I graduated from Meriden in 2022, with an ATAR of 99.95, placing first in NSW for Science Extension, and with high band 6s/e4s across all 7 of my subjects. I am currently studying a B Advanced Computing/Science degree at the University of Sydney as a Science Top of the State and Chancellor’s Scholar, where I maintain an HD WAM across a mix of maths, computer science and physics units. Given my focus on science and maths in my undergraduate studies, I am excited about sharing my knowledge and fostering a deeper understanding of course content with my students. Since graduating, I have taught over 50 students in both private and class settings, accruing many, many hours of tutoring experience. I’ve worked with students from schools including North Sydney Boys, James Ruse, North Sydney Girls, Cranbrook, Pymble Ladies, Sydney Grammar, King’s, Baulkham Hills, Reddam, and Meriden. [𝗦𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘀] In 2023, - 100% of HSC Physics students achieved a Band 6 - Over 70% of HSC students achieved a 99+ ATAR - Over 70% of HSC Maths Extension 1 students achieved an E4 - HSC students ranked top 10 internally for HSC Maths and Physics - Year 11 students ranked within the top 3 for Physics - Year 11 students ranked within the top 10 for Maths - Year 11 students ranked within the top 10 for Chemistry - Outstanding results for Junior Maths and Science students in School exams and External Competitions (Olympiads, ICAS, AMC, etc.) [𝗦𝘂𝗯𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁𝘀 𝗜 𝘁𝘂𝘁𝗼𝗿] I am offering private and group tuition in Maths and the Sciences, which were the courses I enjoyed most at school and continue to study at uni.

Further, I am always just a text or call away if you need help throughout the week. * 𝗜𝗻𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗿𝘆-𝗯𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘂𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁 * In our lessons, I focus on building my students’ confidence and expertise from first-principles; together with conscientious support, I am confident that students can eventually extrapolate their understanding to dissect even the most demanding questions (and of course, come up with questions of their own we can explore together!). * 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗼𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗮 𝗯𝗿𝗼𝗮𝗱 𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗾𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀, 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗲𝘁𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 * I hope to prepare students for the changing landscape of science and maths exams by providing them with challenging and interesting problems, priming them to break down any question they are presented with. * 𝗘𝗺𝗽𝗵𝗮𝘀𝗶𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗶𝗻 𝘀𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝘀𝘂𝗯𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁𝘀 * 'Working scientifically' is a frequently overlooked portion of HSC Physics and Chemistry; I will be incorporating the higher-level scientific thinking I acquired through the HSC Science Extension course in each of the science lessons I deliver, encouraging students to make connections beyond the distinct modules and establish their own complex understanding of syllabus content.
