USYD Law | ATAR 98.90 | 97 English Adv | 48 English Ext 1 | Hi! My name is Trist and I'm a first year BA (International Relations) and Law (Dalyell Scholars) student at USYD. I graduated in 2023 with an ATAR of 98.90, specialising in English tutoring. My marks for HSC are as follows: English Advanced: 97/100 English Extension I: 48/50 History Extension: 48/50 Modern History: 92/100 Legal Studies: 95/100 Studies of Religion I: 47/50 Economics: 89/100 A little about me & my teaching philosophy :) I am passionate about learning and helping people! My approach to teaching centres around three main tenets: fostering a growth-driven mindset, building self-confidence, perfecting fundamental skills. I provide individualised tutoring services for English Advanced and English Extension, emphasizing essay structure, expression, and a thorough understanding of form and language features. Additionally, I cover content tailored to the Year 11 and Year 12 rubrics. I believe that every student possesses their own unique ability to succeed in any given subject, and through delegating lesson time effectively, I am able to cater to individual needs and help students reach personal goals. Content delivered will be sourced from my own portfolio of exemplar essays, creative writing pieces as well as a plethora of various short/extended responses. I love to cultivate not only a deep understanding of content knowledge, but also work on building core skills with my students; this includes short and long-term goal setting, maximising study efficiency and developing productive habits for exam time. I am intensive and results-driven but positive and open about teaching, ultimately melding together student directed learning with my own strategies as a tutor to equip students with skills for lifelong success in their educational endeavours!
