Iโ€™ll cut right into it, because your time is important. How passionately does your child want to study Medicine? When I first started preparing for my Y11 Preliminary and Y12 HSC exams, I believed a high ATAR was all that I needed to enter the medical course of my dreams. The result? Countless hours studying. Revising until midnight. Completing mock examination after mock examination, past papers piling up in the corner of my room. While this hard work brought me to succeed both internally (top 5 ranks in James Ruse assessment tasks) and externally (a top 0.25% ATAR in the nation), only by the middle of year 11 did I realise that current medical schools do not value one dimensional students who โ€œonly know how to studyโ€. They value All Rounders who, while being competent in academics, have a wealth of extracurricular achievements as well as unique life experiences. ๐—ง๐—ต๐—ฒ๐˜† ๐˜„๐—ฎ๐—ป๐˜ ๐—ด๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜‚๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ฒ ๐—ฐ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฑ๐—ถ๐—ฑ๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ฒ๐˜€. So I changed my approach. I became the President of the James Ruse SRC in year 11. I became a School Prefect in year 12. I attended Yale University for a competitive summer school program. I was invited to become a public speaking ambassador for Harvard University. I volunteered in rural and homeless areas. I grew my personal educational study channel, a passion project of mine, to 1M+ views. And as I continued branching out, I found myself being nominated as a Finalist for the prestigious Australian Young Citizen of the Year award! ๐—œ ๐—ฏ๐—ฒ๐—ฐ๐—ฎ๐—บ๐—ฒ ๐—ผ๐—ป๐—ฒ ๐—ผ๐—ณ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—บ๐—ผ๐˜€๐˜ ๐˜‚๐—ป๐—ถ๐—พ๐˜‚๐—ฒ ๐—ฐ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฑ๐—ถ๐—ฑ๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ฒ๐˜€ ๐—ฎ ๐— ๐—ฒ๐—ฑ๐—ถ๐—ฐ๐—ฎ๐—น ๐˜€๐—ฐ๐—ต๐—ผ๐—ผ๐—น ๐˜„๐—ผ๐˜‚๐—น๐—ฑ ๐—ฒ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ ๐—ณ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ฑ.

Now, I know what youโ€™re thinking. โ€œHow did you possibly achieve all this during your final years of high school?" "How did you receive a top ATAR and a top UCAT and 9+ Medical interview offers while sacrificing the time others would use to study?" And I would always reply with the same answer. ๐—ฆ๐˜๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ด๐˜†. In my opinion, the ATAR is the easiest hurdle to overcome, and I am highly confident that as long as your child is passionate, regardless of initial skill, I can tutor them to excel in mathematics and science, achieving 95+ individual HSC scores and a high 99+ ATAR. I am an experienced James Ruse Study Group Leader of over 30 high achieving students (nearly all of which achieved a high 99+ ATAR) and will use similar teaching techniques to guide your child to success, including: ๐ŸŒฑ Accelerated learning grounded from first principles ๐ŸŒฑ A personalized learning syllabus, unique to each student ๐ŸŒฑ Access to my extensive bank of resources (including state rank resources) ๐ŸŒฑ Free 24/7 outside of lesson support and feedback ๐ŸŒฑ Regular homework checks ๐ŸŒฑ Any other individual requests ๐—›๐—ผ๐˜„๐—ฒ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—›๐—ฆ๐—– ๐—ถ๐˜€ ๐—ฑ๐—ถ๐—ณ๐—ณ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜ ๐—ป๐—ผ๐˜„, ๐˜€๐—ผ ๐—ฏ๐—ฒ๐˜†๐—ผ๐—ป๐—ฑ ๐—ฎ๐—ฐ๐—ฎ๐—ฑ๐—ฒ๐—บ๐—ถ๐—ฐ ๐—บ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐˜€๐—ต๐—ถ๐—ฝ, ๐—œ ๐˜„๐—ถ๐—น๐—น ๐—ฏ๐—ฒ ๐—ฝ๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐˜ƒ๐—ถ๐—ฑ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—ฎ ๐˜€๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐˜ƒ๐—ถ๐—ฐ๐—ฒ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜ ๐—ป๐—ผ ๐—ผ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—ฟ ๐˜๐˜‚๐˜๐—ผ๐—ฟ ๐—ฝ๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐˜ƒ๐—ถ๐—ฑ๐—ฒ๐˜€ ๐—ผ๐—ป ๐˜๐—ต๐—ถ๐˜€ ๐—ฝ๐—น๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ณ๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—บ. While focusing purely on academics will compromise your childโ€™s chances at success, rushing blindly into extracurriculars is counterproductive. This is why corresponding to your childโ€™s dream Medical university, I will suggest cocurricular/extracurricular experiences and strategies to best tailor them into an optimal Medical candidate. My first lesson with your child will be a consultation where we can establish a strategic roadmap for the upcoming year, charting not only academic outcomes (so that they will know exactly what to expect in terms of progress) but seasonal extracurricular activities and opportunities which will be personalized to their strengths, interests, and past experiences. I have a wealth of unique experiences and an exclusive bank of opportunities (the very opportunities which elevated me to being nominated as a Finalist for the prestigious Australian Young Citizen of the Year award), and am confident I can help passionate students achieve similarly. I also keep my students accountable in terms of the UCAT, a necessary make-or-break examination for students aspiring to enter medical school, and will share all my experiences in terms of sitting this exam and navigating application procedures, which may be quite daunting to unfamiliar students. ๐ŸŒฑ๐—ฆ๐˜‚๐—ฏ๐—ท๐—ฒ๐—ฐ๐˜๐˜€ ๐—œ ๐—ผ๐—ณ๐—ณ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ ๐ŸŒฑ Y12: 2U Mathematics 3U Mathematics 4U Mathematics 2U Physics 2U Chemistry *UCAT *Medical interview training Y11: 2U Mathematics 3U Mathematics 2U Physics 2U Chemistry *UCAT *Medical interview training *UCAT and Medical Interview tutoring will be integrated in my tuition schedule Y10: I will consider accelerated students for Mathematics/Science and general Medical preparation (this is the path I personally took, and strongly recommend this option as time is the most important factor in senior years).

As a year 9 student at JRAHS, I found study sessions with Joshua Hong very helpful. His tutoring was very effective, helped boost my foundation, and covered gaps that other tutorings could not. The sessions were very interactive and specialized for my level of learning. I believe he is one of the best private tutors I have ever had.

Joshua is by far and wide the most talented student iโ€™ve taught, almost wholly a result of his absolute dedication and hard work towards understanding the HSC mathematics syllabus and its direct application to the actual examination questions in the fullest detail. When having to deal with the difficult and exhausting content matter of the HSC, having Joshua as a tutor will make the path forwards clear, as he is capable of explaining even the most difficult of concepts in a way that is easily and engagingly digestible. His experience and thought process allows the breakdown of questions that would be simply confusing without proper guidance. With his personal experience on knowing exactly what steps to take and precisely what knowledge and exam technique needs to be perfected to always be amongst the highest performing student across all subjects in the James Ruse cohort, I am confident that Joshua will be able to guide your son/daughter to have their examination marks and school ranks skyrocket. Finally, he is engaging, endlessly patient with an incomparable work ethic and I would feel rest assured placing my trust in choosing Joshua as a HSC tutor.

Joshua Hong is an extremely talented student who has a prodigious ability to explain and convey complex concepts much above his age-level. Additionally, his tendency to explore ideas to the deepest levels means he has a thorough understanding of these ideas. I believe for these reasons that he would undoubtedly be a great tutor.

Joshua is an excellent tutor who is able to teach complex concepts in thoughtful and innovative ways. His strong understanding of exam questions in a wide range of subjects in Year 11 and Year 12 (such as Physics, Chemistry and Extension 1 & 2 Mathematics) gives his students insight into answering questions clearly and concisely. Hence, Joshua is definitely a tutor to consider.

By Edison Huang on 21st November 2022
Im in year 9 and for two years I struggled but then after doing a online 1 on 1 lesson with Josh, I was able to go over all of my fundamentals again and I could see that my results had greatly improved. He used various methods that which really helped me learn and absorb the information. I really recommend learning from him as he has greatly helped me improve my grades.
