2nd year Medical Student | IB 44 (ATAR 99.75) | EXPERIENCED IB TUTOR | 5 years+ teaching |
Hi there! My name is Arya T and I graduated in 2020 within the top 10 graduates from the highly competitive Queensland Academy for Science, Mathematics, and Technology (QASMT) and from the Bachelor of Medical Science in 2022 with Distinction (GPA of 7.0/7.0). Currently, I am studying Medicine at Griffith University through the provisional pathway (ATAR only; no UCAT needed).
Why me?
My philosophy towards learning is to instill understanding rather than memorisation when studying. Those mid-exam mind blanks - they'll be a thing of the past now! With this mindset, I have been able to perform strongly in all academic areas. The following are subjects that I offer for tutoring (all have been high 7s):
- Chemistry (IB SL/HL, ATAR)
- Biology (IB SL/HL, ATAR)
- Business (IB SL/HL, ATAR)
- TOK/EE (IB only)
- Internal Assignments (IB + ATAR)
With this philosophy, my strong academic and scientific background, and my extensive tutoring experience, I can assure that the skills and teaching style I use will ensure improvement and long-term learning in you.
My offer to you:
We have all had teachers, tutors, you name it who do nothing but read off a PowerPoint presentation that frankly we could have done ourselves. Where is the teaching you ask with disappointment and frustration? Trust me, it happens everywhere.
I have experienced the negative impacts an unsupportive and unskilled teacher can have on our grades. With that in mind, I will ensure that you LEARN from my lessons and take away a feeling of satisfaction rather than disappointment. Sounds good? It only gets better :)
PowerPoint slides aren't the most fun way to learn and so I always draw out and create interactive lessons to ensure engagement and learning. I understand that each student learns differently from one another as we all are individual learners of course. As such, I always make sure to recognise the various learning methods (drawing, mind maps, mnemonics, songs etc) that work the best for you. In this way, I can optimise our tutoring times and teach what's most important to you.
I aim to build confidence, independence, and sustainable-learning in my students so that they are prepared for the world of university, industry jobs, and life where self-study and independent learning is the ruling theme. I also emphasise the importance of healthy study-habits to each of my students such as timely sleeping, consistent rather than cram studying, and maintaining a hobby (yes don't give up your violin; ling ling would be disappointed).
All of the above skills also apply to any one-off extensive assessment feedback sessions you want as I want you to understand the tricks to getting that 90%+.
