My goal as a tutor is to build confidence and thorough understanding of foundations in both Maths and Chem.

Classes are an open, judgement-free space for learning, discussions are strongly encouraged.

Rebecca is a great tutor that I would highly recommend. I almost gave up on maths, but after taking lessons with her, I was confident in answering even difficult maths questions. I went from 34/100 to 72/100 for my 2u maths in just 3 weeks.

I would recommend Bec very greatly to whoever is in need of a tutor. She provided very great content in subjects both math and chemistry. Very diligent in helping you understand difficult questions, I was failing maths and chemistry in the theory side of things. Usually ranging around from 20-40 precent but through the help of Bec I was able to pass both exams from achieving 23/100 in 2U math trials to 65/100 in the 4 week period of tutoring and from 37/100 in Chemistry to 67/100. I believe that if I had started studying with the help of Bec a couple of months before hsc I could have achieved 70-80% in both Maths and Chemistry.
