I am offering tutoring for all year groups in the following subjects: - English (Years 7-10) - English Advanced - English Extension 1 - Maths (Years 7-10) - Maths Advanced - Geography (Year 7-12) - Economics (Years 11&12) I achieved an ATAR of 99.50 and received a State Rank of 9th in Geography. Internally, I was ranked in the Top 10 for all of my subjects at Sydney Grammar School and achieved the following HSC Marks: - English Advanced: 95/100 (Ranked 5th at SGS) - English Extension 1: 47/50 (Ranked 4th at SGS) - Maths Advanced: 96/100 - Maths Extension: 46/50 - Geography: 97/100 (9th in State) - Modern History: 93/100 - Economics: 93/100 Location: Zoom Primary Rate: $80/Hour Yr7-10 Rate: $80/Hour Yr11-12 Rate: $90/hour Group Rate: $55pp/hour for 2, $40pp/hour for 3, $35pp/hour for 4+ Experience: Over the past two years, I have privately tutored over 40 high school students between year 7-12 from schools including Sydney Grammar, Kambala, North Sydney Girls, Scots, Ascham, Sydney Boys, Reddam, PLC, Randwick High and more. Further, I have worked as a freelancer at 3 different tutoring companies over the past two years. Overall, I have completed in excess of 750 hours of tutoring and continue to improve with every extra hour. Aim of Tutoring: Put simply, the aim of my tutoring is to maximise marks, especially for Year 11 and 12 students. Importantly, my individual tutoring methods provide students with a platform from which they can ask questions 24/7 and gain a deeper understanding of their course material and further, the best way to apply their knowledge to questions. Additionally, I will go through the syllabus in absolute detail with my students whilst providing them notes and run them through extensive 20/20 essay plans. Moreover, having handed in a multitude of short answer sections and essays to my teachers in my senior years, I have gained a great understanding of HSC marking conventions and standards and thus, provide my students with thorough feedback on all their work. Most importantly, I know how stressful the senior years of high school can be with increasing workloads and extra curricular commitments. Whilst navigating my HSC, I learnt that the most crucial aspect of achieving excellent results in school and exams is not spending relentless hours reading over textbooks but instead, gaining an understanding of the most efficient and practical study techniques and strategies that purely maximise marks. It is this understanding that I wish to pass on to all of my students. ***Past Year 12 Student Feedback*** North Sydney Girls English Student's Mother: "XXXX is an all-rounder achiever!
