Hello, Iโm Julie! ๐ I am a 2023 graduate from the Queensland Academy for Health Sciences (QAHS) studying Medical Science at the University of the Sunshine Coast with provisional direct entry into Griffith Medicine. Here are some things about me:
1. I love helping students learn concepts in a comprehensive way ๐ฉโ๐ซ
2. I was a peer Chemistry tutor at my high school during Years 11 and 12๐
3. I love Science (especially Biology and Chemistry!)๐งฌ๐งช
My most recent tutoring achievements from students include:
- A grade improvement from a 2 to 6 in Year 12 Chemistry SL
- A grade improvement from a 3 to 5 in Year 12 Biology HL
- 100% grades in pre-IB Chemistry exams
(all in just ONE term!)
I know what it's like to want to improve your marks and how difficult it may be to do it on your own. That's why I'm here to help! My philosophy is simple - with the right guidance and explanation, difficult concepts can be easy to understand. As a tutor, I also aim to enhance your confidence about the subject, so you enjoy it!
In the past, I have tutored over 10 tutees, so I truly understand that every student is different! Everyone has their own unique learning style, preferred pace, strengths and weaknesses. From these experiences, I have learned the vitality of adapting to each child's individual needs - when to push and when to be patient, which is essential for student success.

Reviews
Julie is marvelous. She is one of the best tutors. No question in my mind. She is diligent, thorough, prompt and quite simply awesome. Julie's IA feedback is especially useful with so many useful tips. I am so glad I came across her profile.

I made the silly decision to take chemistry HL in grade 11 and Julie was my god sent. Not only was she able to explain tough concepts in a way that a fool like me was able to understand, but she knew how to answer questions in an IB format that saved me many times from having marks taken away. When tutoring me she would always be patient and repeat the question as many times as I asked until I was able to understand. Not only that but she always arrived prepared and would mould our session to my preferred teaching style and focus on topic I was struggling in. I 100% recommend hiring Julie to be your tutor sheโs a great teacher and really knows her stuff!

Julie is an amazing, enthusiastic tutor! She saved me through all the HL content of both biology and chemistry, especially in the critical period before exams. Her explanations are super detailed, covering every single thing in the syllabus, and extra easy to understand. As an international student, I could grasp topics with Julie in one go. Her fun and surprise quizzes kept me engaged with no pressure at all! Julie's digital notes, filled with tips, diagrams, and mnemonics, are invaluable. If you're lost in the rabbit hole of any subject, especially chemistry and biology, Julie will bring you up!

Julie is a reliable tutor who attends to her students question carefully and strives to improve her student's grade. She is comfortable to talk with about other subjects even though she isn't tutoring them.

I started off my chemistry journey with a 4, but Julie has been a wonderful and patient guide for my IB journey despite my hundreds of questions. Now I'm happily receiving grades of 6s and 7s.
