I'm offering tutoring for Chemistry, Physics and Mathematics Extension 1. 📤 𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐦𝐞? 𝐓𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐏𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐨𝐩𝐡𝐲 I believe that curiosity is the driving force behind all learning. I encourage students to think critically about how what we study connects to the world around us. This principle shapes my own learning and teaching philosophy, which I aim to pass on to my students to help them foster a deeper and more meaningful understanding of their subjects. 𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 Since graduating high school, I’ve spent the last 2 years tutoring in both small group and private one on one settings, working with over 20 students from a wide range of public and private schools, including North Sydney Girls, North Sydney Boys, Baulkham Hills, Normanhurst Boys, Knox Grammar, St Joseph’s College, Pymble Ladies’ College, Presbyterian Ladies College, Hornsby Girls, Cherrybrook Tech, Hills Grammar and Castle Hill High. Through this experience, I’m able to adapt my teaching methods to tailor lessons towards each individual students’ needs, and help you develop study and exam techniques that will assist you in reaching your goals. 📤 𝐀𝐜𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐜 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐬: ATAR: 𝟗𝟗.𝟕𝟓 Chemistry: 𝟗𝟕 (Rank 2 at NBHS, 𝟗𝟖 Assessment Mark) Mathematics Extension 1: 𝟗𝟖 (𝟗𝟗 HSC Exam Mark) Physics: 𝟗𝟓 (Rank 9 at NBHS) Mathematics Extension 2: 𝟗𝟓 (Rank 10 at NBHS) 📤𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐝𝐨 𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐠𝐞𝐭? • Weekly homework/tutorial questions that will strengthen and solidify your understanding of new concepts (message for sample) • Guidance for structuring short answer responses to receive full marks through exam-like example questions • Extensive collection of new syllabus past papers, state-rank notes and state-rank exemplar responses • Detailed and annotated feedback for homework submissions 📤 𝐒𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐬 Normanhurst Boys: Ranked 𝟐𝟐𝐧𝐝 to ranked 𝟑𝐫𝐝 in cohort (Chemistry) Hornsby Girls: Ranked 𝟏𝟎𝐭𝐡 to Ranked 𝟑𝐫𝐝 in cohort (Chemistry), Top 5 (Physics, Mathematics Extension 1 and 2) North Sydney Girls: 𝟐𝟎% improvement between two assessments (Chemistry) St Joseph’s College: Ranked 𝟏𝐬𝐭 in cohort (Mathematics Extension 1), Ranked 𝟐𝐧𝐝 in cohort (Chemistry) 📤 𝐋𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐨𝐧 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐭 Lessons delivered on Zoom Premium or face-to-face (availability varies) 📤𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐠 1 on 1: $75-85/hr depending on year level and subject.
