About

Hey! I’m Josh and I am a graduate of Knox Grammar School in 2022. I’m currently studying a double degree Bachelor of Commerce/Computer Science at UNSW. I’m available as a private tutor for every year, but primarily HSC and preliminary. I am willing to share my experience and knowledge I’ve obtained and learnt throughout my high school years and help you achieve your academic goals. My intent as your private tutor is to ensure that you have a clear understanding of the fundamental concepts underlying each topic and build you confidence to help you excel when facing a challenging obstacle such as an unfamiliar question. Teaching details: - 2022 Graduate – I am highly experienced with the new syllabus changes in 2019 and 2021 - Personalised lessons addressed to student's needs - Adaptive and flexible teaching depending on the student’s learning pace - Break down calculations and long response questions to ensure complete understanding -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subjects: Maths: - Integrated practice questions and proofs encourage understanding of techniques and concepts in math which promotes long term retention. - Lessons cover all topics in the NESA mathematics syllabus, beyond the textbook questions. - Topics can be tailored to follow your school's progression on request. Chemistry: - I encourage a thorough understanding of chemistry concepts rather than simply memorisation of theory and formula. - Lessons cover all 8 modules and integrate exam style practice as well as specialised exam technique and revision lessons to ensure you are fully prepared for your assessment tasks. English: - Student personalised lessons, dependent on students’ needs. - Specialisation on exam preparations for different forms of literature from creative to discursive, comparative, etc. - Engaging classes that challenges students when generating ideas, unlike disengaging classes that is initiated by tutors providing the ideas. Japanese + Korean (Beginners & Continuers): - Effective learning methods for languages to achieve long-term retention (vocabulary and grammar). - Opportunity to talk freely with a native-level speaking tutor to improve speaking and pronunciation. - Assessment tips which allowed myself to achieve dux of Japanese Continuers at Knox Grammar School.
