce courses, John offers an experience like no other tutor that ensures you achieve the best possible results in all aspects of your high school career.

As a student at North Sydney Boys High School struggling with economics, I decided to begin tutoring with John Xie along with a few classmates. Thanks to his great teaching, in which he provided weekly marked short answer, multiple choice and essay practise homework, as well as in depth in class tuition which provided me with an expansive knowledge of the course which far outweighed that of students at my school, my classmates with John and I all rose to be within the top 5 ranks for economics at North Sydney Boys, with us yet to begin our final HSC exams. I would highly recommend John for economics students of all levels, thanks to his teaching I guarantee that your rank will rise exponentially like mine has done.

After joining John for Economics, my rank skyrocketed from Rank 3 to Rank 1. John has been very helpful with answering questions and teaching content in a sophisticated yet concise manner which surpassed the superficiality of simply depending on school content. Highly recommend.
