I'm Brian, a graduate of Normanhurst Boys High School, and UNSW Actuarial Studies student. I am a sociable and experienced tutor familiar with HSC tutoring and classroom teaching, and I would love to have you onboard! โ€ผ๏ธContact Information Belowโ€ผ๏ธ TL;DR โœ”๏ธ VERIFIED ATAR: 99.80 โœ”๏ธ Chemistry Mark: 98/100 (Equivalent to 9th in NSW) โœ”๏ธ Tailored 1:1 and Group Lessons โœ”๏ธ Access to Exemplar Notes and Resources โœ”๏ธ Highly Reachable โœ”๏ธ ๐—˜๐˜…๐—ฎ๐—บ ๐˜€๐˜๐˜†๐—น๐—ฒ ๐—พ๐˜‚๐—ฒ๐˜€๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป๐˜€ โœ”๏ธ ๐—˜๐˜…๐—ฎ๐—บ & ๐˜€๐˜๐˜‚๐—ฑ๐˜† ๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฐ๐—ต๐—ป๐—ถ๐—พ๐˜‚๐—ฒ โœ”๏ธ Proven Results โœ”๏ธ WWCC Certified โœ”๏ธ Chill Guy ๐–๐ก๐ฒ ๐œ๐ก๐จ๐จ๐ฌ๐ž ๐ฆ๐ž? Iโ€™ve worked with students who thought theyโ€™d never get how to write their English essays, students who thought Chemistry was just โ€œnot their thing,โ€ and students who were convinced Math wasn't their strength. Every single one of them proved themselves wrong. And Iโ€™ve been there too. Unfortunately for me, Year 12 started on a low. I was stuck on 52% in Extension 1 Math and thought, โ€œMaybe Iโ€™m just not cut out for this.โ€ But with the right study technique, determination, and guidance, I turned that around to a mark of 96 in the HSC within 3 terms. I know what itโ€™s like to feel frustrated and stuck, and I know exactly how to help you get out of that rut. So believe me when I say Iโ€™ve seen students go from confused and frustrated to confident and absolutely smashing it. But here's the deal: no two of my students learnt the same. My approach? I tailor everything to you. I adapt my teaching to your unique learning style, goals, and pace, so youโ€™re always in the driverโ€™s seat. You shouldn't just understand the material, you should also feel confident in it. So, whatโ€™s my goal for you? With my support and personalised material, Iโ€™ll help you take charge of your own learning. Confidence comes from knowing you have the capability to succeed. And with confidence? Better marks naturally follow. School can feel like a mountain, but with the right guidance, every challenge is climbable. ๐‹๐ž๐ฌ๐ฌ๐จ๐ง ๐ฉ๐š๐œ๐ค๐š๐ ๐ž๐ฌ: All lessons come with FREE, UNLIMITED online assistance.

Reviews

Physics used to be one of those subjects where the second I tried a question on my own, Iโ€™d be completely lost. Since starting tutoring with Brian, itโ€™s been a game changer. He takes the time to push you to think for yourself. I can't count the amount of times he's gone overtime in my lessons, or checked in with me throughout the week to see if what I've learnt has stuck with me. With his help, I was able to score 93% in my Prelims from the 64% that I started the year off with, but more importantly, I donโ€™t feel like Iโ€™m constantly second-guessing myself anymore. Would 100% recommend.

This guy absolutely saved my chemistry mark๐Ÿ™. Brian breaks things down in a way that makes sense, and heโ€™s super patient when you donโ€™t get it straight away. He always had lesson material prepped and was reachable throughout the week if I had any questions. Best tutor that I've had and would 100% recommend him to anyone who is looking to make the greatest academic comeback of their life

I canโ€™t thank Brian enough for the difference heโ€™s made in my daughter's English results. Sheโ€™s always enjoyed English, but her marks werenโ€™t reflecting her potential. Brian's approach is unlike anything sheโ€™s received at school. He helped integrate personal voice in her writing, and got her to think about the authorโ€™s intent on the audience. This really helped her move beyond just analysing the text itself and made her essays feel much more thoughtful and sophisticated. He was also not shy to hand out resources. My daughter found his exemplar essays and constant feedback on her drafts particularly helpful, which aided her in improving her work. Iโ€™m so impressed with how much more confident she is in English now. If youโ€™re looking for someone who will truly invests their time in developing their student's skills and confidence, Brian is the tutor to go to.
