99.90 ATAR | 3rd in NSW Ancient His, 7th in Modern | 96 EngAdv | *Online Tutoring* Hello there! My name is Luke and I graduated as Dux of St. Aloysius' College, Sydney in 2022. I have been tutoring since then, with many of my students performing excellently in the 2023 HSC – achieving high Band 6s. I am a consummate humanities buff, and I did as much History and Latin as was humanly possible during my HSC. I also loved it, coming first in all of my subjects bar one (2nd in English!!) You can see my marks below! I found the key to my success during my whole time at school was developing a genuine passion for my subjects – how else could I survive? Moreover, I realised that I was able to develop this passion through utilising smart study skills. I would dislike a subject when I felt out of my depth and nervous. Hence, as I grew in proficiency in my subjects, I began to enjoy them more. I believe I can help you develop in confidence and become truly passionate about the subjects you study at school! Like you probably are too, I was also really busy during my time at school with co-curricular and the rest of it – alongside my School Captaincy, I was involved in a variety of activities such as drama and cadets (Company Commander). Therefore, I also learnt how to manage my very limited (and very valuable) time to maximise results without sacrificing the truly enjoyable, social parts of school life. I want to help you study smarter too, so you can make the most of all the amazing opportunities high school offers without sacrificing your academics along the way. I have listed the texts/units I studied for each of my subjects for my HSC at the bottom, but I am not limited to these units of study and can present holistic knowledge of all my subject areas, especially as regards essay writing skills. In one-on-one settings I can assist in creating achievable study goals, revising course content and homework, and reviewing written work. I will do Zoom tutoring online. I am completing an LLB (Hons)/Arts degree at the Australian National University in Canberra. I'm studying history and philosophy, among other subjects, as part of my Arts degree, developing high order skills to help you perform. ✅ Working With Children Check 📖HSC UNITS AND TEXTS 📖 English Advanced: Common – The Merchant of Venice (Shakespeare); ModA – Poetry of John Keats and Jane Campion's Bright Star (2009); ModB – An Artist of the Floating World (Ishiguro); ModC – Variety.
