About

* 2 State Ranks * 99 ATAR * Sydney Grammar School * Hi I'm Akshay! I graduated in 2021 from Sydney Grammar School with an ATAR of 99 and achieved State Ranks in Italian Continuers (3rd in NSW) and Italian Extension (5th in NSW). I am currently studying a Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Laws double degree at the University of New South Wales. I am incredibly passionate about learning languages and I hope to share that passion with you. At the HSC I received the following marks in modern languages: Italian Continuers: 99/100 Italian Extension: 48/50 French Continuers: 98/100 French Extension: 47/50 My teaching style comprises a strong balance between learning the intricacies of a foreign language and an understanding of how to achieve the top marks. With access to exemplar responses, school and individual notes as well as a considerable bank of practice questions I am confident I can provide relaxed, engaging and informative sessions to help you improve. Having personally juggled a vast number of commitments throughout high school, including high-level sport, music, debating, leadership roles and study, I understand the need for effective time management skills to succeed. To that end, my lessons will target the key areas for improvement to reduce the stress of studying. Given that learning a language is quite unlike any other HSC area of study, I will pass on effective study techniques tailored to maximising marks in this unique field which worked for me and continue to do so as I am studying Spanish at university. My sessions will take place online but I am happy to discuss in-person sessions on an individual basis. I will also be available 24/7 to respond to any questions that arise. If you are interested or have any questions please don't hesitate to send me a message!
