I'm a 2023 graduate from Brisbane State High School and I’m currently studying a Bachelor of Science with provisional entry into a Doctor of Medicine at The University of Queensland. As someone who has left the high school 2 years ago, I know how tough school can be. I haven't always had exceptional results in my classes, and I know that it's not easy to improve. But I worked extremely diligently, and by the time I got to year 12, I scored exceptionally well in all of my courses, eventually graduating as the top student out of 53,181 graduates. While most students undertook 6 subjects, I studied 8 subjects, including a university course (which I received a perfect score in). Through my own experiences, I am positive I can show you the way to success. I’ve been a student at several tuition centres and I have also been a tutor since 2022 (including at Padea Education and at XCV Tutoring), helping both primary and high school students online, in-person, and at school extension programs. Whatever it is, I guarantee that you will have something to take away from your experience with me. Some of my recent students got a higher ATAR than me, and some students are studying medicine/dentistry and various other degrees at different universities around Australia! What sets me apart from the other tutors is that, as someone who has been tutoring for a while now, I have up-to-date resources and knowledge that you need to succeed in 2025. I’ve also tried every exam and past external paper on QCAA, so I can definitely help you work through those, including the external exams that I sat myself. Additionally, I have looked through the new 2025 syllabus for current year 11 students, and am confident with all the learning objectives for the subjects that I’m offering. More specifically, my tutoring revolves around maximising the marks that you can receive in every assessment and exam by focusing on the marking guides and syllabuses, helping you achieve the results that you’re looking for. As a bonus, if you're also someone going for academic or leadership scholarships, applying to medicine/dentistry, or wanting to get ahead with UCAT, I can support you. For UCAT, I've used MedEntry, Medify and iCanMed to prepare, so if you're wanting to know more about those platforms, I can provide you with advice. As an affiliate, I can also give you a discount on MedEntry courses. With medicine/dentistry interviews, the same thing applies. As someone who’s received 9 medicine and dentistry interview offers and 4 medicine offers, I have the experience and results to prove that I’ve got what it takes to excel in these high-stakes interviews. In Year 12, I took private interview classes myself, so I know how to best tackle interviews to help you get into your dream course. I tutor online or in-person, at Garden City Library (Thursday) or UQ Libraries (negotiable). I ONLY TAKE PREPAYMENTS (MONTHLY PREPAYMENTS FOR LONG-TERM STUDENTS). Online: 1 student: $70/hr 2 students: $45/hr In person: 1 student: $85/hr 2 students: $50/hr 3 students: $40/hr UCAT - $80/hr (in person is $90/hr) Medicine/dentistry interviews - $100/hr ⭐️After having a long waitlist for several months, I realised that I couldn't help everyone who reached out to me. Because of this, I founded 100Tutoring, where I've hired tutors who are just as passionate about teaching as I am! If you're looking for a reliable tutor who can offer tutoring at a lower price than I can, please reach out. If you are interested, you can send me a message here, via LinkedIn (free), or through social media (free)!⭐️

Reviews

Josh teaches the concepts very thoroughly and makes sure that every part is understood before moving on. I find that he makes hard concepts easy to understand and it makes him a great teacher.

Joshua knows the QCAA syllabus inside out, and he can answer any question about any maths topic. Whether it’s the hardest ‘Complex Unfamiliar’ exam questions, or a problem-solving assignment, he helps me get the best results possible!!

Amazing tutor. Very easy to communicate and connect with. Understands my every area of concern and helps targets those areas. I’m more confident than ever for my spec exams now :).

Joshua is conscientious, amicable, and has an affinity for fully articulating complex ideas in a comprehensive manner. As a former classmate of his I can attest that he is well versed in the subjects he tutors, and it is rewarding to work with him.

Throughout my senior schooling, I have worked with Joshua extensively. His dedication and commitment to understanding a concept before moving on to something else is commendable. His unique thinking has allowed him to solve difficult problems in the STEM field, which can be useful for students looking to have a methodical approach to high-level questions. This may be due to Joshua’s logical and systematic approach to questions, which can be seen in his chess prowess, and his success in math olympiads. Due to these factors, as well as his caring nature, I would highly recommend Joshua as a private tutor for all ages.
