About

// 99.80 ATAR // PHYSICS, MATHS, GERMAN TUTORING // 4 YEARS EXPERIENCE // G’day! My name's Alex. I graduated from Trinity Grammar School in 2021 with a 99.80 ATAR and am currently studying a double degree in Mechanical Engineering and European Languages at Monash University on an Engineering Excellence Scholarship (one of only 10 awarded). Alongside my studies, I am a Propulsion Engineer with Monash High Powered Rocketry, a student rocketry engineering team at Monash University. In this role, I have worked on the design and testing of rocket propulsion systems, giving me hands-on experience with how the mathematics and physics taught in high school connect to real engineering situations. This practical perspective allows me to connect theory with real-world applications in a way students find engaging and motivating. As part of my European Languages major, I have studied German and Spanish to a high level at university, developing strong proficiency in both languages, particularly in grammar, written expression, and reading comprehension. Over the past four years as a tutor, I’ve helped dozens of students achieve their academic goals and have accumulated hundreds of hours of tutoring experience. I’m passionate about helping students build a strong foundation in core concepts, whether they’re working through homework, preparing for SACs, or targeting top exam results. I offer both in-person and online tutoring for students from Year 7 through to VCE, and I’m happy to travel to homes or meet at public libraries around Kew, Balwyn, and Box Hill. VCE Study Scores: English – 50 Physics – 49 (scaled 49) German – 43 (scaled 49) Mathematical Methods – 44 (scaled 48) Chemistry – 41 (scaled 44) Ancient History – 40 I’m highly motivated, organised, and genuinely enjoy helping students reach their full potential. I’d love to work with you to build confidence, understanding, and results!

Reviews

Alex was an amazing tutor over the two years that he tutored me. He tutored me for mathematical methods and is extremely brilliant and got me through the course. Alex was always responding to questions asked outside of tutoring sessions and was always willing to help, and I could not recommend him enough. Alex was great to work with, easy and flexible, and always reliable. 5 stars, could not have done the course without him.

Received tutoring from Alex in 2022, studying VCE physics and maths methods in year 12. Was very fortunate to have Alex as a tutor - generous with his time, explained things clearly and in a way that allowed me to apply it in exam and SAC scenarios. Focusing on making sure my understanding was sound, we never moved passed a practice question without reviewing and comparing our answer which I found very useful. Overall, was very happy and achieved much better scores in these subjects than expected. Thanks Alex!

Character references

Alex possesses not only a very broad vocabulary but also an extremely thorough knowledge of the grammar of the German language. His skills in listening, reading, writing and speaking are excellent. Alex is able to both express himself with accuracy and to convey to others with clarity rules behind lexical and grammatical choices in German. His patience, positivity, good humour and thoroughness will make him an outstanding tutor.

I taught Alex in his final year at Trinity Grammar for Mathematical Methods. During this period Alex proved to be an excellent student of mathematics. He demonstrated outstanding mathematical skills throughout the year and achieved results that reflected a mastery of the concepts taught. Alex was extremely hard working and organised, meeting all deadlines to the highest standard. He was able to solve complex mathematical problems involving areas such as calculus. His written skills reflected a sound understanding with the correct use of symbols and methodology. I strongly recommend Alex as an outstanding student of mathematics.
