99.95 ATAR | FOUR STATE RANKS | 3380 UCAT | 98 English Adv, 49 English Ext, 98 Economics | English and Economics Specialist Tutor, Medicine Interview Training | UNSW Medicine --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ⭐️ABOUT ME⭐️ Hi! My name is Natasha and I graduated in 2020 with an ATAR of 99.95. I offer tuition in the following subjects: - English Advanced (98/100 -16th in NSW) - English Extension 1 (49/50 - 7th in NSW) - Economics (98/100 - 5th in NSW) I also provide a comprehensive 📚ESSAY MARKING📚 service for both English and Economics, where I provide detailed feedback identifying specific areas (generally multiple comments on most lines) where you can improve, and more importantly examples of HOW to improve. The feedback I provide is of greater depth and with a faster response time than schools will often provide. Focusing tutoring on English and Economics has allowed me to develop a precise, specific approach to teaching each of these subjects. I enjoy working with students of all ability as I am confident the skills I teach can be understood, learnt, and fine-tuned by anybody through the structured and clear lessons that I offer. I received place and interview offers for multiple medical schools nationwide including UNSW, USyd, WSU (JPM program), Newcastle (JMP program), UAdel, UQ, Monash, Flinders, UWA etc. as well as numerous scholarships. I am more than happy to also provide advice to students regarding the medicine admissions process (UCAT, applications, interviews). --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CREDENTIALS - 99.95 ATAR (2020 HSC) - 1st in NSW – Mathematics Advanced (HSC 2019) – 100/100 - 5th in NSW – Economics (HSC 2020) – 98/100 - 7th in NSW – English Extension (HSC 2020) – 49/50 - 16th in NSW – English Advanced (HSC 2020) – 98/100 - I also took Chemistry, Maths Extension 1 and Studies of Religion II receiving Band 6’s. - 3380 UCAT score (99th percentile) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TEACHING STYLE/STRUCTURE I focus on guiding students to develop a conceptual, skills-based understanding and approach to questions rather than advocating a solely memorisation-based methodology. The skills developed under my teaching can be applied to other subjects and will ensure the resources developed in our preparation together (such as practice essays and responses) can be applied equally successfully in examination settings. In my lessons, I: English: 🔹Provide state ranking, holistic resources such as FULL MARK essays, analysis and notes to provide you proven examples of what the markers like. 🔹Teach you a clear, proven structure for essays, including guiding you through developing and refining rubric-specific thesis statements and paragraph expression. 🔹Strategies and techniques for Mod C/Literary Worlds (Extension) and reflection 🔹Teach you to link to the question in a sophisticated manner, alongside developing quality ideas demonstrating depth of consideration to ensure preparation is best adapted in the exam Economics: 🔹Provide state ranking notes, resources and full mark sample responses. 🔹Teach you to establish links between basic concepts and apply this to more complex ideas. 🔹Discuss up-to-date data, and teaching you to apply this when developing sophisticated, multi-perspective responses to questions. 🔹Explain to you a clear structure for answering short answers, extended responses (often a weak area) and for approaching multiple choice questions, especially harder ones requiring multi step approaches. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- GENERAL LESSON PLAN This can vary according to your current knowledge, weaknesses and wants regarding focus areas. English We will go through module-specific approaches to writing, outlining a key and in-depth essay structure. In-lesson, we will discuss ideas and develop a clear thesis statement to give you confidence during the writing process. In the editing process, we will go through essays sentence-by-sentence and I will provide direction in how to rework sentence ideas and expression during lessons. Economics Content will be taught in a clear, understandable manner that reinforces understanding of basic concepts and its application to new material. I will provide exam-style questions (multiple choice, short answer and especially essay questions which are a common weak point) to continuously assess your understanding and expression of the recently taught content. We will discuss recent data and events and focusing on learning how to collect relevant statistics from government and financial articles as well as integrate these skilfully into a response. We will also discuss any questions or insights throughout to ensure you develop an enriched, thorough understanding. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- RATES AND AVAILABLE CLASSES Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, classes will be held online.
