Hi, I'm Donovan! :D
I graduated with an ATAR of 99.25, the top 0.75th percentile! I graduated in 2022 as part of the Top 5 from East Doncaster Secondary College in 2022, and I bring a highly personalised, flexible, and responsive tutoring experience, including:

- 247 text for fast and consistent communication
- Flexibility to extend sessions until all questions are fully answered
==MY SCORES==
I achieved a 48 study score for General Maths with an average of 99% across all my SACs, which ultimately placed me in the TOP 0.6% of students in Victoria for General Maths 3/4.
I received 44+ in my other subjects, placing me in the top 2% of students at my school and Victoria:
Accounting 3/4 = 44SS
Biology 3/4 = 45SS
Chemistry 3/4 = 46SS
English = 45SS
I offer to tutor for Units 1/2 and 3/4 for these subjects. I share my success through precise, unequivocal explanations and easy-to-follow strategies aimed to revolutionise your approach to all of your exams. I will teach you techniques and tips to improve your performance, enhance your studying efficiency and ultimately transform your study score.
Moreover, I also offer guidance in English, Maths and Science for Years 7-10.

=MY TEACHING STYLE=
My teaching style varies with each student to cater to their learning style. After all, having journeyed through the whole 6 years in high school, I’ve experienced how teachers need to match a wide range of students, therefore, I understand the explanations, examples, and teaching styles are not specific to a student’s needs at school. However, I am here FOR YOU, I know how important it was for me to do well as it was my VCE, so I can share the same adrenaline, anxiety and nerves that you do. I will put in the same effort into your studies as I did into my own because I understand how important this year is for you (your parents or your dream university). I work very student-oriented, as you can tell, but if you have no specific requests, our sessions may often follow this structure:
1. Catchup with any questions you have from school
2. Start a new topic from a broad PowerPoint overview
3. Highly detailed notes covering all of the content
4. Personally developed exercise questions
5. Challenging exam-style questions to help you answer questions that will trip most and even high-achieving students
6. Q&A for any questions throughout
7. Tips for exams and SACs for the topic
However, this is only one of the many ways we can approach sessions, and it's all up to you if there is another method more suited to your learning needs.
I know how important this year is for you, so I am dedicating my time to you. I am here to see you succeed, share some tips on what I felt helped me achieve my scores, and share the things I should have done but realised too late. So my role is not so much strictly as a tutor but, in addition, as your personal VCE/high school counsellor!! :P
=SUMMARY=
I offer private and group tutoring for:
- Year 7-10 Maths, English and Science
- VCE Units 1/2 and 3/4 for Accounting, Biology, Chemistry, English and General Maths.
