I often panicked, seeing the page filled with ideas that still felt foreign after studying - and so I would end up with marks I was never truly happy with. I was handed back my prelim chemistry test. Sitting in the staff common room, filled with nervousness, my fingers slowly unveiled a 49/70. With that, my rank for the year fell into the 50's. Seeing crosses stamped on top of my calculations, lines drawn through my explanations, all I could think was: โ€œHow could this have happened? Am I really choosing the right subject?". But with a change of mindset, and a little help from a tutor, in a year I came to love the subject, looked forward to every class and started marveling at the ideas that chemistry enabled us to understand. It culminated with a rank of 10th in my trials for chemistry and a fourth overall rank in physics - something I'd never thought would happen just a year ago. ๐—ฝ๐—ฎ๐˜€๐˜ ๐˜€๐˜‚๐—ฐ๐—ฐ๐—ฒ๐˜€๐˜€ Amongst the state rankers in maths and science Iโ€™m working with at Tutorgum, excellent results have been achieved: โœจ๐ŸŒŸโœจ ๐—ฅ๐—ฒ๐—ถ ๐—Ÿ๐—ผ๐—ต, ๐—ก๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—บ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ต๐˜‚๐—ฟ๐˜€๐˜ ๐—•๐—ผ๐˜†๐˜€ 2023, moved from 79% to 94% in Chemistry โœจ๐ŸŒŸโœจ ๐—”๐—ป๐—ด๐—ฒ๐—น๐—ฎ ๐—›๐—ฒ๐—น๐—ฎ๐—น, ๐—ฆ๐˜ ๐—จ๐—ฟ๐˜€๐˜‚๐—น๐—ฎ'๐˜€ ๐—–๐—ผ๐—น๐—น๐—ฒ๐—ด๐—ฒ ๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿฏ, 95 in Chem โœจ๐ŸŒŸโœจ ๐—ž๐—ฒ๐—น๐—น๐˜† ๐—Ÿ๐—ถ๐—ป, ๐—ฆ๐˜ ๐—š๐—ฒ๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—ด๐—ฒ ๐—š๐—ถ๐—ฟ๐—น๐˜€ ๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿฏ, 95 in Chem โœจ๐ŸŒŸโœจ ๐—๐—ฎ๐—ถ๐—ฑ๐—ฒ๐—ป ๐—–๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—ฒ, ๐—ฅ๐—ฒ๐—ฑ๐—ฑ๐—ฎ๐—บ ๐—›๐—ผ๐˜‚๐˜€๐—ฒ ๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿฏ, 95 in Physics โœจ๐ŸŒŸโœจ ๐— ๐˜‚๐˜€๐˜๐—ฎ๐—ณ๐—ฎ ๐—ž๐—ต๐—ฎ๐—ป, ๐—ฆ๐˜†๐—ฑ๐—ป๐—ฒ๐˜† ๐—š๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐—บ๐—บ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ 2023, got 99.95 and 1st in Chemistry. โœจ๐ŸŒŸโœจ ๐—๐—ฎ๐—ฑ๐—ฒ ๐—ฌ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ด, ๐— ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—ฑ๐—ฒ๐—ป 2021, moved from 49% in Year 11 Exams to 91 in HSC Chemistry. ๐˜„๐—ต๐˜† ๐—ฎ๐—บ ๐—ถ ๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ โœจ๐ŸŒŸโœจ ๐—”๐—ฝ๐—ฝ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—น๐˜€ ๐˜๐—ผ ๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚๐—ฟ ๐—ถ๐—ป๐˜๐˜‚๐—ถ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป. Maths is often explained terribly. I explain maths intuitively and visually - giving you those Aha moments. It makes maths make sense - meaning less memorisation, more confidence and better marks!

Doing practice questions has in my experience been the fastest way to improve. Every week, we give very tough, exam styled questions as homework.

My classes are small but I still attend to individual needs. In class we go through the content that everyone needs - but after class, I'll be there to address your specific questions and needs. You'll also be able to ask me any questions between classes too, via text/email/phone. I'll spend an hour with you if needed to help you understand something. โœจ๐ŸŒŸโœจ $45/hr for Year 11 Why not give it a try? First lesson is only charged if you continue - free otherwise.

Yes, you're right! I've had to sit through terrible, useless online/group lessons too! But is it the setting - or the tutor, causing it to be bad? Often students do get lost in group lessons. This happens when the tutor doesnโ€™t care. โ€Žโ€Žโ€Žโ€Žโ€Žโ€Žโ€Žโ€Žโ€Žโ€Žโ€Žโ€โ€โ€Ž โ€Žโ€โ€โ€Ž โ€Žโ€โ€โ€Ž โ€Žโ€โ€โ€Ž โ€Žโ€โ€โ€Ž โ€Žโ€โ€โ€Ž โ€ข I ask every student questions during class โ€“ so they pay attention. โ€Žโ€Žโ€Žโ€Žโ€Žโ€Žโ€Žโ€Žโ€Žโ€Žโ€Žโ€โ€โ€Ž โ€Žโ€โ€โ€Ž โ€Žโ€โ€โ€Ž โ€Žโ€โ€โ€Ž โ€Žโ€โ€โ€Ž โ€Žโ€โ€โ€Ž โ€ข I monitor every student to see if theyโ€™re falling behind. โ€Žโ€Žโ€Žโ€Žโ€Žโ€Žโ€Žโ€Žโ€Žโ€Žโ€Žโ€โ€โ€Ž โ€Žโ€โ€โ€Ž โ€Žโ€โ€โ€Ž โ€Žโ€โ€โ€Ž โ€Žโ€โ€โ€Ž โ€Žโ€โ€โ€Ž โ€ข I help out 1-1, afterclass, through the week.

But, is the setting more important to you, than your child getting an expert? Thereโ€™s a lot of tutors out there. But how many of them have topped NSW? Not all of them know statistical analysis and vectors like I do. Or how to explain it to get the "Aha!" moment. Or why students lose marks. Or how to fix it. And that means they won't produce results, like helping Kirsten Chu, 2022, move from 56% to 91%. ๐Ÿ’ฌ "๐—•๐˜‚๐˜ ๐˜„๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜ ๐—ถ๐—ณ ๐—บ๐˜† ๐—ฐ๐—ต๐—ถ๐—น๐—ฑ ๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜€ ๐—พ๐˜‚๐—ฒ๐˜€๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป๐˜€?" Our group is run differently to most tutors. I am willing to spend 1-1 time with you. If you have questions โ€“ you can ask me 1-1 after class! And throughout the week! Iโ€™ll spend an hour with you if you need it.
