About

Hi! I am Sarina. I am currently studying a Bachelor of Science and Bachelor of Advanced Studies (Advanced) at the University of Sydney, majoring in Chemistry and Genetics and Genomics. With a strong passion for Science and Math (and band 6s results), I am confident in helping you achieve your academic goals. I offer online lessons, and outside of lesson hours I provide ongoing support by answering unlimited questions, offering feedback for school assignments and marking unlimited past papers with detailed comments. I have over two years of tutoring experience specialising in Year 11–12 STEM subjects and have supported multiple students all the way through to their HSC examinations. Academic Results: Chemistry: Rank 2nd Internal Physics: Rank 1st Internal Biology: Rank 2nd Internal Mathematics Advanced (accelerated in 2024) : Band 6 - 93/100 (Rank 5 Internal) Mathematics Extension 1 (accelerated in 2024): E3 - 44/50 (Rank 5 Internal) I have also participated in a range of academic competitions including Science Olympiads, Da Vinci Decathlon, Titration competition, Senior ethics olympiad. Therefore, I can also provide support for these extracurricular areas. My Teaching: As someone who struggled in junior high school, I deeply understand why students may find certain concepts difficult. My lessons are 100% tailored to your needs. I explain complex ideas through daily examples and analogies. If you are struggling to apply theory to exam questions, I can break down past paper questions into clear, repeatable steps. I will also help you create systematic approaches that allow you to tackle similar questions in future exams with confidence. Almost like your own "standard operational procedures" πŸ˜†. This journey is not easy but it is absolutely achievable. I will support you every step of the way. Students will receive: πŸ“š High quality notes, study materials and exam ready resources - e.g. Case studies to memorise for biology, Tips on memorising different rules in chemistry, etc πŸ’πŸ» 24/7 communication for homework/assessment help, marking and advice πŸŽ“Targeted assistance for school assignments and exams ✍️ Comprehensive marked papers with tailored feedback Pricing: 1 on 1: Biology, Chemistry, Physics Yr 11-12: $70/hr Math (Standard, Advanced, Extension 1): $70/hr Science and Math Yr 7-10: $50/hr Group Lessons (2-4): Biology, Chemistry, Physics Yr 11-12: $55/hr Math (Standard, Advanced, Extension 1): $55/hr Science and Math Yr 7-10: $40/hr ***Referral Bonus: Know someone who might benefit from tutoring?

Reviews

I’m currently in Year 11 and have been getting tutoring from Sarina for Biology and Math Standard this year. She is extremely responsible and always makes sure I understand everything before moving on. I especially enjoy the Biology case studies she goes through with me. They make the content so much easier to remember and apply in exams. Thanks to her, I’m now ranked 1st in Biology at school. I definitely recommend her!

Sarina has been a great tutor and friend to me. She has tutored me throughout Year 11 and Year 12 in both Math Advanced and Extension 1. In year 10 I was at the bottom of my class and was struggling to understand even the most basic concepts. I used to feel overwhelmed and stressed going into every assessment. However, Sarina literally broke down every topic with me and explained difficult ideas in a clear and simple way. She was super patient with me and my dumb questions. She taught me these step by step methods to tackle down different questions and pointed out silly mistake that I needed to avoid. She was always there when I needed the help and support even outside of lesson time and especially before exams. Thanks to her I had a huge improvements in my results. I ended up ranking 10th out of more than 100 students in my grade. I highly recommend Sarina to anyone who is struggling with math.
