About

99.95 ATAR | USYD MEDICINE | 45/45 IB (A/A) | Dux of Newington College | High Distinction WAM Hi, I’m Alex! I know firsthand that high school, especially the IB, can be both incredibly rewarding and seriously demanding. Between managing internal assessments, staying on top of a packed syllabus, and preparing for a multitude of exams, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. That’s where I come in. I’m here to help you study smarter, build confidence, and reach (or even exceed!) your academic goals. I graduated as Dux of Newington College with a perfect IB score of 45/45 (99.95 ATAR). I’m now studying Medicine (MD) at the University of Sydney, after completing a Bachelor of Science majoring in Immunology & Pathology and Philosophy, graduating with High Distinction. With over 800 hours of tutoring experience across more than four years, I’ve supported students through every stage of their high school and IB journey, and I’d love to help you too. 👨‍🎓 Subject tutoring: I tutor all high school years, including IB for Year 11 and Year 12. I offer support in the subjects I studied at Higher Level—where I achieved top scores of 7 in each—and I provide comprehensive guidance on the core components of Theory of Knowledge and the Extended Essay. I’m uniquely familiar with the syllabus requirements of all the subjects I tutor, so my lessons are focused, strategic, and aligned with what students need to succeed. ✅ Chemistry HL – (Paper 1, 36/40, Paper 2 83/90, Overall 88/100) ✅ English Language & Literature HL – (Paper 1 36/40, Overall 88/100) ✅ Philosophy HL – (Paper 2 AND IA: 23/25, Overall 86/100) ✔️Theory of Knowledge (TOK) – (27/30 with a 9/10 in my essay) ✔️Extended Essay (for Philosophy & English) – (EE Score 33/34) I also offer advice on exam techniques and consultations on subject selection. I have had students achieve 99.95 ATARs and band 7s across these subjects. 📄 Internal Assessments (IAs) & EEs: I provide proofreading and feedback services for IAs, TOK exhibitions & essays and Extended Essays. I can also help students strategically plan their IAs and brainstorm ideas. You don’t need to be an existing student of mine to send your work in for proofreading and feedback. Rates: - $90 per hour for 1-on-1 tutoring (limited availability) - From $100 per hour spent completing feedback on EE/IA/Assignment with verbal and written feedback (inquire now) Contact Details: Please do not hesitate to contact me with any potential inquiries or questions. Further details: - I tutor online via Zoom or any preferred platform - I have a valid ‘Working with Children Check’ (NSW government approved) and experience in tutoring and debating programs within public and private school settings.

Reviews

Alex is an excellent tutor, who is well-organised and thoughtfully prepares lessons in advance, sets homework including books for reading, all of which is checked on a weekly basis. He is happy to review test/Naplan results for a tailored approach to tutoring. We are very lucky to have him teach our son!

This year, I had the privilege of being tutored by Alex. His personalized approach and insightful feedback not only boosted my essay skills but also instilled the confidence needed for the English exam. Without Alex's mentorship, achieving the score I did would not have been possible. I am super grateful for his guidance.
