Hi! I'm Nick Nguyen, and I recently graduated in 2022 from Trinity Grammar School, completing the International Baccalaureate. I achieved a perfect IB score of 45, with an AA in TOK and EE, gaining a further adjusted IB Admissions Score (IBAS) of 45.50, equating to a 99.95 ATAR. I am currently a medical student studying medicine (BMed/MD) at UNSW and received offers from multiple other universities, both within NSW and interstate. I have developed a lot as a tutor over 5 years of experience, devising and improving efficient strategies to achieve optimal learning and results for my students. For example, an English Lang/Lit student of mine recently achieved an extremely high score of 93/100 in the recent November 2025 exams, notably with a 20/20 in the hand-in HL essay, which we'd prepared.

Free Trial:
Prior to commencing formal tutoring, I offer a complimentary consultation. This consultation provides an opportunity for us to discuss your academic goals, identify areas for improvement, and outline how I can best support your learning. It also allows you to gain insight into my teaching approach and determine whether it aligns with your needs before making any commitment.
Given updated syllabi, I have consistently upskilled to master and teach students the new course demands and other courses. Recognise that I have, at minimum, 3 years' tutoring experience with all subjects I tutor, and results to back them up.
My Philosophy:
Throughout school, I wasn't a kid who always thought I could be at or even near the top, and I always felt like there was a ceiling on my capabilities. However, with the right people around me, I surprised myself when I launched into the top 5 of my cohort, and once I knew I could do it, I stopped comparing myself to the average and instead focused on the top and my own continuous improvement. This is what I instil in my students; it's often hard to love or even like your subjects, but I teach my students the ways to save time and get top marks so that they can love the success instead! The IB is tough, but I save my students a lot of time teaching them exactly what to do and how to do it, especially with assignments, enabling them to hit higher bands and keep time for other subjects and hobbies. I've guided and mentored students with all different levels of motivation and prior skills, especially very distracted and lost students, tailoring my approach to each student to meet individual requirements and also build lasting rapport. I've even brought students to my university to enlighten them on what they're working hard for, as I believe in working with each student as a whole person to achieve what they truly want! I am committed to always improving my skills and re-evaluating my approaches to prepare students for the changing IB landscape.
I provide tutoring for all subjects listed below, achieving a Band 7 myself and for many of my past students in those listed:
English Literature HL
English Language and Literature HL
German B SL and German B Ab Initio SL
Economics SL and HL
Business Management HL
Sports Exercise and Health Science HL
Mathematics AA SL and Mathematics AI SL
Extended Essay in the subject of English - Grade A
Theory of Knowledge - Grade A
For younger students (Years 7-10): I offer tutoring for Maths, Science, and English, alongside video essay and general essay writing (e.g. History, Geography). I have ample experience in assisting students in younger years to root out problems early and build strong foundations before they enter the HSC or IB. I believe that the earlier years are critical, where seemingly minor efforts and changes can make pivotal improvements to a student’s long-term trajectory.
Proofreading and marking for IAs, EEs, and TOK Essays are charged at variable rates. For my students, I can generally do this free of extra charge.
Please feel free to contact me for questions and support! Happy to do initial free consults.

Nick began tutoring me at the end of Year 11 of my IB Diploma when I was struggling with German. He also helped with English and TOK, tailoring his teaching approach to suit my learning style, making every lesson productive. He taught me essential IB skills, including exam strategies and study technique, and motivated me to excel with his encouraging and positive attitude. Thanks to his support, I improved from scoring around 36/45 in my school reports to achieving a 42.25 overall score. I would highly recommend Nick to anyone seeking excellent IB tutoring.

I started tutoring with Nick in Year 8 when I was averaging C grades. With his help, I steadily improved throughout high school. During the IB, Nick provided excellent resources, clear explanations, and constant support, which made a huge difference. He is extremely dedicated and always wants the best for his students. Thanks to Nick’s guidance, I achieved an ATAR of 94.75. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to improve their results.

Nick tutored me throughout the IB for two years, mainly in Economics, English, German, and Business, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better tutor. He explains things in a really clear, practical way and always made difficult content feel manageable. Nick was especially helpful with exam technique and understanding what IB markers actually want, which made a huge difference to my confidence. Thanks to his support, I finished the IB with a 42.75 overall score, and I’d highly recommend him to anyone looking for high-quality IB tutoring.

Nick has been an outstanding tutor who's supported me greatly as a student. He is highly skilled in a range of subjects, and definitely cares a lot about seeing not only my marks but my abilities grow. Especially in Maths, Nick managed to take me from a C- to an A grade within just one semester. He does a lot of work outside of lessons to provide ongoing support, and I really appreciate that he provides answers with instructions for all the questions that he lets me send him throughout the week. I don't know where I'd be without him. Thanks heaps Nick!!
