Alyssa S.

Hi! I'm Alyssa, a 22-year-old currently completing a Doctor of Medicine at the University of Sydney. Prior to this I completed a Bachelor of Medical Science (majoring in pathology), making it onto the Deans list and maintaining an HD average, as well as an Honours year (researching new treatments for childhood cancer) where I graduated with first class honours. I tutor: - Maths and Science for students in Years 7–10 - IB Sports Exercise and Health Science (SEHS) (years 11-12) - Biology for Years 11 and 12 (years 11-12) I achieved SEHS dux at MLC school and an IB score of 43/45 (ATAR equivalent of 99.55) with 7's in both SEHS and Biology As a tutor, I’m passionate about helping students reach their full academic potential. I understand that every student learns differently, so I tailor each session to the individual and their specific goals. Whether you're looking to build confidence in challenging areas or push further into advanced concepts, I'm here to support you. My teaching focuses on building a deep understanding of the underlying concepts and theories, rather than relying on rote memorisation. By understanding the "why" and "how," students are better equipped to apply their knowledge in unfamiliar contexts, through a deeper and more lasting comprehension. In addition to lessons I am also able to provide personalised notes for each topic. These notes help students clearly identify the key points from each lesson, as well as revise and gain confidence with each topic.
