I’m Kevin, a graduate from North Sydney Boys High School (NSW’s top-ranked school). Having completed the HSC recently, I specialise in teaching exactly 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸𝘀 under the current HSC syllabus, NESA marking criteria, internal exams, and selective school standards. Currently, I'm teaching: > Chemistry (Year 7 - 10 Science, Year 11 - 12 HSC Chemistry) > Japanese (Year 7 - 10 Japanese, Year 11 - 12 HSC Japanese Beginners/Continuers/Extension) I’ve seen too many students believe they’ve mastered the content through school classes or group tutoring centres, only to realise they can’t apply it to exam questions at a Band 6 standard. For the HSC, I believe that practising the 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁 through exam-style questions is far more important than simply memorising theory. That’s why, instead of focusing on “rushing through the content”, my lessons place heavy emphasis on 𝗲𝘅𝗮𝗺 𝘁𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗶𝗾𝘂𝗲𝘀 and topic-specific strategies to 𝗮𝘃𝗼𝗶𝗱 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 “𝘀𝗶𝗹𝗹𝘆” 𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝘀, allowing students to see real improvement and work towards achieving their dream HSC marks. I work with students of all ability levels, whether your goal is to strengthen foundations, climb internal ranks, or push into state rank. Every student receives a clear plan, targeted feedback, and consistent support to improve efficiently and confidently. 🗓️ 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐃𝐢𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫 🗓️ Unlike other tutors who only teach during lesson time, I spend significant additional time 𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗳𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝘀𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁’𝘀 𝘄𝗲𝗮𝗸𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗲𝘀 and 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗹𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗵𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸. For example, for a 2-hour weekly 1-to-1 Chemistry lesson, I spend an extra 2 to 3 hours creating personalised notes that suits my student’s learning ability, question banks prioirtising student’s weaker topics, and resources so my students receive some of the best preparation available. 🧪𝐂𝐡𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐲 (𝐘𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝟏𝟏–𝟏𝟐)🧪 🔹 Ranked 1st internally at North Sydney Boys with a 97/100 HSC assessment mark 🔹 Strong focus on 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗽𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹 𝗰𝗹𝗮𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆, 𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗰𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗵𝗶𝗴𝗵-𝘀𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗲𝘅𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗱 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗲𝘀, NOT just “content memorisation” 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝒍𝒆𝒔𝒔𝒐𝒏𝒔: 📘 Lesson begins with a 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗱𝗶𝗮𝗴𝗻𝗼𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗾𝘂𝗶𝘇 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻. As students often forget content from previous weeks or terms, this allows me to identify which topics you’ve truly mastered and where your weaknesses lie, before reinforcing understanding through targeted exam-style questions. 📘 Fully personalised HSC Chemistry booklets organised by NESA syllabus dot point, including 𝗽𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗾𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀, 𝘀𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗲𝘀, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗳𝘂𝗹𝗹-𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸 “𝗲𝘅𝗮𝗺 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵” 𝗳𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗲𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀. 📘 Tutorials on the 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗦𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 component of HSC Chemistry. This section is commonly neglected by students, so with me you will consistently revise and practise Working Scientifically questions to ensure no marks are lost due to lack of preparation. 📘 Access to state-rank level responses and notes, covering difficult syllabus edges, 𝘀𝘂𝗯𝘁𝗹𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗱𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘀, 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗼𝗻 𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝘀, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗵𝗶𝗴𝗵-𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁 𝗲𝘅𝗮𝗺 𝘁𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗶𝗾𝘂𝗲𝘀. 📘 Exclusive, high-quality practice exams and revision worksheets designed to 𝘀𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗽𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘀𝗲 𝗲𝘅𝗮𝗺 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗲𝘀 and maximise marks under time pressure. 🇯🇵 𝐉𝐚𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐞 (𝐀𝐋𝐋 𝐋𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐋𝐒: 𝐘𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝟕–𝟏𝟎, 𝐘𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝟏𝟏–𝟏𝟐 𝐁𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐬 / 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐮𝐞𝐫𝐬 / 𝐄𝐱𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧) 🇯🇵 🔴 Ranked 1st internally at North Sydney Boys, 48/50 Japanese Extension (state-rank equivalent mark) 🔴 Specialised focus on precision, accuracy, and maximising exam performance 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝒍𝒆𝒔𝒔𝒐𝒏𝒔: 📕 Grammar mastery and sentence construction taught strictly according to HSC marking criteria, ensuring students know exactly what earns marks. 📕 Systematic kanji learning strategies designed for long-term retention and rapid recall under exam conditions. 📕 Listening techniques to maximise accuracy, including prediction strategies and common trap avoidance. 📕 Advanced writing structures for Continuers and Extension, with personalised corrections, model responses, and detailed feedback to push responses to full-mark level. 💬 Prices are negotiable, starting from $45/hr for small group lessons. 💬 Due to the time invested per student and high demand, availability is limited.
