Tutoring near Preston, Melbourne, VIC


About

Hey, I'm Violet and this is my third year of tutoring high school students. I tutor VCE Maths Methods and VCE Physics as well as year 10 maths. I tutor in a way that allows the student to take initiative and focus on the areas they believe they need to work on. I like to emphasise that I am not a teacher but a tutor, I am just one of the many resources students have at their disposal and it is up to them to get the most out of our sessions. I encourage students to come to me with any exercise questions they get wrong, content they don't understand, practice exams/tests they would like to look through or any assessments from class where they don't understand where they made a mistake. Furthermore, succeeding in maths and physics is not just about being able to do everything by hand and from memory, it's also about knowing how to best use your calculator and formula sheet to your advantage so I make sure to include it in our sessions. I graduated in 2021 with an ATAR of 98.70 and four 40+ raw study scores, including 45 in Maths Methods and 41 in Physics. I was also the dux of my school and received the academic achievement award in all my VCE subjects. I am now studying a Bachelor of Science (Physics Major) and a concurrent Diploma in Mathematical Sciences (Applied Maths Specialisation) at Melbourne University. My availability is fairly limited due to a busy (and often changing) university schedule. I'm looking to take on student who wants fortnightly tutoring sessions on Sundays from 11am - 12pm at Preston library. In future years, the frequency of sessions can be increased. On average, I charge $60 per hour but this will vary depending on if you choose individual or pair sessions. I look forward to hearing from you!

Reviews

I was so lucky to have Violet as my tutor in year 12 last year for methods and physics. She has so much knowledge about maths and physics and can convey it in a super understandable and clear way. She also has lots of good tips for exam prep and CAS skills etc. When I started I was struggling so much with methods and about to drop the subject but I managed to get a score that I am very proud of with her help. Strongly recommend!!
