About

๐ŸŒŸ Highly experienced tutor | 99.50 ATAR | English, Physics, Biology, Chemistry, Math Methods ๐Ÿš€ Hey there! Iโ€™m Lachie and I'm an undergraduate psychology and economics student at Monash University. I'm passionate about the science of learning and memory, and I specialise in science tutoring and study skills coaching. Whether youโ€™re finding your subjects difficult or needing an extra challenge, Iโ€™ll be more than happy to help! Please read on below for more details on my three-staged approach to tutoring. 1. Consolidating. Knowledge in science and maths is layered, with each concept resting on the previous one. First, we'll revise 2024's material so that you have a strong foundation for 2025. 2. Skill-building. Hard work does matter, but it's not always about studying more. I teach proven techniques to help you make the most of your time. 3. Accelerating. With a strong base of knowledge and study skills, we'll start on next year's content, giving you a head start for 2025. For any of the subjects I offer, youโ€™ll also gain exclusive access to detailed resource banks, so that you have everything you need to excel in 2025. ๐Ÿ“– Lesson offerings ๐ŸŽ“ * Online or in-person, whichever is most convenient for you. ๐Ÿ’ป๐Ÿซ * Private lessons are personalised to your needs, helping you to master the concepts you find most challenging. ๐Ÿง  * Small group sessions (running for physics and biology) with your friends to focus on consolidation, providing you with the skills you need to tackle difficult exam questions. ๐Ÿ‘ฅ * Study checkups, helping you to hone your study skills and design a strategy for revision. ๐Ÿ“ ๐Ÿ›  Extra support and resources * 24/7 support to answer any and all questions between sessions. ๐Ÿ“ฒ * Comprehensive and detailed notes covering the entire course. ๐Ÿ“š * Extensive banks of exam and SAC questions, organised by topic. ๐Ÿ“Š * Personalised practice questions to target your weaknesses and turn them into strengths. ๐Ÿ’ช My experience. * Over 500 hours of tutoring experience. โฐ * A 99.50 ATAR. ๐Ÿ“š * Raw 49 in physics (top 1% of the state). ๐Ÿš€ * Raw 45 in Biology, raw 45 in Chemistry (top 2% of the state). ๐Ÿ”ฌ๐Ÿงฌ * Raw 43 in math methods. * First Class Honours at Monash University, including Physics, Biology, Maths, and Psychology. ๐ŸŽ“ * Current Working with Children Check. โœ… ๐Ÿ—“ Scheduling a lesson Feel free to use the message button to contact me.

Reviews

Very adaptable with combining provided resources and exams/SACs/worksheets from school. Also super patient with revision but actually gets you somewhere even if Physics isnโ€™t your strong suit (personal experience). Doesnโ€™t make you feel like โ€˜ugh I have tutoringโ€™, I actually enjoyed the lessons. Plus really smart and easy to communicate with.

Lachlan has tutored my son Luke throughout 2023. At the start of the year Luke had poor results in Physics and Chemistry. We needed to find the perfect tutor to bring him up to VCE level. That perfect tutor was Lachlan. By the time Luke sat his VCE exams, Physics was his best subject. Lachlan is calm, flexible and gracious. He tutored according to Lukeโ€™s preference and was always available to help with difficult questions. He absolutely got the job done and I canโ€™t recommend him highly enough.
