About
Currently accepting new students for 2026
Hi everyone, my aim as a tutor is to reinforce positive study habits and teach strategies that will help students confidently study whilst being an outlet for students to express their concerns and difficulties. I am a friendly, responsive and dedicated tutor and am here to help in any way I can.
I completed VCE in 2020 with an ATAR of 93.7. In 2023, I graduated from the University of Melbourne with First Class Honours in a Bachelor of Science, majoring in Human Physiology. In 2026, I will be completing the final year of my Master of Pharmaceutical Science at Monash University.
VCE Subjects I specialise in:
- General mathematics (41)
- Biology (41)
- Physical Education (41)
- Studio Art (42)
- English (40)
- Mathematical Methods (38)
Tutoring experience:
I have 6 years of tutoring experience with over 100 students ranging from years 7-12. I have had numerous VCE students achieve 90+ ATARs with countless 40+ study scores in General Maths, Physical Education, Biology and English.
Services:
My personalised tutoring aims to achieve more than simply help students survive their next assessment - I develop students’ study skillsets so they can become confident and independent learners that continually grow throughout their secondary school experience.
To ensure real progress, I frequently have students for many years as this provides sufficient time to establish strong rapport with my students and identify gaps in their knowledge and skillset. From here I can guide them through difficult concepts and topics whilst tracking measurable growth with weekly personalised homework worksheets that reinforce their learning outside of session times. These weekly worksheets are then reviewed live with students to help them correct and understand their mistakes.
Additional resources provided within session packages:
Years 7–10:
- Curated practice test and revision materials
- Weekly homework worksheets to reinforce concepts between sessions
- Weekly progress check-ins, including correction and feedback, so
parents can see tangible improvement
- Printed, subject-specific notes and key concept summaries for
ongoing revision and exam preparation
VCE Students:
- Up-to-date practice SACs and exams aligned with the current VCE
study design
- Topic-by-topic VCAA exam questions, making revision more efficient
and specific
- Weekly homework worksheets to consolidate learning outside sessions
- Weekly progress check-ins with corrections and guidance to track
improvement
- Printed VCE-specific notes and key concept summaries, tailored to
coursework requirements
I also offer support via email or message from Monday-Friday, so students can ask questions, clarify concepts, or seek guidance whenever they need it — providing them with necessary reassurance when stressful assessment periods roll around!
Online sessions (via Zoom, Microsoft Teams or Google Meeting) are fully interactive and delivered using an iPad and Apple Pencil, allowing real-time collaboration on a digital whiteboard — just like in-person learning.
I have a valid working with children check and drivers license. I am also triple vaccinated against COVID-19.
Please do not hesitate to contact me to discuss class times/session packs/locations or any other concerns.

Reviews
Hugh is an excellent tutor, not only helping apply my knowledge in sessions but also having the ability to teach and clear up any gaps in my learning to ensure I was prepared for all SACs and the final exam. I ended the year by achieving a 95.20 ATAR and a study score of 41 in biology, a score that would not have been possible without the help from Hugh, who took me from a student who struggled to grasp key concepts before we began our sessions in biology, to someone who could recall all relevant concepts and have a deep understanding of all content. Without the help of Hugh in tutoring, I would not have achieved the score I did.
Bill Hipwell on 18th December 2025
Hugh tutored me for Units 1 and 2 Maths Methods, as well as units 3 and 4 Physical Education in 2024, and tutored me in units 3 and 4 General Maths and Biology in 2025. He is a friendly and amiable person and was extremely helpful, offering great assistance during our sessions alongside notes and questions that helped me study independently. This all led to me achieving an ATAR score well beyond what I was aiming for throughout the year, which I do not believe would have been possible without the help from Hugh.
James Hipwell on 18th December 2025
Hugh is a great tutor. He is very good at explaining everything clearly. He is very patient and happy to re-explain things if you are struggling to understand. My maths has drastically improved.
jensen hancock on 18th November 2023
Hugh was a great help throughout the course of my VCE studies with physical education. Hugh provided excellent tutoring, providing answers to practice questions outside of the scheduled tutoring time slots. This was a great help and I would highly recommend Hugh as a VCE tutor.
Alessio Parletta on 16th November 2023
My time tutoring with Hugh was extremely worthwhile and reflected through results in tests and other assessments, he was very flexible with sessions and clear with instructions and directions he gave for both completing work and studying too. Hugh was very clear and understanding and made learning very easy and comfortable. Along with this, there were never any problems when tutoring and he offered extra support across other subjects as well as any further questions I may have had to send through even if we weren't tutoring. My results and understanding increased and so did my overall knowledge and skill to study and understand the work I may not have seen before. No complaints and very worthwhile.

Character references
I’m pleased to provide this reference for Hugh, who has supported my daughter for over two years in Maths, English, and Biology.
Hugh is an exceptional tutor, combining strong subject knowledge with a genuinely caring and holistic approach. He is patient, diligent, and takes the time to understand my daughter’s learning style and goals. This enabled him to build a strong rapport and create a supportive environment where she felt confident to ask questions and challenge herself.
Beyond teaching the curriculum, Hugh provided consistent guidance, structure, and reassurance, particularly during exam periods. His calm and methodical support was instrumental in helping my daughter approach exams with confidence. As a result of his dedication, she achieved an outstanding ATAR of 95.75 for Year 12 VCE 2025, to which Hugh was a key contributor.
I highly recommend Hugh as a reliable and highly effective tutor who truly cares about his students’ progress and wellbeing.

Exceptional Tutor – Highly Recommended!
Hugh was an outstanding tutor for my Year 11 student in 2024, providing invaluable support in both Year 12 Biology (Units 3 & 4) and Year 11 Maths Methods (Units 1 & 2). Thanks to Hugh’s expert guidance and dedication, my student achieved an incredible raw score of 43 in Year 12 Biology—a truly remarkable result!
Hugh is an excellent communicator, always punctual, flexible, and incredibly supportive. He builds great rapport with students, fostering both confidence and deep subject understanding. His ability to explain complex concepts clearly and engagingly made a significant impact on my student's learning journey.
I highly recommend Hugh to anyone seeking a knowledgeable, reliable, and results-driven tutor. His commitment to student success is evident, and we couldn’t be more grateful for his support!
We wish Hugh all the best for his next chapter of higher education studies—he has a bright future ahead!
By Michelle R on 2nd February 2025
We highly recommend Hugh R. He is extremely knowledgeable, explains approaches to difficult questions, can clearly relate how aspects of the body are interconnected and gave my son a lot of confidence leading up to the final PE exam. Hugh works really hard through each tutoring session and we will be forever grateful that we came across him.
