98.95 ATAR Medical Student Tutoring Chemistry and Mathematics Between Years 7-12 in Adelaide. Hi there! My name is Jacob Collins Hall, and I am a fourth-year student at the University of Adelaide, studying the Bachelor of Medical Studies / Doctor of Medicine programme. I graduated Ocean View College in 2022 as school dux and head prefect. Additionally, I received a Governor's Award (1 of 36 in SA for 2022) for research regarding hydrogels and regularly tutoring peers in Mathematical Methods. Importantly, I have a WWCC and am first-aid qualified. My Stage 2 SACE Grades: • Research Project (A+ (9.40)) • English (A (18.30)) • Mathematical Methods (A+ (19.50)) • Chemistry (A+ (19.80)) • Human Anatomy and Physiology IA/IB (HD (20.00)) I am thoroughly passionate about tutoring, as I recognise that sometimes all a student needs is some 1-on-1 learning with a teacher to deepen their knowledge considerably. This leads to improved educational outcomes, which lend themselves to beneficial life outcomes. I am patient and understanding with pupils, and work to establish personal connections with them, as to make the learning experience more hospitable. I believe in foundational learning, which involves ensuring a student has mastered prior content before attempting to learn new material. I have previously demonstrated this techniques' efficacy - for example, teaching a classmate about factorising before moving to derivatives and locating stationary points (SACE Stg 1 Methods). My session lengths are between 1-2 hours, as I find this reaches the best balance between focus and having enough time to genuinely learn. I conduct sessions either online (webcam) or in-person, at the State Library.
