About

* First lesson half price * Master of Science (Physics) * 8+ years experience * ATAR 98.50 * I am a patient, friendly and knowledgeable tutor with a passion for learning and teaching. I have years of experience tutoring, teaching individual and small group classes at Edukingdom College Footscray since 2015 (VCE methods, specialist, physics, 7-10 science, 9-10 maths, selective school test preparation). I was also a physics tutor and lab demonstrator at Melbourne Uni in 2013-14, and tutor at University College. I studied maths and physics at the University of Melbourne from graduating with BSc (Physics), DipMathSc (Pure Math), and MSc (Physics). My masters was with the Astrophysics group where I achieved a WAM of 83, and received 89 for my thesis on neutron stars. I was on the Dean's Honors List in my first year and received a 96 for Calculus 2. I graduated as DUX of Castlemaine Secondary College in 2008 with an ATAR of 98.50, studying VCE Physics, Maths Methods, Specialist Maths, Chemistry, English and Music Solo Performance. My classes are relaxed flexible and I make an effort to adapt to students particular needs. I usually teach online using Zoom / Skype and Microsoft OneNote. I have a stylus for annotating the screen and online editions of most textbooks. I am most familiar with the TI-Nspire CAS calculator but have also successfully taught students with a CASIO Classpad. I have a current working with children card. Whether you are looking for some extra help to survive VCE, chasing those high study scores, or looking for some enrichment and extension, I believe my classes will be valuable. I am most interested in teaching VCE Methods, Specialist, Physics and Uni Extension Maths, but I am very happy to help out younger students as well. I am usually available Monday, Tuesday or Thursday after school, exact times will vary. Please contact me with any questions about my teaching style and availabilities. I am willing to do home visits in the Castlemaine / Bendigo area for an additional $20 driving fee. Looking forward to hearing from you!
