99.90 ATAR 🎓| School Dux 🏆| Medical Student 🩺 Hi! I'm Ben, a 2023 graduate of Gregory Terrace and experienced tutor currently studying a Doctor of Medicine at Griffith. I graduated as Dux of my cohort with an ATAR of 99.90, having also received Dux awards in 13 subjects throughout high school, including Maths every year from Grades 6–12, Physics in Grades 11 and 12, and Economics in Grade 11. Year 12 results: Physics: 100/100 Maths methods: 99/100 Specialist maths: 98/100 Chemistry 97/100 Economics 96/100 My approach to tutoring focuses on building a genuine understanding of concepts rather than simply memorising how to solve particular problems. I regularly challenge students to explain why they are taking each step, helping them develop the problem-solving skills and confidence to tackle unfamiliar questions independently. I also strongly believe that active revision techniques lead to significantly improved retention, so I incorporate regular practice questions and quizzes into my sessions and encourage students to practise independently between sessions. I also share useful study resources, strategies and tips, while helping students develop better study habits, organisation and time management skills. I have over three years of tutoring experience and am happy to tutor any junior maths, science and business subjects, as well as Mathematical Methods, Specialist Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry and Economics in senior years. As a medical student, I am also happy to provide general advice and guidance to students considering a pathway into medicine. I generally work with students on an ongoing basis, with at least weekly sessions, allowing us to build understanding and confidence throughout the term rather than focusing only on short-term exam or assignment preparation. I'm currently taking new online students via Microsoft Teams, where I've found the interactive whiteboard particularly effective for working through problems together. My rates depend on year level: Years 7-9: $80/hr Years 10-12: $100/hr Please feel free to message me and send through any inquiries you may have. I look forward to hearing from you!!
