Yao X.

I am a current university student with an ATAR of 99.90 and top internal ranks across multiple HSC subjects, including Rank 1 in English Advanced, English Extension 1, English Extension 2, and Modern History. I also achieved strong results in mathematics (Rank 3 in both Mathematics Extension 1 and Mathematics Extension 2) and music (Rank 4 in Music 2 and Rank 2 in Music Extension). My HSC results include 1st in the state for English Extension 2, 17th in the state for Modern History, and marks of 96 and 97 in Mathematics Extension 2 and Extension 1 respectively. I was selected for the Young Writers’ Showcase 2025 and recognised for academic excellence through the University of Sydney Academic Achievement Award. Alongside my academic background, I bring extensive experience in debating and public speaking. I represented my school in the CAS Representative Seconds Team, competed in CAS Debating Premiers, served as Debating Vice-Captain, and mentored junior debaters. I also reached the Regional Finals of the Plain English Speaking Award. I offer specialised tutoring in debating, public speaking, and argumentation, with a focus on persuasive structure, clarity, and confident delivery. I have further experience mentoring younger students through The Smith Family’s Student2Student literacy program, as well as supporting primary-aged students through international immersion initiatives. I currently tutor English, Modern History, and Mathematics, including Extension 1 and Extension 2 content, and provide targeted support in writing, exam technique, debating, and public speaking. My tutoring approach is based off building a sustainable relationship that allows me to tailor towards my students. My charging rate begins at $75/hr, for maths. $85/hr for debating and public speaking tutoring. For debating and public speaking group lesson, I will do $60/hr per individual. I exclusively tutor English at Opus English. To get in touch, please visit: opusenglish(dot)com.
