A little about me
Hi my name is Alexander (Xander).
I’m a Brisbane State High School graduate and current first year Medical student at The University of Melbourne, having been awarded the highest level of scholarship — the Chancellor’s Scholarship. I completed a bachelor of commerce dual majoring in finance and economics.
I achieved an ATAR score of 99.90 (the top 0.1% in the state of QLD) and scored 3090 (94th percentile 2022) in my University Clinical Aptitude Test (UCAT). This coupled with my medical interview skills, led to me receiving multiple offers to study medicine from universities across Australia.
My tutoring experience
I have extensive tutoring experience having worked with high school students of all ages to develop their learning and academic abilities, skills, and enabling them to reach their desired academic objectives.
At Brisbane State High School, I led the school’s Academic Support Program to support students of all academic levels achieve their fullest academic potential.
A personalised approach
- My tailored tutoring style is based on your individual and specific needs and learning style.
- I use proven and effective learning strategies enabling students to progress — with a strong focus on communication skills, patience and encouragement.
- I provide practical tips and guidance on ensuring homework and assignments tick all the criteria and respond to the task.
- Resources I use include practice papers, worksheets and textbooks to ensure you feel prepared and can effectively meet all the marking criteria in your responses.
- My approach centres on building your confidence and skills so that you can apply these in further scenarios.
- I have also helped students from diverse multicultural backgrounds and children with learning difficulties and can cater my tutoring to any specific needs. I offer tutoring in English, French and Portuguese.

• Homework and assignment help to support you in understanding of complex and difficult concepts and development of academic skills.
