About

πŸŽ“ EXPERIENCED PRIVATE TUTOR (4+ YEARS) | 500+ HOURS TAUGHT | HSC SPECIALIST | LAW CLERK AT KING & WOOD MALLESONS My name is Tania and I am a final-year university student studying a double degree in Law and Advanced Science (Honours) (Major in Neuroscience) at the University of New South Wales. I graduated with a 97.60 ATAR and achieved a 97th percentile ranking in the UNSW Law Admissions Test (LAT). Combining the disciplines of law and neuroscience has enabled me to be extensively involved in both the humanities and sciences throughout my university studies. Over the past 4+ years, I have provided 500+ hours of personalised tutoring in English Advanced, Mathematics Extension 1, and Chemistry. My students have gone on to achieve 99+ ATARs, Band 5/6 HSC results, and university scholarships. I provide specialised tutoring that enables students to excel while building strong academic foundations. I have high-quality resources, notes, and curated past paper questions to ensure students develop a thorough understanding of key concepts and refine their exam technique through effective consolidation. My focus is not only on improving marks, but on shaping the way students think: strengthening their analytical skills, problem-solving ability, structured thinking, and academic confidence. I aim to cultivate curiosity and a genuine interest in what students are studying, ultimately empowering them to feel both capable and engaged. I have also delivered specialised HSC English workshops in schools through Elevate Education. Through this experience, I developed a strong understanding of the HSC syllabus, marking criteria, and the strategies that differentiate Band 6 responses. In addition, my broader teaching experience includes piano and swim coaching, allowing me to adapt my teaching style to different learning needs and personalities. I am also an active facilitator and judge with UN Youth and the UNSW Law Society, where students participate in competitions designed to develop diplomacy, teamwork, debating, public speaking, problem-solving, critical thinking, and leadership skills. For students looking to sit the LAT for UNSW Law, I offer targeted preparation sessions focused on analytical reasoning and crafting high-quality written responses. πŸ“Online tutoring only Subjects offered: β€’ Year 12: English Advanced, Mathematics Advanced, Modern History, Chemistry β€’ Year 11: English Advanced, Mathematics Advanced, Modern History, Chemistry β€’ Year 7–10: English, Mathematics, Science, History Rates: β€’ $100/hr – Individual sessions β€’ $60/hr – Group sessions (minimum 2 students) Please feel free to reach out with any further questions.

Reviews

Tania has been a reliable and helpful part of my high school education. She has constantly given me great feedback and helped me understand difficult math topics. She helped me improve so much in preparation for my HSC. I highly recommend her as a tutor!

Tania taught me for English for 3 years, up until I finished my year 12 studies. She has helped me develop greater English writing skills over the course of these years, transforming my English skills to an exemplary level. As a result of Tania's tutoring, I was able to utilize the skills she taught me across many of subjects, allowing me to write clear and concisely in all my subjects. Tania also offered help outside of tutoring lessons, providing guidance to my work and providing key feedback that overall boosted my understanding of my work. Overall, Tania was an amazing tutor who has watched me transform my writing skills into band 6 writing for my HSC.

Such a lovely tutor, easy to speak to and really helped me improve in English this year. Wonderful at catering to my needs for lessons and providing great feedback which I could use to improve my essays and other work.

Tania is a great chemistry tutor. Her explanations of concepts and ideas were easy to understand and were also detailed. There were topics that I couldn't understand when explained at school but when she explained it I was able to understand it. Would highly recommend Tania.

Tania's approach to tutoring is an effective balance between patience and discipline. She pushes her students to stretch themselves beyond their current capabilities while also acting as a strong mentor figure, guiding them to the best resources and sources of practice. I couldn't recommend her more.
