About
Hi, I'm Matthew, a first-year medical student at Monash University. As someone who has recently been through the schooling system, I am keen to help you find academic success. I achieved A+'s with merits in Mathematical Methods, Specialist Maths, Chemistry, Physics and Research Project B, and was awarded a Governor of South Australia Commendation - Excellence Award. I was also the Dux of the Headstart program at Adelaide Uni in 2023. My raw ATAR score is 99.95.
If you are looking for help with maths, physics or chemistry, I would be happy to help. Having graduated this year, these subjects are fresh in my mind and I have a lot of tips to help you thrive.
I also have experience volunteering at maths help sessions at my school, and enjoy assisting students to overcome challenges by viewing them from different angles. I particularly emphasise the importance of firmly grasping concepts before applying them, and can explain complex ideas in simpler ways.
My rates are $60 an hour.
I offer online lessons as I am studying interstate for uni.
