📝Lesson structure:
My lessons are very student-specific, so I’ll constantly tailor them to suit your needs. This often includes going through the syllabus content at whatever pace you need at the time - whether that’s behind school for revision, same as school for extension, or ahead of school for preparation. Closer to exams, I’ll get you to do practice questions and past papers and thoroughly review them with you to help develop your exam technique. I can also go over any school hw or assessments, and you can ask me questions anytime. All lesson are held online via Zoom as this has the best flexibility for students and saves travel time, while the lesson content is the same as in person.
Throughout all lessons, I’ll share my tips and tricks to help you both understand the subject and then apply that knowledge in exams to get high marks, and also pinpoint specific areas of improvement so we can address them :) I aim to teach in a creative and fun way, with lots of creative analogies, so you remember content and enjoy learning!

✅Student reviews:
"I really like the way Naomi sets out her lessons, they are very organised and easy to follow. I really liked the use of ‘one note’ to teach as it made all the learning and content clear to see and understand. I also really like Naomi’s way of explaining content and her unique strategies to grasp a hold of difficult content, they personally really helped me. Naomi also gives exemplar responses and notes as a guide to follow and structure answers in exams and thoroughly goes through any doubts you have in past papers you have done. Not only that but Naomi also makes lessons entertaining and you can tell she puts in a lot of effort and care for you!" - NSG student '22
"Naomi is an excellent tutor who is able to explain complex concepts in a way which makes them really simple to understand. Her engaging way of teaching makes lessons enjoyable which helps a lot with learning the content. She is also super friendly and gives useful advice for the subject itself and for approaching exams in general. Taking lessons with her throughout the year has enabled me to improve and perform my best for both school assessments and the HSC." - NSG student '22
"Naomi really explained chem ideas in a detailed and simple manner that made it easier to remember hard concepts. she always teaches with enthusiasm and i’ve always enjoyed lessons with her :)" - NSG student '22

Reviews
I would definitely recommend Naomi to another student as she was one of the best tutors I've had, and not only taught the content well in a manner that was easy to understand and recall, but also helped me with my exam technique and answering questions in a way that could maximise my marks. Having 1:1 lessons was extremely helpful to me as the lessons were structured such that less time could be spent on topics I found easy to understand, allowing more time for me to fully understand concepts that were personally difficult to grasp. She encouraged my curiosity and allowed me the time to make links between the content in the syllabus and my prior knowledge to gain a more holistic understanding of the subject, and provided many helpful and comprehensive resources and notes throughout the year. I truly enjoyed every lesson I had with her :)

Naomi is honestly one of the best tutors I have ever had <3333. I decided to pursue biology tutoring mid year 12 in order to improve my rank, and honestly Naomi quite literally saved my biology HSC. I went from below average in the grade (below rank 30) to rank 5 in our year 12 biology trial examination. She has a super unique teaching style which is super engaging and made me understand really difficult concepts in an easy and fun way. Her notes are also incredibly detailed (and super helpful) and above all she is just such a bubbly tutor, making every session enjoyable :DDD

Naomi was a great teacher who helped me understand my bio concepts a lot better through our stories which help a lot with memorising. At the same time she is also a very nice person and great to learn from given her own exceptional achievements.

Naomi has tutored our daughter in Year 12 Extension 2 Maths and has done an excellent job. Naomi's passion for and understanding of this subject is strong and she has been able to successfully impart this on our daughter. Our daughter found Naomi to be relatable and pro-active and willing to spend time working together to make sure she properly understood things. We would strongly recommend Naomi and can attest for her capabilities as a teacher.
