I cannot express enough gratitude for Yejin, my bio tutor. Over the past couple of months, she has truly been a game-changer for me. Yejin has a unique ability to simplify complex bio concepts and make them easily understandable. Thanks to her help, I’ve felt much more confident in biology. Yejin's dedication have not only helped me grasp challenging topics but have also sparked my interest and curiosity in the subject. I highly recommend Yejin as a bio tutor to anyone looking for some extra help, as she is incredibly easy to talk to. She helps me feel confident and explains with lots of patience.

Yejin was super helpful in guiding me through philosophy and preparing me for my external exams. She had a deep understanding of complex philosophical concepts and a remarkable ability to explain these concepts clearly. She helped me connect philosophical theories to real-world examples, making the content much more engaging and easier to understand. She tailored our sessions to my specific needs, ensuring I fully understood key topics and felt confident in applying them to exam questions. Thanks to her expertise and encouragement, I felt incredibly well-prepared for my external exams. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, patient, and inspiring tutor, Yejin is the person!!

Yejin went above and beyond for what i had expected her to be as a tutor. Her access to past/mock papers, notes and lessons boosted my grades up philosophy immensely. She is a kind and friendly tutor who is willing to help her students get across the finish line. She had prepped me very well going into my exams and giving constructive criticism for my assignments. Yejin would be a perfect fit for anyone who decides to start up classes with her.

Yejin was a key factor to my success in my Year 12 Philosophy and Reason, guiding me and assisting with every assignment. She integrates a really supportive and consistent structure to her lessons, with resources that were very helpful. I ended up getting full marks for every assignment I did with her, which is truly a testament to her tutoring experience and abilities. Definitely recommend!

Yejin has been a really helpful tutor! She explains things in a really clear way so they make sense and helped make philosophy and biology feel easier. Yejin is patient, understanding, well organized and a clear communicator. Thank you Yejin for helping me get through year 12.

I really liked Yejin and her teaching style was really prepared. Once we kind of figured out what I needed work on, she would have some questions ready for the next session based on what we’d done the previous session. She was really friendly, and it was easy to ask questions if I didn’t get something the first time. She really knows her stuff, so she found several ways to explain the same thing, which helped when we practiced applying what we’d gone over to differently worded questions on the same topic. Overall one of the best tutors I’ve had so far.

Yejin has been an amazing philosophy and biology tutor. I only started with her two weeks before my exams, but she still covered all the main topics and info I needed to succeed. She uses different techniques depending on what works best, like explaining while I took notes, using diagrams and real life examples that I relate to. She’d always check I understood by asking questions or having me teach her back, which built my confidence. She’s super patient and supportive and fit me into her schedule, and her kind words kept me believing I could do well. I usually struggle with some of this stuff, but she didn’t give up until I understood it. She’s honestly made me see these subjects in a whole new light, and now I’m excited to keep learning and aim to do well.

Yejin has been an amazing help with my Year 11 Psych studies, she is really efficient at breaking down complex topics into easy to understand information. Her study tips and tricks have really helped me stay on track with my work, and has greatly assisted in my understanding of the subject. She is really patient, and able to listen to any questions I have, just always looking to help in the best way possible! I would highly recommend Yejin to any any student covering psychology, truly an excellent tutor who is passionate about seeing students succeed!

I had an amazing experience with Yejin in English & Literature extension. Initially, I was very scared by this complex subject, often feeling stressed and overwhelmed. However, Yejin would patiently walk me through the concepts step by step. She understood how stressful and hard the subject can be, reassuring me that I would be okay. She always provided me with additional materials that I could use for my assignments and would also give feedbacks that I could use to improve myself. Despite her busy schedule, she never failed to make time for me. I 100% recommend Yejin and am truly grateful for all her support and guidance. Thank you!

Yejin helped me with both my English IA2 and my Biology IA3. In both subjects she gave me incredibly comprehensive feedback that helped me to achieve high marks. I would recommend her to anyone struggling with their assignments to content work!

Yejin truly is one of a kind in her tutoring and communication skills. My daughter absolutely thrives on her feedback and gains so much more with her than she does in the classroom and draft feedback on assignments from teachers. I spent a while looking for the perfect fit for year 12 needs in our family and honestly, I cannot recommend her enough. Is punctual, more than knowledgeable on the curriculum content and PMST marking and overall, just amazing. Thank you so much Yejin for your continued support and guidance.

Yejin has been my favourite tutor for the past 2 years. She is a hardworking, funny and enthusiastic tutor who significantly improved my narrative and persuasive writing skills when preparing for the Brisbane State High School selective academic entry exam. I find myself always looking forward to our lessons and highly recommend her to anyone who wants an approachable, generous and knowledgeable tutor!
