99.95 ATAR | 99th Percentile (3390) UCAT | 900 Verbal Reasoning | School Dux Hi everyone! My name is Ella, and I graduated in 2022 as the Dux of my school with a 99.95 ATAR. I was also Dux of Year 12 English, English and Literature Extension, French and Chemistry (which I studied as an accelerated subject while in Year 11). I achieved a UCAT score in the high 99th percentile of 3390, with a perfect 900 in Verbal Reasoning. This year I am studying a Bachelor of Laws (Honours) with Provisional Entry to the Doctor of Medicine at the University of Queensland. I have tutored students in a variety of subjects since 2018, including providing additional support to disadvantaged and rural students during the Covid-19 lockdowns of 2020. I take a holistic approach by improving study habits, time management, translatable skills and balance in addition to a targeted and methodical academic focus. I strongly believe that performance correlates with confidence, and as a tutor, I aim to provide a safe and non-judgemental environment to acknowledge and tackle weaknesses. In 2024 I am not offering private tutoring, but will instead be offering small group masterclasses on internal assessments. These masterclasses will provide a comprehensive breakdown of each assessment item into segments, guiding students to produce structured, precise and concise work. I provide a personalised experience, with opportunities to receive tailored examples and feedback for each student despite the group setting. More details below: CHEMISTRY AND PHYSICS IA2 MASTERCLASS This masterclass should be taken shortly after receiving the assignment and preferably before beginning experimenting. Students will leave with: - Tailored scaffolding questions for writing theory in the rationale. - A scaffold for writing about the original experiment, modifications and theoretical relationship in the rationale. - A strong research question for their task. - A structure for writing modifications with reduced words. - A list of risks and mitigation strategies. - A list of data to collect during your experiment. - A sketched table for collecting raw data efficiently. - An understanding of the requirements for a table of sample calculations. - An understanding of the requirements for processed data. - An understanding of how to create a graph using Excel satisfying all the QCAA requirements. - A comprehensive list of scaffolding questions for analysis. - Justified extensions, redirections and refinements for their task. - A list of justified risks and mitigation strategies relevant to their task. - Three random and three systematic errors for their evaluation. - Logically derived improvements for their random and systematic errors. - Logically derived extensions with justifications. - A structure for writing a strong conclusion with minimal words. - Practice finding academic sources and tips for making a bibliography stand out. CHEMISTRY AND PHYSICS IA3 MASTERCLASS This masterclass should be taken shortly after receiving the assignment. Students will leave with: - An understand of the requirements for evidence for the research task. - Practice searching for and identifying academic sources. - Scaffolding questions tailored to their rationale. - Practice writing a specific and relevant research question. - A structure for a concise evidence section. - A comprehensive list of scaffolding questions for analysis. - A structure for a concise evaluation section. - A list of suggested points for evaluation. - A structure for a concise recommendations section. - An understanding of how to logically derive improvements and extensions. - A list of suggested improvements. - A list of suggested extensions. - A structure for writing a strong conclusion with minimal words. - Practice finding academic sources and tips for making a bibliography stand out. METHODS IA1 (PSMT) MASTERCLASS This masterclass should be taken shortly after receiving the assignment. - A strong introduction for their PSMT including context and aim. - An outline of their plan/mathematical procedures including technology, evaluation techniques and basic steps. - Five relevant and documented observations. - Five relevant and documented assumptions. - An understanding of the required mathematics and technology usage to get full marks. - A detailed scaffold and structure for the solve section of the PSMT. - Suggestions for strengths and weaknesses in the evaluation section. - A list of strengths and weaknesses tailored to their assumptions and observations, expected mathematical process and real-world factors. - A structure for a clear and concise conclusion. - An understanding of what needs referencing in a PSMT.
